They said, "We do not want its price except from Allah" (i.e. they wished for a reward from Allah for giving up their land freely). So, the Prophet ordered the graves of the pagans to be dug out and the land to be leveled, and the date-palm trees to be cut down. The cut datepalms were fixed in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque.

Hadith-27
Prophet(sallal lahu aliwaslam) said,'If I were to walk on hot coals or on a sword, or if I were to mend my shoes using my feet, that would be better for me than if I were to walk on the grave of a Muslim. And it makes no difference to me if I were to relieve myself in the midst of the graves or in the middle of the market-place [i.e., both are equally bad].’” (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1567)

Hadith-28

[4] Destroy the Graves Commandment of Prophet

Hadith-32
Sahih Muslim Book 4, Number 2115:
Abu'l-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that 'Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to him: Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it.


[5]Why Prophet(sallal lahu aliwasalam) buried in Hujra of Mother Aisha?

Hadith-33
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5963
Narrated by Abu Bakr
When Allah's Messenger (saws) died the people disagreed about his burial, and Abu Bakr said he had heard something from Allah's Messenger. He had said, "Allah takes a Prophet’s life only in the place where he wishes to be buried." So he told them to bury him where his bedding lay.

Hadith-34
Muwatta Imam Malik Book 016, Hadith Number 027.
Section : Burying the Dead.
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.

Hadith-35
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3159
Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah
On the day of Uhud we brought the martyrs to bury them (at another place), but the crier of the Prophet (saws) came and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saws) has commanded you to bury the martyrs at the place where they fell.’ So we took them back.

Why Abu-Bakr(R.A) and Umer(R.A) buried Beside Prophet(Sallal lahu aliwasalam)


Hadith-36
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I saw three moons fall into my room, and I related my vision to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Then, when the Messenger of Allah died, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and was buried in my house, Abu Bakr said to me, 'This is one of your moons, and he is the best of them.' "
(Muwatta Malik, Book*#16, Hadith*#16.10.30)

Hadith-37
Narrated Hisham's father: 'Umar sent a message to 'Aisha, saying, "Will you allow me to be buried with my two companions (the Prophet and Abu Bakr) ?" She said, "Yes, by Allah." though it was her habit that if a man from among the companions (of the Prophet ) sent her a message asking her to allow him to be buried there, she would say, "No, by Allah, I will never give permission to anyone to be buried with them."

Maulana Ahmad Raza Khan Bareilavi’s Fatwa:

“In Muharram and Urs, the gathering, beating of drums, playing Sarangi, singing Qawaali, singing praise of Allah, the Prophet (Pbuh) and saints over musical instruments, is all “Haram,.” (25-26, Ab’Kaam-e-Shariat)

There also is unanimity among all Sunni scholars that taking out Tazia procession, is a Bid’at.

“After the Sunnat and Nafil prayers, on Fridays, the recitation of Fatiha or offering supplication by the Imam in congregation has not been reported anywhere. Hence this practice is avoidable.” (Maulana Ahmad Raza Khan, in “An-Nafaaesul-Maghoobah, P.46)

When I say something contradicting the Book of Allah the Exalted or what is narrated from the Messenger (saaws), then ignore my saying." [Al-Fulaani in Eeqaaz al-Himam (p. 50), tracing it to Imaam Muhammad and then saying, "This does not apply to the mujtahid, for he is not bound to their views anyway, but it applies to the muqallid."]

“Adhere to the Athaar (narrations) and the Tareeqah (way) of the Salaf and beware of newly invented matters, for all of it is innovation.”
[Reported by As-Suyootee in Sawn al-Mantaq Wal -Kalaam, p. 32.]

I said to Abu Haneefah (may Allah have mercy on him), ‘What do you say about the philosophical issues that people have innovated?‘ He said, ‘That is just the words of philosophers. you should adhere to the way of the Salaf,and beware of every newly invented thing, for it is an innovation (bid’ah).“
[ Al-Khateeb in Al-Faqeeh wal-Mutafaqqih.]


Argument of Barelwis

Barelwi usually quote a verse of Quran to proof their Point that Masajid can be constructed on Grave by quoting this verse.

Allah says,''When(the People of the city) disputed of their case among themselves,they said:Build over them a Building;their Lord Knowest best concerning them.Those who won their Point said: we verity shall build a place of Worship over them.(Surah Khaf Ayat-21)

Reply:- We don't follow the Shariyah of Ashab-Khaf,We follow the Shariyah of Muhammad(sallal lahu alihi wasalam),Previously during the time of Adam(A.s) People Used to Marry their own sister now would you follow his Shariyah and marry ur own Sister?

Now let's take a look at Ahadith of Prophet.

Hadith-38
Sahi Muslim Book 4, Number 1083:
Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that.

Comment:-The above Hadith clearly says,''I forbid you to do that.''

Hadith-39
Prophet Peace be upon him said
والذي نفس محمد بيده، لو بدا لكم موسى فاتبعتموه وتركتموني لضللتم عن سواء السبيل، ولو كان حيا وأدرك نبوتي لاتبعني. By the one who has the soul of Muhammad, If Musa comes in front of you and if you follow him and leave me, you will go astray from the Right path. If he (Musa AS) comes back to life and sees (witnesses) the period of my prophet hood, he will certainly follow me.
[Mishqat al Masabih Volume 001 hadeeth no: 194]

Comment:-Even the above Hadith clearly states that we can't follow anyother Prophet's Shariyah.
