حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ: نَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى: نَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ:
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اخْتَلَفُوا، فَقَالُوا: نَسْتَخِيرُ رَبَّنَا، نُرْسِلُ إِلَى اللَّاحِدِ وَإِلَى الضَّارِجِ، فَأَيُّهُمَا سَبَقَ تَرَكْنَا، فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِمَا، فَسَبَقَ صَاحِبُ اللَّحْدِ، فَلَحَدُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ died, they differed. They said: “Let us seek guidance from our Lord; let us send for the one who digs a lahd [side niche] and the one who digs a darih [central trench]. Whichever of them arrives first, we will use.” So they sent for both, and the lahd-digger arrived first, so they made a lahd for the Messenger of God ﷺ.
