1561 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ نُبَيْطٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَعْلَمَ قَبْرَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ بِصَخْرَةٍ»

Commentary
Placing a stone near the head is enough of a sign to give an indication of a grave, so that one does not walk on the grave and that it not be dug when digging a grave for another deceased. Writing something on the stone placed for recognition, placing a headstone with writing, stone monuments and memorial marks are forbidden. It will be mentioned in Hadith 1563.
