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