Musnad Ahmad 27 (Book 1, Hadith 27) #33725
Burial of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not buried until Abu Bakr reminded the Companions of the Prophet's saying that a Prophet should be buried where he died.

Ibn Juraij said: My father told me that the Companions of the Prophet did not know where to bury the Prophet until Abu Bakr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'A Prophet is not to be buried except where he died". So they removed his bed and dug a grave for him beneath
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ، لَمْ يَدْرُوا أَيْنَ يَقْبُرُونَ النَّبِيَّ حَتَّى قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَنْ يُقْبَرَ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا حَيْثُ يَمُوتُ فَأَخَّرُوا فِرَاشَهُ وَحَفَرُوا لَهُ تَحْتَ فِرَاشِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were unsure about where to bury him after his death. Abu Bakr then reminded them of what they heard from the Messenger himself, that a prophet should be buried in the place he died. So they removed his bed and dug a grave for him beneath it. This hadith teaches us to remember and follow what we have been taught by our beloved prophet, even in difficult times like this one. It also teaches us to respect and honour our prophets, as well as those who have passed away before us. We must always remember their teachings and strive to live by them in our daily lives.
