Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

33
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُدْفَنَ، بِالْبَقِيعِ لأَنْ أُدْفَنَ بِغَيْرِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُدْفَنَ بِهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَحَدُ رَجُلَيْنِ إِمَّا ظَالِمٌ فَلاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُدْفَنَ مَعَهُ وَإِمَّا صَالِحٌ فَلاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُنْبَشَ لِي عِظَامُهُ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that hisfather said, "I would not want to be buried in al-Baqi. I would preferto be buried elsewhere. The one who is buried in al-Baqi is one of twopeople. Either he is unjust (dhalim), and I would not like to beburied with him, or he is salih, and I would not like his bones to bedisturbed for me."
