Sahih al-Bukhari 7049 (Book 96, Hadith 57)

Narrated Hisham’s father: `Aisha said to `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, “Bury me with my female companions (i.e. the wives of the
Prophet) and do not bury me with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the house, for I do not like to be regarded as
sanctified (just for being buried there).”
Narrated Hisham’s father: `Umar sent a message to `Aisha, saying, “Will you allow me to be buried
with my two companions (the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr) ?” She said, “Yes, by Allah.” though it was her
habit that if a man from among the companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) sent her a message asking her to
allow him to be buried there, she would say, “No, by Allah, I will never give permission to anyone to
be buried with them.”

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ادْفِنِّي مَعَ صَوَاحِبِي وَلاَ تَدْفِنِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُزَكَّى‏.‏ وَعَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ ائْذَنِي لِي أَنْ أُدْفَنَ مَعَ صَاحِبَىَّ فَقَالَتْ إِي وَاللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ قَالَتْ لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُوثِرُهُمْ بِأَحَدٍ أَبَدًا‏.‏
