English translation
1047. Ja'far bin Muḥammad narrated that his father said: "The one who made the Lahd in the grave of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was Abū Ṭalḥah. And the one who placed the velvet cloth under him was Shuqrān a freed slave of Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." (Hasan) Ja'far said: "(Ubaidullāh) Ibn Abī Rāfi' informed me, he said: 'I heard Shuqrān saying: "By Allāh! It was I who placed the velvet under the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in the grave."' He said: There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Shuqrān is a Hasan Gharīb Hadīth. 'Alī bin Al-Madīnī (also) reported this Hadīth from 'Uthmān bin Farqad.
