Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died on Monday and was buried on Tuesday and people prayed over him individually with no one leading them. Some people said that he would be buried near the mimbar, and others said that he would be buried in al-Baqi. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq came and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No prophet was ever buried except in the place where he died.' "So a grave was dug for him there. When he was about to be washed they wished to take off his shirt but they heard a voice saying "Don't take off his shirt," so they did not take off his shirt and he was washed with it on, may Allah bless him and grant him peace

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، انه بلغه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم توفي يوم الاثنين ودفن يوم الثلاثاء وصلى الناس عليه افذاذا لا يومهم احد . فقال ناس يدفن عند المنبر . وقال اخرون يدفن بالبقيع . فجاء ابو بكر الصديق فقال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " ما دفن نبي قط الا في مكانه الذي توفي فيه " . فحفر له فيه فلما كان عند غسله ارادوا نزع قميصه فسمعوا صوتا يقول لا تنزعوا القميص فلم ينزع القميص وغسل وهو عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم
