Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 10, Hadith 83

Ja’far bin Muhammad narrated that: His father said: “The one who made the Lahd in the grave of the Messenger of Allah was Abu Talhah. And the one who placed the velvet cloth under him was Shuqran a freed slave of Messenger of Allah.”

حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ الطَّائِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ الَّذِي أَلْحَدَ قَبْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَالَّذِي أَلْقَى الْقَطِيفَةَ تَحْتَهُ شُقْرَانُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شُقْرَانَ يَقُولُ أَنَا وَاللَّهِ طَرَحْتُ الْقَطِيفَةَ تَحْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْقَبْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ شُقْرَانَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ‏.‏

Hasan (Darussalam)

 

The above hadith is from the Jami` at-Tirmidhi collection of hadiths. As a cornerstone of Sunni hadith literature, the Jami` at-Tirmidhi was authored by Imam al-Tirmidhi in the 9th century. Its canonical status is confirmed by its inclusion in the Kutub al-Sittah, the six books that form the primary foundation of Islamic tradition. These are the collections of al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi himself, al-Nasa’i, and ibn Majah. This particular text is notable for its size and structure, comprising over 4,000 hadiths that are neatly divided into 46 separate books.
