أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْمَقَابِرِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ التَّمَّارُ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسَنَّمًا ".
Sufyan al-Tammar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I saw the blessed grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shaped like a camel's hump.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ، ثنا حَبَّانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ التَّمَّارِ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ " أَنَّهُ رَأَى قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسَنَّمًا " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُقَاتِلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، وَمَتَى مَا صَحَّتْ رِوَايَةُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُبُورُهُمْ مَبْطُوحَةٌ بِبَطْحَاءِ الْعَرْصَةِ فَذَلِكَ يَدُلُّ عَلَى التَّسْطِيحِ، وَصِحَّةِ رُؤْيَةِ سُفْيَانَ التَّمَّارِ قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسَنَّمًا، فَكَأَنَّهُ غُيِّرَ عَمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْقَدِيمِ فَقَدْ سَقَطَ جِدَارُهُ فِي زَمَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، وَقِيلَ فِي زَمَنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثُمَّ أُصْلِحَ، وَحَدِيثُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ أَصَحُّ، وَأَوْلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَحْفُوظًا، إِلَّا أَنَّ بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا اسْتَحَبَّ التَّسْنِيمَ فِي هَذَا الزَّمَانِ لِكَوْنِهِ جَائِزًا بِالْإِجْمَاعِ، وَأَنَّ التَّسْطِيحَ صَارَ شِعَارًا لِأَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ، فَلَا يَكُونُ سَبَبًا لِإِطَالَةِ الْأَلْسِنَةِ فِيهِ وَرَمْيِهِ بِمَا هُوَ مُنَزَّهٌ عَنْهُ مِنْ مَذَاهِبِ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ، وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.
Sufyan al-Tammar narrates that he saw the blessed grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shaped like a camel's hump.
If the report of al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) is authentic, that their graves were spread with the gravel of the courtyard, this indicates that they were level; and since Sufyan al-Tammar's seeing the blessed grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) humped is also authentic, it seems it was changed from how it was originally.
For its wall fell in the time of al-Walid bin Abd al-Malik, and it is said in the time of Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), and then it was repaired.
The hadith of al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) in this chapter is more authentic and more likely to be the preserved one. However, some of the scholars among our companions (the Shafi'is) considered making the grave humped preferable in this time, since it is permissible by consensus, and because levelling has become a mark of the people of innovation, so that it does not become a cause for tongues to wag about the deceased and for him to be accused of the innovators' doctrines of which he is free. And success is from Allah.
