(Book 16, Hadith 44) #35615
Grave Digging is Forbidden

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cursed those who dug up graves.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu'r-Rijal Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman heard his mother Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cursed both men and women who dug up," meaning those who dug up graves.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهَا تَقُولُ، لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمُخْتَفِيَ وَالْمُخْتَفِيَةَ يَعْنِي نَبَّاشَ الْقُبُورِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect the dead by not disturbing their resting place .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of respecting graves and not digging them up. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ cursed those who did so as it is disrespectful to the dead and their families. It teaches us that we should respect the dead and not disturb their resting place in any way. We should also remember that Allah will judge us for our actions in this life and we must be mindful of how we treat others even after they have passed away.

Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us to be mindful of our words as cursing someone or something can have serious consequences both in this world and the hereafter. We must always strive to use kind words when speaking about others or situations even if we disagree with them or find them unpleasant.
