1564 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقَاشِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «نَهَى أَنْ يُبْنَى عَلَى الْقَبْرِ»

Commentary

Building anything over a grave is totally forbidden. The deceased will be sinful if he wanted to build over a grave, and if he wanted his grave to be built with baked bricks, and stones, or desired a building to be built over it.
