3219. Abū ‘Ali Al-Hamdānī said: “We were with Faḍālah bin ‘Ubaid in Rūdhīs (Rhodes), in the land of the Byzantines, and a companion of ours died. Faḍālah ordered that his grave be leveled, then he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ enjoining that they be leveled.’” (Sahīh) Abū Dāwūd said: Rudhis is an island in the sea.
3219 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ بِرُودِسَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الرُّومِ، فَتُوُفِّيَ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا، فَأَمَرَ فَضَالَةُ بِقَبْرِهِ فَسُوِّيَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَأْمُرُ بِتَسْوِيَتِهَا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «رُودِسُ جَزِيرَةٌ فِي الْبَحْرِ»
