Sunan Ibn Majah 1558 (Book 6, Hadith 126) #30910
Burial of the Prophet (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the disagreement of people on how to bury the Prophet (PBUH) and 'Umar's reminder not to raise their voices in his presence.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "When the Messenger of Allah died, they differed as to whether his grave should have a niche or a ditch in the ground, until they spoke and raised their voices concerning that. Then 'Umar said: 'Do not shout in the presence of the Messenger of Allah , living or dead,’ or words to that effect. So they sent for both the one who made a niche and the one who dug graves without a niche, and the one who used to make a niche came and dug a grave with a niche for the Messenger of Allah , then he was buried".
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ شَبَّةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ طُفَيْلٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ الْقُرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي اللَّحْدِ وَالشَّقِّ حَتَّى تَكَلَّمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ وَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ: عُمَرُ لاَ تَصْخَبُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ حَيًّا وَلاَ مَيِّتًا أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا ‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى الشَّقَّاقِ وَاللاَّحِدِ جَمِيعًا فَجَاءَ اللاَّحِدُ فَلَحَدَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ثُمَّ دُفِنَ ـ

QUICK LESSONS:
Show respect towards elders & those who are no longer with us by speaking softly & respectfully when talking about them or near their gravesites; Always be respectful towards each other regardless if they are alive or dead; Resolve disagreements peacefully through dialogue & understanding one another’s point of view; Follow Allah's commands from The Quran .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident that happened after the death of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. People were debating whether his grave should have a niche or a ditch in it. Umar ibn Al Khattab reminded them not to shout in front of him living or dead as he was a respected figure and deserved respect even after his death. This hadith teaches us that we should always show respect for our elders and those who are no longer with us by speaking softly and respectfully when talking about them or near their gravesites. We should also remember that we must always be respectful towards each other regardless if they are alive or dead as this is what Allah has commanded us to do in His book, The Quran. It also teaches us that disagreements can be solved peacefully without raising our voices at each other which is something we can all learn from today’s society where arguments often turn into shouting matches instead of being resolved peacefully through dialogue and understanding one another’s point of view.
