Hadith #27
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْ
هِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَدْرُوا أَيْنَ يَقْبُرُونَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَنْ يُقْبَرَ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا حَيْثُ يَمُوتُ فَأَخَّرُوا فِرَاشَهُ وَحَفَرُوا لَهُ تَحْتَ فِرَاشِهِ

عبد الرزاق
ابن جريج
English Translation
Ibn Juraij (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that my father told me that the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ did not know where to bury the Prophet ﷺ until Abu Bakr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: `A Prophet is not to be buried except where he died.” So they removed his bed and dug a grave for him beneath
