Does the earth consume the bodies of the martyrs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is established regarding the fact that the earth does not consume the bodies of the martyrs?

Answer:
I do not know of this; rather, it is reported regarding the prophets that Allah the Exalted forbade the earth to consume the bodies of the prophets, but this may happen to some of the righteous as a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) from Allah And if the earth were to take it, it would not harm all people
From the earth We created you, and into it We will return youمِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ
[Ta-Ha:55], but everything of the son of Adam perishes except the ajb al-dhanab, a small bone in the buttocks, which remains, and from it creation is reconstructed on the Day of Resurrection.
