What was narrated concerning the niche-grave being recommended
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السُّدِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَقْظَانِ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اللَّحْدُ لَنَا وَالشَّقُّ لِغَيْرِنَا " .
It was narrated that Jarir bin ‘Abdullah Al-Bajali said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The niche-grave is for us and the ditch-grave is for others.’”
