“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
died, they differed as to whether his grave should have a niche or a
ditch in the ground, until they spoke and raised their voices
concerning that. Then ‘Umar said: ‘Do not shout in the presence
of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), living or dead,’ or words to that
effect. So
they sent for both the one who made a niche and the one
who dug graves
without a niche, and the one who used to make a niche
came and dug a
grave with a niche for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ),
then he (ﷺ) was
buried.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 6, Hadith 126
