حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ فُقَهَاءِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ:
كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلَانِ يَحْفِرَانِ الْقُبُورَ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَشُقُّ وَالْآخَرُ يَلْحَدُ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالُوا: أَيُّهُمَا طَلَعَ فَمُرُوهُ فَلْيَعْمَلْ [١]بِعَمَلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُ، فَطَلَعَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْحَدُ، فَأَمَرُوهُ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

There were two men in Madinah who dug graves. He said: One of them would dig a shaq and the other would dig a lahd. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, they said: "Whichever of them comes first, tell him to do the work he used to do." The one who used to dig a lahd came, so they told him, and he dug a lahd for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
