Burial Practices of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: Sa'd, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), requested to be buried in a similar manner as the Prophet.

It was narrated from 'Amir bin Sa'd that when Sa'd was dying he said: "Make a niche for me in the side of the grave and set up (bricks) over me as was done for the Messenger of Allah".
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏:‏ أَنَّ سَعْدًا، لَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ ‏:‏ الْحَدُوا لِي لَحْدًا، وَانْصِبُوا عَلَىَّ نَصْبًا كَمَا فُعِلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ

He asked for it to have a niche and for bricks to be set up over him just like how it was done for the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).
