Arabic hadith text

وَعَن جَابر قَالَ: رُشَّ قَبْرُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ الَّذِي رَشَّ الْمَاءَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ بِلَالُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ بِقِرْبَةٍ بَدَأَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى رِجْلَيْهِ. رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ. فِي دَلَائِل النُّبُوَّة

Translation

Jabir reported: The grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sprinkled with water. Bilal ibn Rabah was the one who sprinkled water over his grave from a waterskin. He began at the head and continued to the feet. Al-Bayhaqi transmitted it in Dala’il al-Nubuwwa.
