1767.
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade that the graves should
be plastered (made into permanent structures), used as sitting places (for the people) or building over them.
[Muslim].
Commentary:
We learn the following points from this Hadith:
1. The construction of permanent graves is sheer extravagance because they do not benefit the dead. This act is
`disliked' and reaches the level of prohibition when graves are ornamented and embellished.
2. Sitting on the graves is a disliked act, as has been made clear in the previous Hadith.
3. It is such a respect for the dead which inclines people to Shirk. Construction of dome etc., over the graves have
also the same effect.
