حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْکٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ دَخَلَتْ عَلَی عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّهْ اکْشِفِي لِي عَنْ قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَاحِبَيْهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَکَشَفَتْ لِي عَنْ ثَلَاثَةِ قُبُورٍ لَا مُشْرِفَةٍ وَلَا لَاطِئَةٍ مَبْطُوحَةٍ بِبَطْحَائِ الْعَرْصَةِ الْحَمْرَائِ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ يُقَالُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقَدَّمٌ وَأَبُو بَکْرٍ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَعُمَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ رَأْسُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3220
Narrated Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr: I said to Aishah! Mother, show me the grave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his two Companions (Allah be pleased with them). She showed me three graves which were neither high nor low, but were spread with soft red pebbles in an open space. Abu Ali said: It is said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is forward, Abu Bakr is near his hed and Umar is near is feet. His head is at the feet of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
