Hazrat Wathilah bin Asqa’ Laithi narrates that I heard Sayyiduna Abu Marthad Ghanawi (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Do not sit on graves and do not pray facing towards them. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in the chain of this hadith, Imam Ibn Mubarak has added the intermediary of Abu Idris Khawlani between Bishr bin Ubaidullah and Wathilah bin Asqa’.
