What is the response to the doubt regarding the existence of the Prophet's grave inside the mosque?

Question:
This is a message we received from the questioner Qadri Abdulmun'im, an Egyptian working in the Kingdom. He says: We heard in the hadith: , and it happens in many Islamic countries that shrines and maqams are built for the awliya (close friends of Allah), and when we forbid that, they argue that the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is located in his mosque in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, which causes us some confusion.
Please inform us, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
There is no doubt that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He was warning against what they did. It was narrated by the two Shaykhs: al-Bukhari and Muslim in "al-Sahihayn."
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . It was narrated by Muslim in his "Sahih."
These hadiths and what came with their meaning are all clear in the prohibition of building mosques over graves, or praying at them, or reciting at them, or the like. However, some people may be confused about matters and not know the truth that the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him) brought, so they do what they do of building over graves and making mosques over them; out of ignorance and lack of insight.
As for what concerns the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was not buried in ... in the mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in the house of Aisha, and then the mosque was expanded in the era of al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik at the end of the first century, so the chamber was included in the mosque. This was a mistake by al-Walid when he included it, and some of those present there in al-Madinah disapproved of him, but he was not able to heed those who disapproved of him.
So the result is that the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the house—in the house of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)—and then the chamber (the house) was included in the mosque due to the expansion, so there is no argument in that.
Then, it was the action of the prince—the Commander of the Faithful, al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik—and he erred in that when he included it in the mosque.
So it is not permissible for anyone to argue with this action. What people do today of building over graves and making mosques over them is all reprehensible, contrary to the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
So it is obligatory for the rulers of the Muslims to remove it. In any country where there is a ruler from the Muslim princes, it is obligatory for him to remove these mosques that are over graves, and to follow the Sunnah, and for the graves to be in the desert, exposed, with no building over them: no domes, no mosques, and nothing else, as the graves were in the era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)—in al-Baqi' and elsewhere—exposed, with nothing over them. And so it was with the graves of the martyrs—the martyrs of Uhud—there was nothing over them.
So the result is that this is what is prescribed: that the graves be exposed, open, with no building over them, as it was in the era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the era of the righteous Salaf.
As for what people have innovated of building, it is a religious innovation and reprehensible. It is not permissible to approve of it, nor to imitate it. For this reason, shirk (associating partners with Allah) occurred when the common people and the ignorant found the graves with mosques and domes built over them, and they were honored, carpeted, and perfumed; they thought that they would fulfill their needs, cure their sick, and benefit them; so they called upon them, sought aid from them, and made vows to them; so shirk occurred—we seek refuge in Allah—because of that.
So exaggeration regarding the graves is all evil. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . We ask Allah for safety and well-being. Yes.
