Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died on
Monday and was buried on Tuesday and people prayed over him
individually with no one leading them. Some people said that he would
be buried near the mimbar, and others said that he would be buried in
al-Baqi. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq came and said, "I heard the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No prophet was
ever buried except in the place where he died.' "So a grave was dug
for him there. When he was about to be washed they wished to take off
his shirt but they heard a voice saying "Don't take off his shirt," so
they did not take off his shirt and he was washed with it on, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace.
