Musnad Ahmad 889 (Book 5, Hadith 318) #34544
Leveling Graves and Destroying Idols

SUMMARY: Ali (RA) was instructed by the Prophet (SAW) to level every grave and destroy every idol.

It was narrated from Jareer bin Hayyan, from his father, that ’Ali (رضي الله عنه) said to his father I shall certainly send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me: level every grave and destroy every idol.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ لَأَبْعَثَنَّكَ فِيمَا بَعَثَنِي فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ أُسَوِّيَ كُلَّ قَبْرٍ وَأَنْ أَطْمِسَ كُلَّ صَنَمٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a mission given to Ali ibn Abi Talib by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The mission was to level every grave and destroy every idol. This is an important teaching in Islam as it emphasizes that we should not worship anyone or anything other than Allah SWT. We should also not build structures over graves or make them into places of worship as this is considered shirk, which is one of the biggest sins in Islam. It also teaches us that we should respect all graves regardless of who they belong to and not build anything on top of them or use them for any purpose other than burying people who have passed away.
