The Ruling on the Hadith: (Three bodies are forbidden to the earth...)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard a hadith whose meaning is:
Three whose bodies are forbidden to the earth: the prophetsثلاثة أجسادهم حرمت على الأرض: الأنبياء
..

The Shaykh: The earth, or is it upon the Fire?

The presenter: The earth.

The Shaykh: Nothing contradicts it, yes.

The presenter: I heard a hadith whose meaning is:
Three whose bodies are forbidden to the earth: the prophets, the martyrs, and the guardians of the Qur'an who acted upon itثلاثة أجسامهم حرمت على الأرض الأنبياء، والشهداء، وحفظة القرآن الذين عملوا به
, is this hadith authentic?

Answer:
We do not know of any basis for it. What is preserved and known is:
That Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) forbade the earth to consume the bodies of the prophetsأن الله -جل وعلا- حرم على الأرض أن تأكل أجساد الأنبياء
Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:306
-specifically- as it came in the hadith about him (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the guardians of the Qur'an, there is no basis for this regarding them. What is established regarding the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) is:
That Allah forbade the earth to consume their bodiesأن الله حرم الأرض أن تأكل أجسادهم
, yes.
