Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we hear about the story of Nur al-Din Zanki, and that some Christians tried to remove the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from his grave. How authentic is this story?
Answer:
It is well known. He is the one who built the grave with the water of Nush, at the court, digging into the earth until he reached the water on the iron, where no one is able to dig. May Allah have mercy on him; he did a good deed. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
