Abdullah bin Abbas reported,

When they wanted to dig the grave for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they sent for Abu Ubayda bin Jarra, who used to dig graves in the manner of the people of Mecca with a side niche, and they also sent for Abu Talha, who was the one who dug graves for the people of Medina and made a lahd. They sent two messengers to them, saying, "Allah, choose for Your Messenger." They found Abu Talha and brought him, but Abu Ubayda was not found, so a lahd was made for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.When they finished preparing his body on Tuesday, he was placed on his bed inside his house. Then the people entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in groups, praying over him. Once the men finished, the women were admitted, and after them the children. No one led the people in the funeral prayer over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.The Muslims differed about the place where he should be buried.Some said, "He should be buried in his mosque."Others said, "He should be buried with his companions."Then Abu Bakr said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No prophet has ever died except that he is buried where he died.'"So they lifted the bedding of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on which he had passed away and dug his grave beneath it. He ﷺ was buried in the middle of the night, on the eve of Wednesday. The ones who descended into his grave were Ali bin Abu Talib, Fadl bin Abbas, his brother Qutham, and Shaqran, the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.Aws bin Khawli, who was Abu Layla, said to Ali bin Abu Talib, "I implore you by Allah, give us our share of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Ali said to him, "Come down."Shaqran, his freedman, had taken a velvet cloak that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wear and buried it in the grave, saying, "By Allah, no one shall ever wear it after you." So it was buried with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

عن ابن عباس قال

لما أرادوا أن يحفروا لرسول الله ﷺ بعثوا إلى أبي عبيدة بن الجراح وكان يضرح كضريح أهل مكة وبعثوا إلى أبي طلحة وكان هو الذي يحفر لأهل المدينة وكان يلحد فبعثوا إليهما رسولين وقالوا اللهم خر لرسولك فوجدوا أبا طلحة فجيء به ولم يوجد أبو عبيدة فلحد لرسول الله ﷺ قال فلما فرغوا من جهازه يوم الثلاثاء وضع على سريره في بيته ثم دخل الناس على رسول الله ﷺ أرسالا يصلون عليه حتى إذا فرغوا أدخلوا النساء حتى إذا فرغوا أدخلوا الصبيان ولم يؤم الناس على رسول الله ﷺ أحد لقد اختلف المسلمون في المكان الذي يحفر له فقال قائلون يدفن في مسجده وقال قائلون يدفن مع أصحابه فقال أبو بكر إني سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول ما قبض نبي إلا دفن حيث يقبض قال فرفعوا فراش رسول الله ﷺ الذي توفي عليه فحفروا له ثم دفن ﷺ وسط الليل من ليلة الأربعاء ونزل في حفرته علي بن أبي طالب والفضل بن العباس وقثم أخوه وشقران مولى رسول الله ﷺ وقال أوس بن خولي وهو أبو ليلى لعلي بن أبي طالب أنشدك الله وحظنا من رسول الله ﷺ قال له علي انزل وكان شقران مولاه أخذ قطيفة كان رسول الله ﷺ يلبسها فدفنها في القبر وقال والله لا يلبسها أحد بعدك أبدا فدفنت مع رسول الله ﷺ
