أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: أَوْصَى الْحَارِثُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهُ الْقَبْرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلِ الْقَبْرِ، وَقَالَ: " هَذَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ " هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ قَالَ هَذَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فَصَارَ كَالْمُسْنَدِ. وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا هَذَا الْقَوْلَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ.
Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that al-Harith left a will that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) should lead his funeral prayer. Then he was placed into the grave from the foot end, and he said: "This is the Sunnah."
This chain is sahih (authentic). Since he said 'This is from the Sunnah', it has become like a musnad (Prophetic) report. We have also narrated this statement from Ibn Umar and Anas bin Malik.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ ⦗٩٠⦘ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُلَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ ".
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Imran bin Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was lowered into the niche grave from the side of his head.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ الثِّقَةُ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " سُلَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was lowered into the niche grave from the side of his head.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، وَرَبِيعَةَ، وَأَبِي النَّضْرِ، لَا اخْتِلَافَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ: " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُلَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: هَذَا هُوَ الْمَشْهُورُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ.
Abu al-Zinad, Rabi'ah and Abu al-Nadr, all three without any disagreement among them, state that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) were lowered into the niche grave from the side of the head. The Shaykh says: This practice is well known among the people of the Hijaz.
وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْبَغَوِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، ثنا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، فِي مَنْزِلِهِ، ثنا عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " أُدْخِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَأُلْحِدَ لَهُ لَحْدٌ وَنُصِبَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنُ نَصْبًا " أَبُو بُرْدَةَ هَذَا هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ التَّمِيمِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ضَعَّفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُ.
Ibn Buraydah narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Buraydah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought into the grave from the direction of the qiblah, a niche grave (lahd) was dug for him, and bricks were set upright over it.
This Abu Burdah is Amr bin Yazid al-Tamimi al-Kufi, and he is da'if (weak) in hadith; Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared him weak.

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، ثنا الْمِنْهَالُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْرًا لَيْلًا وَأُسْرِجَ لَهُ سِرَاجٌ وَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: " رَحِمَكَ اللهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَأَوَّاهًا تَالِيًا لِلْقُرْآنِ " ⦗٩١⦘ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَالَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ أَشْهَرُ فِي أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ يَأْخُذُهُ الْخَلَفُ عَنِ السَّلَفِ فَهُوَ أَوْلَى بِالِاتِّبَاعِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered a grave at night, and a lamp was lit for him (peace and blessings be upon him). He took him (the deceased) from the direction of the qiblah and said four takbirs, then said: "May Allah have mercy on you! You were indeed forbearing and a reciter of the Qur'an."
This chain is weak, and it has also been narrated through another weak route from Ibn Mas'ud. But what Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned is widespread in the land of the Hijaz; the later generations took this practice from the earlier ones, and it is more worthy of being followed.
