What was narrated concerning the niche-grave being recommended
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَكَّامُ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، يَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اللَّحْدُ لَنَا وَالشَّقُّ لِغَيْرِنَا " .
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The niche-grave is for us and the ditch-grave is for others.”
