Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable scholar says: A person told me that the grave of Adam (peace be upon him) is under the Ka'bah. What is the validity of this?
Answer:
Who buried Adam, and who was present on the day he was buried? Who saw him being buried? All of this is lies.
And those who say that the Stone of Isma'il contains such and such graves, that it contains the grave of Isma'il, the grave of Hajar, and the grave of this one, are lying and fabricating. This is promoting the worship of graves and shrines. None of the prophets, except our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), has a known grave. As for the other prophets, their graves are not known. This is a favor from Allah, for if they were known, fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) would arise from them, and people would do what they do at the graves of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous. If this happens at the graves of those who claim to be awliya and righteous, how much more so if the graves of the prophets were known? It would be even worse. So out of His mercy, Allah concealed them; He concealed the graves of the prophets so that people would not be led astray by them. Yes.
