أَنْبَأَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، أنبأ أَبُو كَامِلٍ، ثنا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ " " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُلْحِدَ لَهُ لَحْدًا، وَنُصِبَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنَ نَصْبًا "، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: " وَرُفِعَ قَبْرُهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ نَحْوًا مِنْ شِبْرٍ ". كَذَا وَجَدْتُهُ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a lahd (niche grave) was dug for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and unbaked bricks were set up over him. Then he mentioned the rest of the hadith and said that the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was raised from the ground by about a hand-span. This is how I found it.
