1049. Abū Wā'il narrated: "‘Alī said to Abū Al-Hayyāj Al-Asādī: ‘I am dispatching you with what the Prophet ﷺ dispatched me: “That you not leave an elevated grave without leveling it, nor an image without erasing it.” (Saḥīh)
There is something about this from Jābir.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Alī is a Ḥasan Hadīth. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They consider it disliked for a grave to be raised above the ground.
Ash-Shāfi'ī said: "It is disliked to elevate a grave more than the
extent by which it may be known that it is a grave, and it may not be tread on or sat on.”

Commentary
The height of the grave should only be to the limit by which it could be assumed that this is a grave. Usually its height is one hand-span.
