Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we hear the story of Nur al-Din Zanki, and that some Christians tried to remove the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from his grave. How authentic is this story?
Answer:
It is well known. Here, the one who built this grave, may Allah have mercy on him, did so in a way that made it possible to dig the earth until reaching the water table, using iron, so that no one was able to dig. May Allah reward him for the good deeds.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
