Hadith 545
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " تُوُفِّيَ يَوْمَ الْاثْنَيْنِ ، وَدُفِنَ يَوْمَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ ، وَصَلَّى النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ أَفْذَاذًا لَا يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَحَدٌ ، فَقَالَ نَاسٌ : يُدْفَنُ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ : يُدْفَنُ بِالْبَقِيعِ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَا دُفِنَ نَبِيٌّ قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي مَكَانِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ فَحُفِرَ لَهُ فِيهِ " ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ غُسْلِهِ أَرَادُوا نَزْعَ قَمِيصِهِ ، فَسَمِعُوا صَوْتًا يَقُولُ : لَا تَنْزِعُوا الْقَمِيصَ ، فَلَمْ يُنْزَعِ الْقَمِيصُ ، وَغُسِّلَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away on Monday and was buried on Tuesday, and people prayed over him individually, with no one acting as their imam. Then some people said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) should be buried near the pulpit, and others said: In Baqi’. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “No prophet has been buried except at the place where he passed away.” Then a grave was dug at the place where he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. When the time for bathing came, people wanted to remove his (peace and blessings be upon him) shirt, but a voice was heard: Do not remove the shirt. So his (peace and blessings be upon him) shirt was not removed, and he was bathed while wearing his shirt.
