✍ Written by: Imran Ayyub Lahori
It is narrated from Hazrat Sufyan Thawri (رضي الله عنه) that:
أنه رأى قبر النبي مسنما
"He saw the grave of the Prophet (ﷺ) raised like a camel's hump."
Bukhari: 1390, Kitab al-Janaiz: Chapter on What is Mentioned Concerning the Graves of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and Umar
The hump-like shape (i.e., a slightly raised mound) of a grave is Mustahabb (recommended), as seen in the grave of the Prophet (ﷺ). This style distinguishes the grave without excessive elevation or construction, and is in line with the Sunnah.
