The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died on a Monday and was buried on a Tuesday. The people prayed over him individually, with no one leading them.Some people said, "Let him be buried beside the pulpit."Others said, "Let him be buried at Baqi."Then Abu Bakr Siddiq came and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No prophet has ever been buried except in the very place where he died.'"So a grave was dug for him there. When it came time to wash him, they wanted to remove his shirt, but they heard a voice saying, "Do not remove the shirt." So the shirt was not removed, and he ﷺ was washed while still wearing it.
حدثني يحيى
أن رسول الله ﷺ توفي يوم الاثنين، ودفن يوم الثلاثاء. وصلى الناس عليه أفذاذا، لا يؤمهم أحد. فقال ناس: يدفن عند المنبر، وقال آخرون: يدفن بالبقيع. فجاء أبو بكر الصديق، فقال: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: ما دفن نبي قط إلا في مكانه الذي توفي فيه، فحفر له فيه. فلما كان عند غسله، أرادوا نزع قميصه، فسمعوا صوتا يقول: لا تنزعوا القميص، فلم ينزع القميص، وغسل، وهو عليه ﷺ.
