باب: ما جاء فى وفاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
Prophets are buried where they die
Hadith 390
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُلَيْكِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي دَفْنِهِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا مَا نَسِيتُهُ قَالَ: «مَا قَبَضَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلَا فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُدْفَنَ فِيهِ» . ادْفِنُوهُ فِي مَوْضِعِ فِرَاشِهِ
Mother of the Believers, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, there arose differing opinions regarding the place of his burial. Then, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard a statement from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which I have not forgotten (rather, I remember it well). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Prophets pass away at the place where they wish to be buried." Thus, the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) buried him (peace and blessings be upon him) at the very spot where his bed was.
