Chapter 96 Making The Grave Larger
باب الزِّيَادَةِ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ ‏‏

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade building over graves, making them larger or plastering over them." (One of two narrators) Sulaiman bin Musa added: "Or writing on them."

أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ ‏:‏ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُبْنَى عَلَى الْقَبْرِ، أَوْ يُزَادَ عَلَيْهِ، أَوْ يُجَصَّصَ ‏.‏ زَادَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى ‏:‏ أَوْ يُكْتَبَ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏
