حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَلْحَدُ وَآخَرُ يَضْرَحُ. فَقَالُوا: نَسْتَخِيرُ رَبَّنَا وَنَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمَا فَأَيُّهُمَا سَبَقَ تَرَكْنَاهُ . فَأُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَسَبَقَ صَاحِبُ اللَّحْدِ. فَلَحَدُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .

Narrator: Anas bin Malik

English translation
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “When the Prophet (ﷺ) died, there was a man in Al-Madinah who used to make a niche in the grave and another who used to dig graves without a niche. They said: ‘Let us pray Istikharah to our Lord and call for them both, and whichever of them comes first, we will let him do it.’ So they were both sent for, and the one who used to make the niche-grave came first, so they made a niche-grave for the Prophet (ﷺ).”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যখন ইনতিকাল করেন তখন মদিনা্য় এক ব্যক্তি লাহ্দ কবর খনন করতো এবং অপর ব্যক্তি শাক্ক কবর খনন করতো। সাহাবীগণ বলেন, আমরা আমাদের প্রভুর নিকটে ইস্তিখারা করবো এবং তাদের উভয়ের কাছে সংবাদ পাঠাবো। তাদের মধ্যে যে আগে আসবে (তাকে রাখবো) এবং অন্যজনকে বাদ দিবো। অতএব তাদের দু’জনকেই ডেকে পাঠানো হলো এবং লাহ্দ কবর খননকারী আগে পৌঁছে গেলো। অতএব সাহাবীগণ রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর জন্য লাহ্দ কবর খনন করেন।
