The location of the grave of the Prophet of Allah, Hud (peace be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Benefits from the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. Also, there is a place in the northern wall of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, where it is said that the grave of Hud (peace be upon him) is located?
The Shaykh:
This is one of the greatest lies; because he did not go to Sham, but rather Allah sent him to al-Ahqaf, as he warned his people in al-Ahqaf, and al-Ahqaf is in Yemen. So where was he buried? It is said that he migrated to Makkah after the destruction of his people; he migrated to Makkah. So either he was buried in the place where he lived in al-Ahqaf, or he was buried in his place of migration, which is the noble Makkah. As for him going to Sham, this is one of the greatest lies.
The questioner:
He said: And I have not known anyone from the people of knowledge who mentioned that the Prophet Hud (peace be upon him) died in Damascus.
The Shaykh:
Perhaps it was the name of another man named Hud, and they thought it was the Prophet. And names often resemble each other, as the Shaykh will mention; names resemble each other, so they assume and go to the noble name. Yes.
The questioner:
In fact, it has been said that he died in Yemen, and it has been said in Makkah, for his mission was in Yemen, and his migration after the destruction of his people was to Makkah.
The Shaykh:
So either he died in his homeland, or he died in his place of migration. Yes.
The questioner:
As for Sham, it is neither his home nor his place of migration, so his death there, given this situation, and the fact that the people of knowledge did not mention it but rather mentioned the opposite, is extremely far-fetched?
The Shaykh:
It is extremely false and far-fetched; because Hud (peace be upon him) did not go to Sham, and he has no connection to Sham; his connection is between Yemen and Makkah.
