Arabic text

2028 - أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ تَقْصِيصِ الْقُبُورِ، أَوْ يُبْنَى عَلَيْهَا، أَوْ يَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ»

Commentary

"It is forbidden to sit upon a grave" because it is the desecration of the occupant of the grave, or it may have been prohibited to sit by the grave mournfully, or it may denote staying there like the grave's neighbour.
