What is the meaning of "leveling" in the hadith: "Do not leave a raised grave except that you level it"?

The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Ali and said: What is the meaning of "I leveled it" in the hadith, knowing that the graves in Rafha are about a hand-span high?

The Shaykh : The meaning of his saying: is: with what is around it, meaning: I made it like what is around it. Or the meaning of "I leveled it" is: I made it level, meaning in accordance with the Shari'ah. For example, if a person places high, tall mounds on his father's or mother's grave that can be seen from a distance, we say: this is a raised grave; level it by lowering the gravel, or replace it with something small. Likewise, if he places a lot of earth on it such that it is distinguished from others, it is also said to him: you must change it. Some of them estimated it at a hand-span. A hand-span is the distance between the tip of the little finger and the thumb when you extend your hand like this.
