Do not set out(Safar) on a journey (for religious devotion) but for the three mosques-for this mosque of mine (at Medina) the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca), and the Mosque al-Aqsa (Bait al-Maqdis) . (Muslim Book 7 ,Number 3099)

Abu’l-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that ‘Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to him: Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it . (Muslim Book 4, Number 2115)

Its referring to graves of mushrikeen.

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. (Muslim Volume 2, Book 23, Number 414)

The above hadith is quoted for jews and christians not for muslims who took their Prophets as God, Son/daughter of God.

Narrated by Abu Bakr-When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) died the people disagreed about his burial, and Abu Bakr said he had heard something from Allah’s Messenger. He had said, “Allah takes a Prophet’s life only in the place where he wishes to be buried.” So he told them to bury him where his bedding lay. (Tirmidhi Hadith 5963)
Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah-On the day of Uhud we brought the martyrs to bury them (at another place), but the crier of the Prophet (ﷺ) came and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has commanded you to bury the martyrs at the place where they fell.’ So we took them back. (Abu-Dawood Hadith 3159)

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that A’isha, the wife of the Prophet, ﷺ, said, “I saw three moons fall into my room, and I related my vision to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Then, when the Messenger of Allah died, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and was buried in my house, Abu Bakr said to me, ‘This is one of your moons, and he is the best of them.’ ” (Muwatta Malik, Book*#16, Hadith*#16.10.30)
SubhanAllah this proves that Sahaba were buried beside Prophet(ﷺ) because the dream of a Prophet are also a part of Divine revelation Exactly.

The most honoured Prophet and righteous followers in Muslim ummah are Muhammed(ﷺ), Abu Bakr(r), Umar (r). The fact their graves being within tombs was validated by not just the obvious understand of permissibility by sahabah but even by a miraculous vision  to Aisha(r) leaves no room for misguided group distortion of hadith against tombs.

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)
