Thumamah says that we set out towards the land of Rome with Hazrat Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him)... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and said: So he said, "Keep it level, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to keep the graves level."
