Bayhaqi 6737 — No more than its own earth is added to the grave

وَقَدْ أَنْبَأَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ إِجَازَةً، أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُشَّ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ الْمَاءُ، وَوُضِعَ عَلَيْهِ حَصْبَاءُ مِنْ حَصْبَاءِ الْعَرْصَةِ، وَرُفِعَ قَبْرُهُ قَدْرَ شِبْرٍ ". وَهَذَا مُرْسَلٌ، وَرَوَاهُ الْوَاقِدِيُّ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَذَلِكَ يُرَدُّ.
Ja'far bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that water was sprinkled on the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), pebbles were placed on it, and the grave was raised to the height of a hand-span.
This is mursal (the Companion is missing from the chain). Al-Waqidi narrated it with a chain of his own from Jabir, and that is rejected.
