أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، يَقُولُ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ تَقْصِيصِ الْقُبُورِ، أَوْ يُبْنَى عَلَيْهَا، أَوْ يَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ .
"The Messenger of Allah forbade plastering over graves, building over them or sitting on them."
