Bahz reported that he witnessed the funeral prayer over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The people asked, "How shall we pray over him?"The reply came, "Enter in groups, one after another."So they entered through one door, prayed over him, and went out through another door.When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was placed in his grave niche, Mughira said, "Something of his feet remains, they have not arranged it properly."They said, "Then go in and arrange it."So he entered, reached in his hand, and touched his feet. Then he said, "Pour the earth over me."They poured earth over him until it reached the middle of his shins, then he came out. He used to say, "I am the most recent of you in contact with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
حدثنا بهز وأبو كامل قالا ثنا حماد بن سلمة عن أبي عمران يعني الجوني
بهز إنه شهد الصلاة على رسول الله ﷺ قالوا كيف نصلي عليه قال ادخلوا أرسالا أرسالا قال فكانوا يدخلون من هذا الباب فيصلون عليه ثم يخرجون من الباب الآخر قال فلما وضع في لحده ﷺ قال المغيرة قد بقي من رجليه شيء لم يصلحوه قالوا فادخل فأصلحه فدخل وأدخل يده فمس قدميه فقال أهيلوا علي التراب فأهالوا عليه التراب حتى بلغ أنصاف ساقيه ثم خرج فكان يقول أنا أحدثكم عهدا برسول الله ﷺ
