Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The story that the leaders of the Dawah mention in their books is that some of the Companions went out and found the body of the Prophet Daniel, so they dug thirteen graves for him to obscure it from people so they would not take it as a grave, meaning a mosque built over his grave. To what extent is this narration authentic?
The Shaykh : First, you mentioned at the beginning of your speech, "it is mentioned by the people of the Dawah." What do you mean by the people of the Dawah?
The questioner : Beloved onesThe Shaykh : Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab in his book.
The Shaykh : But in current terminology, it refers to the Tabligh group.
The questioner : No, I did not intend that.
The Shaykh : You did not intend that, but your wording suggests it, so I was surprised by what you attributed based on my understanding; because these people do not care about such issues at all. The important thing is that this narration has a correct, established basis, and it has several narrations. I do not recall now whether the specific details you mentioned are correct with the same level of detail, but the important point is that they actually discovered it, dug, and channeled a river over it so that it could not be reached to be exalted or worshipped besides Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), and this is established.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner : The hadith...
