حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلَانِ يَحْفِرَانِ الْقُبُورَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَحْفِرُ لِلْأَنْصَارِ، وَيَلْحَدُ لَهُمْ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ الْعَبَّاسُ رَجُلَيْنِ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ خِرْ لِنَبِيِّكَ، فَوَجَدُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ، فَحَفَرَ لَهُ وَلَحَدَ

✧ In Madinah there were two men who dug graves: Abu Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah dug for the people of Makkah, and Abu Talhah dug for the Ansar and made lahd graves for them. He said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, al-Abbas sent two men to them and said: O Allah, choose for Your Prophet. They found Abu Talhah but did not find Abu Ubaydah, so he dug for him and made a lahd.
