2032. Thumâmah bin Shufa narrated: "We were with Faḍâlah bin 'Ubaid in the land of the Romans, and a companion of ours died. Faḍâlah ordered that his grave be made level, then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanding that it be made level.'" (Sahîh)
2030 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ ثُمَامَةَ بْنَ شُفَيٍّ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ، فَتُوُفِّيَ صَاحِبٌ لَنَا فَأَمَرَ فَضَالَةُ بِقَبْرِهِ فَسُوِّيَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ بِتَسْوِيَتِهَا»

The meaning of the Hadīth is not that the grave be completely leveled to the ground, because it would thus become impossible to distinguish between a grave and the ground which is not a grave.
