عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا يَلْحَدُ وَالْآخَرُ لَا يَلْحَدُ. فَقَالُوا: أَيُّهُمَا جَاءَ أَوَّلًا عَمِلَ عَمَلَهُ. فَجَاءَ الَّذِي يَلْحَدُ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. رَوَاهُ فِي شَرْحِ السّنة

Translation

Urwa ibn al-Zubayr reported: In Medina there were two men, one who made a side niche in the grave and another who did not. They said, ‘Whichever of the two comes first may do his customary work.’ The man who made a side niche came and made one for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. It is reported in Sharh al-Sunnah.
