The Answer to the Doubt of the Grave Worshippers: Is the Grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Some of the grave worshippers have claimed regarding the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "The Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) contains a grave." This is one of the ambiguous matters that those with deviation in their hearts pursue. Otherwise, the matter is clear. The mosque was not built on the grave of the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not buried in the mosque. When this is negated, the problem is negated. As long as the mosque was not built on the grave, and the grave did not occur in the mosque, the problem ends, and it was never stated.
But as you know, when they wanted to expand the mosque during the era of the Umayyad Caliphs in the last year of the nineties, they found that this side was easier for the expansion, so they expanded the mosque from that side. They said: "The houses of the wives of the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) are the most deserving to be included in the mosque." The houses of the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) were all adjacent to the house of Aisha, and the house of Aisha remained, because it contained the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the graves of his two companions, and it could not be demolished. This makes it clear that the grave is independent in a special building.
Also, was this building built on the grave? No, the building was prior. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) placed the grave of the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) in his house so that his grave would not be taken as a mosque. They feared that and said it is safer for him and more careful in his house. Yes.
