Sunan Ibn Majah 1558
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ شَبَّةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ طُفَيْلٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ الْقُرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي اللَّحْدِ وَالشَّقِّ حَتَّى تَكَلَّمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ وَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ . فَقَالَ: عُمَرُ لاَ تَصْخَبُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَيًّا وَلاَ مَيِّتًا أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا . فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى الشَّقَّاقِ وَاللاَّحِدِ جَمِيعًا فَجَاءَ اللاَّحِدُ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ثُمَّ دُفِنَ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .

Umar ibn Shabbah ibn Ubaydah ibn Zayd narrated to us; Ubayd ibn Tufayl al-Muqri’ narrated to us; Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Mulaykah al-Qurashi narrated to us; Ibn Abi Mulaykah narrated to us, from Aishah, who said: ‘When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) died, they disagreed over whether to make a side niche or a straight trench in the grave. They discussed it and raised their voices. Umar said, “Do not raise your voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, living or dead”—or words to that effect. They sent for both the side-niche digger and the trench digger. The side-niche digger came and made a niche grave for the Messenger of Allah, then he was buried.’
