1045. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Lahd is for us and the hole is for other than us." (Ḍa'if) There are narrations on this topic from Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh, 'Aishah, Ibn 'Umar, and Jābir. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Ḥasan Gharīb Ḥadīth from this route.
١٠٤٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَنَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِيُّ وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا حَكَّامُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّحْدُ لَنَا وَالشَّقُّ لِغَيْرِنَا». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَعَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَجَابِرٍ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

"Lahd" means a niche hole dug in the side wall of a grave for the purpose of placing the deceased in it. While making a sideways niche in the grave, it is to be made sure that when the deceased is placed in deceased it the face is facing Qiblah. "Shaqq" means a hole made in the earth for burial. It is clear from this narration that making a grave with a Lahd is better for Muslims, but it is only possible when the soil is good enough to make a Lahd in it. It is not possible to make a Lahd in sandy soil.
