How is the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosque?

Question:
Many questions are asked about the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and about the evidence cited by some grave-worshippers that it is located in the mosque, so how do you deny that to us?

Answer:
It was not in the mosque during the caliphate of all the Rightly Guided Caliphs; it was outside the mosque. But when the mosque was expanded during the Umayyad caliphate, and the Commander of the Faithful was 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, who was the governor of Madinah, they ordered that the grave be brought inside. This was a good thing, for Allah placed it in a state of protection. If his grave had been built outside, people would have gathered around it and neglected the mosque. But it was brought into the mosque to preserve it, and it is guarded.
There are guides there, and no one is able to do anything wrong, forbidden, or involving shirk (associating partners with Allah). This is from the mercy of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
