1052. Jābir narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited plastering graves, writing on them, building over them, and treading on them.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ, it has been reported through other routes from Jābir. Some of the people of knowledge, among them Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī, permitted covering it with clay. Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “There is no harm if the grave is covered with clay.”
١٠٥٢ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْبَصْرِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُجَصَّصَ الْقُبُورُ» وَأَنْ يُكْتَبَ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَنْ يُبْنَى عَلَيْهَا، (١) وَأَنْ تُوطَأَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ - مِنْهُمُ الْحَسَنُ الْبَصْرِيُّ - فِي تَطْيِينِ الْقُبُورِ. وَقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُطَيَّنَ الْقَبْرُ.
