Volume 2, Book 23, Number 432:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, “Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary (sacred place) and it was a sanctuary before
me and will be so after me. It was made legal for me (to fight in it) for a few hours of the day. None is
allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its fallen
things except by a person who announces it publicly.” On that Al-Abbas said (to the Prophet), “Ex –
cept Al-Idhkhir for our goldsmiths and for our graves.” And so the Prophet added, “Except Al-Id –
hkhir. ” And Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, “Except Al-Idhkhir for our graves and
houses.” And Ibn Abbas said, “For their goldsmiths and houses.”
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 433:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle came to Abdullah bin Ubai (a hypocrite) after his death and he has been laid in his
pit (grave). He ordered (that he be taken out of the grave) and he was taken out. Then he placed him
on his knees and threw some of his saliva on him and clothed him in his (the Prophet’s) own shirt.
Allah knows better (why he did so). ‘Abdullah bin Ubai had given his shirt to Al-Abbas to wear. Abu
Harun said, “Allah’s Apostle at that time had two shirts and the son of ‘Abdullah bin Ubai said to him,
‘O Allah’s Apostle! Clothe my father in your shirt which has been in contact with your skin.’ ‘ Sufyan
added, “Thus people think that the Prophet clothed ‘Abdullah bin Tubal in his shirt in lieu of what he
(Abdullah) had done (for Al Abbas, the Prophet’s uncle.)”

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 434:
Narrated Jabir:
When the time of the Battle of Uhud approached, my father called me at night and said, “I think
that I will be the first amongst the companions of the Prophet to be martyred. I do not leave anyone
after me dearer to me than you, except Allah’s Apostle’s soul and I owe some debt and you should re –
pay it and treat your sisters favorably (nicely and politely).” So in the morning he was the first to be
martyred and was buried along with another (martyr). I did not like to leave him with the other
(martyr) so I took him out of the grave after six months of his burial and he was in the same condi –
tion as he was on the day of burial, except a slight change near his ear.

A man was buried along with my father and I did not like it till I took him (i.e. my father) out and
buried him in a separate grave.
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 436:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet collected every two martyrs of Uhud (in one grave) and then he would ask, “Which of
them knew the Quran more?” And if one of them was pointed out for him as having more know –
ledge, he would put him first in the Lahd. The Prophet said, “I will be a witness on these on the Day
of Resurrection.” Then he ordered them to be buried with their blood on their bodies and he did not
have them washed.

Narrated Ash-Shaibani:
Ash Sha’bi said, “I was informed by a man who had seen the Prophet going to a grave that was
separate from the other graves and he aligned the people in rows and said four Takbir.” I said, “O
Abu ‘Amr! who narrated (that) to you”? He said, “Ibn Abbas. ”

A black person, a male or a female used to clean the Mosque and then died. The Prophet (p.b.u.h)
did not know about it . One day the Prophet remembered him and said, “What happened to that per –
son?” The people replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! He died.” He said, “Why did you not inform me?” They
said, “His story was so and so (i.e. regarded him as insignificant).” He said, “Show me his grave.” He
