Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra)reports that Rasoolullahﷺgave his shirt to the mother of Sayyiduna Ali Fatima bint Asad (ra), as a kafn. He even placed her in her grave and buried her himself. When people enquired the reason for this, he explained, “I made her use my shirt so that she may attain clothes of Jannat. I placed her in her grave so that its narrowness is removed for her.” -Ma ‘arifatus-Sahaaba of Abu Nuaim and Musnadul-Firdaus of Dailmi
Allama Ibn Abdul-Bir (ra)states that at the time of demise, Hadrat Ameer Mu’awiya (ra)willed, ‘The Holy Prophetﷺblessed me with his clothing. I have kept them for this very day. Keep them beneath my kafn, Take the blessed hair and fingernails of the Messengerﷺand place them on my face, eyes and parts of Sajda- Kitaabul-lsti ‘aab fi Ma ‘arifatis-Sahaaba

Narrated ‘Urwa:Aisha said, “The Prophet in his fatal illness said, ‘Allah
cursed the Jews and the Christians because they took the graves of their
Prophets as places for praying.”Aisha added, ” Had it not been for
that the grave of the Prophet ﷺ would have been made prominent but I am afraid
it might be taken (as a) place for praying.
Hadrat Umar (Ra) wish to get buried beside Tomb of Prophetﷺ in a Room
Al-Bukhari narrates in his Sahih, Book of Jana’iz:When `Umar was stabbed he
sent his son `Abd Allah with a message to `A’isha to “Ask her if I can be
buried with my two companions,” that is, in her room, next to the Prophet
and Abu Bakr. `A’isha replied: “I wanted the spot for myself, but I shall
put him [`Umar] before me today.” It had been her habit that if a man from
among the Companions asked her that spot she would always refuse. She herself
gave the following instructions before her death: “Bury me with my
lady-friends (the wives of the Prophet in al-Baqi`) [but do not bury me with
the Prophet in the house, for I dislike to be held in reverence (inni akrahu an
uzakka).” Ibn `Umar came back with the news, whereupon `Umar said: “NOTHING IN THE WORLD WAS MORE IMPORTANT
TO ME THAN THAT RESTING-PLACE.” [Narrated by al-Bukhari in his
Sahih.]
Hadiths proving tombs of 70 Prophets (as)
Tomb–(5769)Narrated by Ibn Umar (RA) from Prophet ﷺ who said: In (fi) the Mosque of al-Khayf there is Qabr of 70 Prophets (together)Imam
al Hafidh Ibn Hajr al Haythami (rah) said:
It is narrated by Al-Bazzar and all its narrators are “THIQA”
(i.e. Hadith is absolutely sahih) [Majma az Zawaid Volume No.3, Page No.640 Bab
fi Masjid al Khayf, Hadith #5769]
Jesus Will Be Burried Next to our Prophet’s (may God bless him and grant him peace) Tomb-Jesus, son of Mary, will come down to the world… He will marry, . . . live for 45 years and then die. He will be buried with me [Mohammed] in my grave. Then I and Jesus, son of Mary, will stand up in one grave between Abu Bakr and `Umar. (Mishkat-ul-Masabih, 40:4)
On the issue of
kissing a Shrine/grave Or putting head on grave.
It is also narrated that Mu`adh ibn
Jabal and Bilal came to the grave of the Prophet and sat weeping, and the
latter rubbed his face against it.Ibn Majah 2:1320, Ahmad, al-Tabarani,
al-Subki, and Ibn `Asakir
Dawud ibn Salih said: “[The governor of Madina] Marwan
[ibn al-Hakam]
one day saw a man placing his face on top of the grave of the
Prophet. He said: “Do you know what you are doing?” When he came near
him, he realized it was Abu Ayyub
al-Ansari. The latter said: “Yes; I came to the Prophet, not to a stone.,Ibn
Hibban in his Sahih, Ahmad (5:422), Al-Tabarani in his Mu`jam al-Kabir (4:189)
,Ibn Taymiyya in al-Muntaqa (2:261f.)
Imam al-Dhahabi said: “Ahmad ibn Hanbal was asked about touching the Prophet’s grave and
kissing it and he saw nothing wrong with it. His son ‘Abd Allah related
this from him. If it is asked: “Why did the Companions not do this?”
]We reply: “Because they saw him with their very eyes when he was alive,
enjoyed his presence directly, kissed his very hand, nearly fought each other
over the remnants of his ablution water, shared his purified hair on the day of
the greater Pilgrimage, and even if he spat it would virtually not fall except
in someone’s hand so that he could pass it over his face. Since we have not had
the tremendous fortune of sharing in this, we throw ourselves on his grave as a
mark of commitment, reverence, and acceptance, even to kiss it. Do you not see what
Thabit al-Bunani did when he kissed the
hand of Anas ibn Malik and placed it on his face saying: “This is the hand
that touched the hand of the Messenger of Allah “? Muslims are not moved to these matters except
by their excessive love for the Prophet , as they are ordered to love Allah and
the Prophet more than their own lives, their children, all human beings, their
property, and Paradise and its maidens. There are even some believers that love
Abu Bakr and ‘Umar more than themselves.
[Al-Dhahabi, Mu’jam al-Shuyukh (1:73 #58).]
“‘Abd Allah ibn Ahmad said: “I saw my father take a hair that belonged to the Prophet , put it
on his mouth, and kiss it. I believe I saw him put it on his eyes. He also
dipped it in water and drank the water to obtain cure. I saw him take the
Prophet’s bowl (qas’a), wash it in water, and drink from it. I saw him drink
Zamzam water in order to seek cure with it, and he wiped his hands and face
with it.” I say: Where is the quibbling critic of Imam Ahamad now?
It is also authentically established that ‘Abd Allah asked is father about those who touch the pommel of the
Prophet’s ﷺ pulpit and touch the wall of the Prophet’s saws
room, and he said: “I do not see any harm in it.” May Allah
protect us and you from the opinion of the Khawarij and from innovations![

entitled Min adabih]
When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
