The issue of elevating and plastering

the graves of Awliya
 PROOF THAT RASOOLALLAH :.-
MARKED A GRAVE HIGH

NARRATED AL-MUTTALIB: WHEN UTHMAN IBN MAZ'UN DIED,

HE WAS BROUGHT OUT ON HIS BIER AND BURIED. THE
PROPHET (~ ) ORDERED A MAN TO BRING HIM A STONE, BUT
HE WAS UNABLE TO CARRY IT. THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH
(~ ) GOT UP AND GOING OVER TO IT ROLLED UP HIS SLEEVES.
THE NARRATOR KATHIR TOLD THAT AL- MUTTALIB
REMARKED: THE ONE WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THE MESSENGER
OF ALLAH(~ ) SAID: I STILL SEEM TO SEE THE WHITENESS OF
THE FOREARMS OF THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (~ ) WHEN HE
ROLLED UP HIS SLEEVES. HE THEN CARRIED IT AND PLACED IT
AT HIS HEAD SAVING: I AM MARKING MY BROTHER'S GRAVE
WITH IT, AND I SHALL BURY BESIDE HIM THOSE OIF MY FAMILY
WHO DIE.

[SUNAN ABI DAWUD 3206, MISHKAT AL-MASABIH 1711,

MUSANNAF IBN ABI SHAIBA 11862, BAIHAQl,SUNAN AL
KUBRA 6535)

FROM THIS HADITH ,WE CAN SEE THAT PROPHET(PEACE BE

UPON HIM) DIDN'T LEVEL THE GRAVE OF HIS COMPANION
UTHMAN BIN MAZUN BUT RATHER HE MARKED HIS GRAVE
WITH A HUGE STONE.
 3/ 10
NOW WE SHALL SEE FROM SAHIH BUKHARI HOW HIGH UTHMAN BIN
MAZUN' S GRAVE WAS MADE.

HADRATH KHARIJA BIN ZAYD (MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM} STATES,"
WE WERE PRESENT IN THE TIME OF UTHMAN BIN AFFAN (MAY ALLAH BE
PLEASED WITH HIM} ,IN OUR CHILDHOOD THE MOST SUCCESSFUL JUMPER
FROM US WAS THE PERSON WHO WAS ABLE TO LEAP ACROSS THE GRAVE OF
UTHMAN BIN MAZUN(MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM} ".
UTHMAN BIN HAKEEM SAYS ,KHARIJA BIN ZA YD HELD MY HAND AND MADE
ME SIT ON THE GRAVE AND HE NARRATED ME ON THE AUTHORITY OF HIS
UNCLE YAZID BIN THABIT THAT ,IT IS DISLIKED (MAKROOH} TO SIT AND
URINATE ON THE GRAVE,OTHERWISE NAFEA SAID ,IBN UMAR(MAY ALLAH BE
PLEASED WITH HIM} USED TO SIT ON THE GRAVES.

[SAHIH BUKHARl,VOLUME :01,KITAB AL JANAIZ,CHAPTER 864:BAAB JAREED

ALAQABR]

POINTS TO BE NOTED FROM THESE 2 AHADITH:

1.GRAVES ARE NOT TO BE LEVELLED TO GROUND,BECAUSE PROPHET(PEACE

BE UPON HIM} MARKED THE GRAVE OF HIS COMPANION WITH A HUGE
STONE.

2.THE GRAVE WAS SO HIGH THAT THE CHILDREN MADE IT AS A REFERENCE

TO MEASURE HIGHEST JUMP(LEAP).

3.UTHMAN BIN HAKEEM AND IBN UMAR SAT ON THE GRAVE.IF THE GRAVE
WAS LEVELLED TO GROUND THEN IT MAKES NO SENSE TO SAY " SAT ON
GRAVE" .HOW CAN SOMEONE SIT ON A GRAVE IF IT IS LEVELLED TO GROUND
? AND IF THE GRAVE WAS FLAT,LEVELLED TO GROUND THEN WHY SOMEONE
NEED TO SIT ON GRAVE ,LEAVING WHOLE GROUND AND LEVELLED EARTH?

MARKING GRAVES HIGH

NARRATED ABU BAKR BIN ' AIYASH: SUFYAN AT-TAMMAR TOLD ME

THAT HE HAD SEEN THE GRAVE OF THE PROPHET(~ ) ELEVATED AND
CONVEX.

[SAHIH AL-BUKHARI 13908)

JA°FAR B. MUHAMMAD TOLD IN MURSAL FORM ON HIS FATHER'S

AUTHORITY TI-IIAT THE PROPHET CAST THREE HANDFULS OF EARTH ON
THE DEAD WITH BOTH HANDS, THAT HE SPRINKLED WATER ON HIS SON
IBRAHIM' S GRAVE, AND THAT HE PUT SMALL PEBBLES ON IT.

[MISHKAT AL- MASABIH 1708)

AL- QASIM B. MUHAMMAD TOLD OF HIS GOING TO VISIT 'A' ISHA AND
SA YING, " MOTHER, SHOW ME THE GRAVE OF THE PROPHET AND HIS
TWO COMPANIONS." SHE SHOWED HIM THREE GRAVES WHICH WERE
NEITHER HIGH NOR LOW, BUT WERE SPREAD OVER WITH SOFT RED
PEBBLES IN AN OPEN SPACE.

[SUNAN ABI DAWUD 3220, MISHKAT AL- MASABIH 1712)

IMAM NAWAWI GRADED IT SAHIH IN AL MAJMU SHARAH AL

MUHADHAB.

NOTE:THE WORD " NOR LOW"' CLEARLY SIGNIFIES THAT THIE GRAVES
WERE NOT LEVELLED TO GROUND AND IT REFUTES EXTREMISTS WHO
BELIEVE THAT GRAVES SHOULD BE LEVELLED TO GROUND.

THEN THE EARTH SHOULD BE HEAPED ON TOP OF THE CORPSE. THE GRAVE SHOULD BE RAISED ABOVE

PEBBLES SHOULD BE PLACED UPON IT. IF IT IS COATED WITH CLAY, THIS IS PERMISSIBLE, BUT THE
APPLICATION OF WHITEWASH IS SUBJECT TO DISAPPROVAL IT IS CUSTOMARY TO GIVE A HUMPED
SHAPE TO THE SURFACE OF THE GRAVE, RATHER THAN TO MAKE IT FLAT, BECAUSE AL-HASAN [AL-
BA~RI] (MAY AltAH BESTOW HIS MERCY UPON HIM) IS REPORTED AS HAVING SAID: "I NOTICED
THAT THE GRAVE OF THE PROPHET (ALLAH BLESS HIM ANO GIVE HIM PEACE) WAS HUMPED IN

ANSWERING OBJECTION

JABIR SAID: ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM)

FORBADE THAT THE GRAVES SHOULD BE PLASTERED OR THEY BE
USED AS SITTI.N G PLACES (FOR THE PEOPLE), OR A BUILDING SHOULD
BE BUILT OVER THEM. [SAHIH MUSLIM]

TO THIS WE RESPOND, WE HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS PERMITTED TO USE MATERIAL

OTHER THAN GYPSUM( PLASTER) SUCH AS STONES, CLAY AND GRAVEL.
FURTHERMORE, OTHER MATERIALS WERE EVEN ALLOWED, SUCH A S IMAM NAWAWI
PERMITTING THE USAGE OF BURNT BRICKS[RAWDAH II P. 136] AND EVEN THE USAGE
OF CANE OR REED BEING PREFERRED TO WOOD.[ABU YU SUF IN A THAR 398(PG. 80)
AND 4 2 5(PG 84); IBN ABI SHAYBAH IN MUSNAD Ill P.219; IBN QUDAMAH IN MUGHNI II
PP.5 0 3 & 507 AND UMDAH P.121; IBN MUFTIH IN FURU II P. 270]

MOREOVER, THERE IS NO MENTION IN THIS NARRATION WHETHER IT IS A REFERENCE

TO PROHIBITING THE USAGE OF G YPSUM INSIDE THE GRAVE OR OUTSIOE TH E GRAVE.
CONJECTURE C ANNOT BE A PROOF.

THIRDLY, THE PROHIBITION OF GYPSUM COULD BE BECAUSE OF TH E HARMFUL

NATURE OF THIS SPECIFIC MATERIAL, AS THE SCHOLARS EXPLAINED. ZAIN AD- DIN
Al- lRAQl( D. 806 H) SAID: " SOMEONE FROM AMONG THE LEARNED MENTIONED THAT
THE RATIONAL PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE PROHIBITION OF WHITENING OF TOMBS WAS
THE FACT THAT GYPSUM WAS VERY INFLAMMABLE. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO HARM
IN USING CLAY INSTEAD, AS SET DOWN BY AL - SHAFI" [ SUYUTI IN ZAHR AR - RUBA
ALA l-MUGTABA IV P. 71; SAMHUDI IN WAFA UL WAFA, AHKAM Al JANAIZ P. 266].
SUPPORTING THIS IS WHAT THE SAHABI, ZAYD BIN AKRAM, SAID WHEN HIS SON WAS
BEING BURIED: " NOTHING MUST BE IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS BEEN
TOUC HED BY FIRE'' [IBN ABI SHAYBA IN MUSNAD Ill P.218; IBN QUDAMAH IN MUGHNI
II P.503 AND UMDAH P.121; IBN MUFLIH IN FURU II P.270; ].

ANOTHER ANSWER
IMAM AT- TIRMIDHI AFTER NARRATING THE HADITH OF •NOT PLASTERING, NOR
WRITING, OR SITTING ON GRAVES" SAYS:

~ ioJ.wl J.o,i ..,.,.... v<»J .l.99 >'~ <>L cbg ~ I>" ..S9J .19 .. ~ ~. b Ia ..,...~ ll-'i
~• ~ .:,i ._,.,~ ll .,..a9i:._.,1 Jl99 J~I · __ - ~ ~~I · I

TRANSLATION: TH IS HADITH IS HASAN SAHIH AND IT IS NARRATED WITH DIFFERENT

ROUTES FROM HAORAT JABIR (RA). SOME SCHOLARS HAVE GIVEN ""PERMISSION"' TO
PLASTER THE GRAVES WITH (WET) MUD, THIS INCLUDES IMAM HASAN Al- BASRI
(AMEER UL MOMINEEN Fil HADITH). IMAM ASH - SHAFI'! SAID: THERE IS NO HARM IN
PLASTERING THE GRAVE WITH WET MUD. [SUNNAN TIRMIDHI UNDER THE HADITH OF
NOT PLASTERING GRAVES, HADITH # 1052)

WAHABIS WOULD STILL TRY TO FINO EXCUSE THAT IMAM AT·TIRMIOHI PROVED
PLASTERING WITH WET MUD NOT WITH CEMENT, SO THE ANSWER REGARDING THIS
COMES FROM IMAM Al-HAKIM (RAH) WHO ALSO STATES AFTER NARRATING HADITH
OF NOT PLASTERING, BUILDING, AND SITTING UPON GRAVES:

...,.1£ ..,., ,.s.o ..,.,>Al1._,,11 .g,.:.JI .,.., · _ 1a..;i .:, ~ ~ JAaJ 1~ 9 ..,

TRANSLATION: THESE ASANEED ARE SAHIH ..BUT THIS IS NOT ACTED UPON BY
SCHOLARS OF MU SLIMS FROM EAST TO THE WEST. WRITING OVER GRAVES IS A
PRACTICE WHICH THE LATTER PEOPLE TOOK FROM THE SALAF"' [MUSTADRAK Al
HAKIM ( 1/370, HAIDITH # 1370))

SO THE PRACTICE OF SO MANY GREAT SCHOLARS PROVES THAT THESE HADITHS ARE
NOT AS WAHABIS UNDERSTAND THEM, NOW REMEMBER THESE GREAT SCHOLARS
KNEW HADITHS BETTER THAN WAHABI IMAGINATIONS.

•Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians, for
they built the places of worship at the graves
of their prophets." And if that had not been the
case, then the Prophet's grave would have
been made prominen·t before the people. So
(the Prophet (~ ) ) was afraid, or the people

Explanation of Misbah AI -Sunnah" explains the narration
that curses t lh ose who take graves as " masajid"' :

mentioning that the prohibition i s with regard s to

pros trating towards graves out of veneration and taking it
as qibla for prayer, while in case of one taking a masjid in
the vicinity of a righteou s person. and prays at his tomb.
with intention of remembering his soul....... without
veneration or facing it. then there i s nothing wrong, and
cites example of tne grave of Prophet Ismail (A.S) wnicn is at
Masjid al-Haram. And further clarifies that the prohibition
of praying at graveyards i s related to impurity.

Imam lbn Hajr al-Asqalani (862H): in hi s renowned

commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari. quotes Imam al-Baydawi's
explanation of the narration that prohibits taking graves as
masajid,

Al Baydawi s aid. " Because the Jews and Chris tians would
pros trate towards the graves of the Prophets out of
veneration of them. and make them (their graves) a Qibla
towards which they face in their s alat. and took the m as
idols. he (as ws) curs ed them and forbade the Mus lims from
s uch acts . A s for the one who takes a place of wors hip
(masjid) in th,e vicinity (jiwar) of a righteous s ervant. and by
that intend s to gain blessings (tab a rruk) from proximity to
him , and not veneration of him. nor directly facing him. then
this does not enter under the warning and curse in thi s
hadith."
Imam suyuti (d . 911H): in his commentary of sunan Nas ai
explains the narration that curs e s thos e who take graves
as .. masajid" by quoting the explanation given by Imam al-
Baydawi:

when the Jews and Christians used to pros trate to the

graves of their prophets out of respect for their status and
make it the qibla they turned to in prayer.
The like and they took them as idols. they were cursed and
the Mus lims were forbidden from doing that. As for
whoever build s a mosque in the vicinity of Salih and intends
to seek bless ing from the Qur·an. Because of him . neither
glorifying him nor directing towards him. s o he is not
included in that threat.
Imam a1-Qasta111ani (d . 923H):

in his work 9 , ~ 1 _ ~;,.W 9 , L,.,,.iJI ~1....i,1 which is a commentary on

Sahih a1-Bukari. when explaining the narration of the wives of the
Prophet d escribing what they had seen of the Church in Abyssinia

if a masjid wa s built in the vicinity of righteou s p e r son , seeking

tabaruk near it. and not vene ration or facing it, then it does not
fall In the prohibition m e ntioned in the hadith.

and elsewhere the Imam quotes in explanation of tne same hadith.

from the Shafi jurist Imam Allu All al-BandaniJI (ct.426HI:

Now the Takfeeri wahabi khawarij psuedo
salafis must prove that whether we Sunni
muslims have taken the blessed grave of
Prophet as a qibla to read prayer (namaaz)
towards it or any other grave of the pious
awliya as a qibla ??? By Allah! They cannot
prove this point as no muslim •c an even
imagine such kind of a thing!

The angels prostrated to Adam Alayhisalam

due to respect (Quran 2:34) and Prophet
vaqub Alayhisalam (Father of Prophet vusuf
Alayhisalam) prostrated to his son due to
respect (Quran 12:100)! Prostration due to
respect isn't shirk in the Shari'ah of the
previous prophets. Hence it cannot be shirk
in the Shari'ah of Prophet as shirk will be
shirk in every Shari'ah of the prophets but it
is haraam (impermissible) to prostrate
towards .a ny other thing besides Allah! [As
mentione1d in: Sunnan Darimi. Volume No. 1.
Page NO. 1:0, Sahih lbn Hibban (4/335)]
thepathofawliya Student of lbn Taymmiyah, Haftdh lbn Kathir writes:
Third Caliph Uthman was martyred at the age of seventy five, As for
the place of his grave, there is no dispute that he was buried - east of
AI-Baqi'- and a great dome was built over his grave during the time of
the Umayyads, and it still remains today. [Al Bidaya wan-nihaya, Vol
10page 344]

Hazrat Imam Sakhawi writes: Qubbah (dome) was built over the holy
graves of Hazrat Hamza Bin Abd-al Muttalib and Hazrat Abdullah Bin
Jash it is visited by muslims and blessings are obtained from it.

He qouted hadees from Sunan al tirmizi

now let's see what imam al tirmizi says
after qouting this hadees

"This hadith is Hasan Sahib and it is

narrated with different routes from Hadrat
Jabir (RA). Some scholars have given
"PERMISSION" to plaster the graves with
(wet) mud, this includes Imam Hasan
al-Basri (Ameer ul Momineen fil Hadith).
Imam ash-Shafi'i said: There is no harm in
plastering the grave with wet mud"

Imam al Hakim says about this hadees

These Asaneed are Sahib "BUT THIS IS NOT
ACTED UPON BY SCHOLARS OF MUSLIMS
FROM EAST TO THE WEST. WRITING
OVER GRAVES IS A PRACTICE WHICH THE
LATTER PEOPLE TOOK FROM THE SALAF"

1370)]1

Muwatta Malik, Book#16, Hadith#lG.10.27

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had
heard that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, died on
Monday and was buried on Tuesday and
people prayed over him individually with no
one leading them. Some people said that he
would be buried near the mimbar, and
others said that he would be buried in
al-Baqi. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq came and said,
"I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No
prophet was ever buried except in the place
where he died.' "So a grave was dug for him
there. When he was about to be washed
they wished to take off his shirt but they
heard a voice saying "Don't take off his
shirt," so they did not take off his shirt and
he was washed with it on, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace.

Prophet ~ was buried inside a 11 ROOM 11

and not In a open ground
If building shrines around the graves of
muslims was haram then sahaba could
have been demolished the room and
then buried the prophet ~

Al-Bukhari narrates in his Sahih, Book of

Jana'iz:I
When ' Umar was stabbed he sent his
son ' Abd Allah with a message to
' A 'isha to" Ask her if I can be buried with
my two companions," that is, in her
room, next to the Prophet and Abu Bakr.
' A'isha replied: "I wanted the spot for
myself, but I shall put him ['Umar]
before me today." It had been her habit
that if a man from among the
Companions asked her that spot she
would always refuse. She herself gave
the following instructions before her
death: "Bury me with my lady-friends
(the wives of the Prophet in al-Baqi')
[but do not bury me with the Prophet in
the house, for I dislike to be held in
reverence lbn ' Umar came back with the
news, whereupon ' Umar said:"NOTHING
IN THE WORLD WAS MORE
IMPORTANT TO ME THAN THAT
RESTING-PLACE. II
Why hazrat Umar wanted to be buried in
a room ( shrine) and not in open ground?
He could have demolished the room if
building around the grave was
prohibited

Whenever I entered the house in which

Prophet (Peace be upon him) and my
father (i.e. Abu Bakr ra) are buried, I
used to take off my sheet (from head)
thinking that it's only my father and
husband (whom I am visiting), however
By Allah! When Umar (ra) got buried
with them, I never went inside without
being fully covered, this is because of
being ashamed of Umar (ra) [Musnad
Ahmed bin Hanbal, Volume No. 6, Page
No. 202, Hadith # 25701]

Even after the burial of Sayyidna Umar

(ra) Sayyidah Aisha (ra) used to cover
from him when visiting his grave. This is
an explicit proof on Aqida of Sahaba
that people of graves get to know about
those who visit them. Look at the clear
wording of hadith i.e. Sayyidah Aisha
(ra) used to cover herself due to "HAYA

Thus did We make their (i.e. Ashaab

al-Kahf) case known to the people, that
they might know that the promise of
Allah is true, and that there can be no
doubt about the Hour of Judgment.
Behold, they dispute among themselves
as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct
a building over them": Their Lord knows
best about them: "THOSE WHO
PREVAILED OVER THEIR AFFAIR SAID:
LET US SURELY BUILD A MOSQUE
OVER THEM" (Surah al-Kahf 18:21)

tmam fakharuddin razi rahimullah says

in his tafsir :-
And when Allah said {Those who
prevailed over their affair} this refers to
the "MUSLIM RULER" or the friends of
Ashaab al Kahf (i.e. believers) or the
leaders of town. {We will surely build a
Mosque over them} so that we can

"PRESERVE THE RELICS OF

Imam mullah Ali qari rahimullah writes

Anyone who builds a mosque near the
grave of an upright person or prays in
the tomb (Maqbara) or intends to ask for
help through the Ruh of that upright
person or intends to seek barakah from
his left overs, If he does all that without
the intention of giving him Tazeem or
doing tawajuh towards him ( in prayer)
"Then there is nothing wrong in that,
don't you see that Grave of Hadrat
lsmail(A.S) is inside the Masjid ul
Harram near the hateem and to Pray
there is Superior than anything else "
however to pray near the graves is only
forbidden when the soil becomes dirty
because of Najasat of deceased ... In the
Hateem near Hajr al Aswad and Mizaab
there are "Graves of 70 Prophets"
