The practice of the early and later generations regarding writing on graves
Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 1386
اُردوEn
حدَّثَناه أبو الحسن أحمد بن محمد العَنَزي، حدثنا محمد بن عبد الرحمن السَّامي، حدثنا سعيد بن منصور، حدثنا أبو معاوية، عن ابن جُرَيج، عن أبي الزُّبير، عن جابرٍ قال: نهى رسول الله ﷺ عن تَجصِيص القبور، والكتابِ فيها، والبناءِ عليها، والجلوسِ عليها (1). هذه الأسانيد صحيحةٌ وليس العملُ عليها، فإنَّ أئمّة المسلمين من الشرق إلى الغرب مكتوبٌ على قبورهم، وهو عملٌ أَخذ به الخَلَفُ عن السَّلف (1).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade plastering graves, writing on them, building over them and sitting on them.
These chains are sahih (authentic), but (in practice) they are not acted upon, for the graves of the Imams of the Muslims from the East to the West have writing on them, and this is a practice that the later generations (khalaf) took from the earlier ones (salaf).

Grading: (1) Its chain too is sahih, like the preceding narration. Abu Mu'awiyah is Muhammad bin Khazim al-Darir. Ibn Hibban also narrated it.
(1) تعقبه الذهبي في "التلخيص" بقوله: ما قلتَ طائلًا، ولا نعلم صحابيًا فعل ذلك، وإنما هو شيء أحدثه بعض التابعين فمن بعدهم، ولم يبلغهم النهي.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): (1) Al-Dhahabi, objecting to al-Hakim in al-Talkhis, said: "What you said carries no weight; no Companion is known to have done this (writing on graves); it is an innovation of later people whom the prohibition had not reached."
