اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : وَحَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَحْفِرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ يَضْرَحُ كَحَفْرِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَانَ يَلْحَدُ ، فَدَعَا الْعَبَّاسُ رَجُلَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمَا : اذْهَبْ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، وَلِلْآخَرِ : اذْهَبْ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، اللَّهُمَّ خِرْ لِرَسُولِكَ ، قَالَ : فَوَجَدَ صَاحِبُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ ، فَجَاءَ بِهِ ، فلحد لرسول الله صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) intended to dig the blessed grave after the passing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it was found that Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make a box-shaped grave as was the custom of the people of Makkah, and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), whose real name was Zayd bin Sahl, used to make a niche grave for the people of Madinah. So Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) called two men, sending one to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the other to Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and prayed, "O Allah! Choose what is better for Your Prophet." The man who went to Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) found him and brought him along, and thus a niche grave was prepared for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
