Aisha's Will for Burial

SUMMARY: Aisha made a will to Abdullah bin Zubair that she should not be buried near the Prophet and his two companions, as she did not want to be seen as better than she really was.

Aisha narrated that she made a will to 'Abdullah bin Zubair, "Do not bury me with them (the Prophet and his two companions) but bury me with my companions (wives of the Prophet (pbuh) ) in Al-Baqi as I would not like to be looked upon as better than I really am (by being buried near the Prophet)".
وَعَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا أَوْصَتْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ لاَ تَدْفِنِّي مَعَهُمْ وَادْفِنِّي مَعَ صَوَاحِبِي بِالْبَقِيعِ، لاَ أُزَكَّى بِهِ أَبَدًا‏.‏
