I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, when we set out with him to Taif and passed by a grave, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is the grave of Abu Righal. He used to live in this sacred sanctuary, which protected him from harm. But when he left it, the same punishment that struck his people overtook him in this spot, and he was buried here. The sign of this is that a branch of gold was buried with him. If you dig him up, you will find it with him."So the people rushed to the grave and extracted the branch.
حدثنا يحيى بن معين حدثنا وهب بن جرير حدثنا أبي سمعت محمد بن إسحق يحدث عن إسمعيل بن أمية عن بجير بن أبي بجير قال سمعت
سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول حين خرجنا معه إلى الطائف فمررنا بقبر فقال رسول الله ﷺ هذا قبر أبي رغال وكان بهذا الحرم يدفع عنه فلما خرج أصابته النقمة التي أصابت قومه بهذا المكان فدفن فيه وآية ذلك أنه دفن معه غصن من ذهب إن أنتم نبشتم عنه أصبتموه معه فابتدره الناس فاستخرجوا الغصن
