To put pictures near grave
Narrated Aisha-Um Salama told Allah’s Apostle about a church which she had seen in Ethiopia and which was called Mariya.She told him about the pictures which she had seen in it. Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said, “If any righteous pious man dies amongst them, they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it; they are theworst creatures in the sight of Allah.”[sahih bukhari volume 1, number 426]

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not set out on a journey except for three mosques, i.e. Al-Masjid-Al-Haram, the Mosque of Allah’s Apostle, and the Mosque of Al-Aqsa (Mosque of Jerusalem).” [Sahih bukhari volume 2,number 281]

The hadeeth narrated in al-Saheehayn from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Prophet ﷺ used to come to Quba’ riding and walking.” According to another report: “and he would pray two rak’ahs there.” (narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

The Prophet ﷺ also said, “Whoever purifies himself in his house then comes to the mosque of Quba’ and prays there, he will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.”  Narrated by Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i, Ibn Maajah

Sahih Bukhari Book 52 Hadith 205 -Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: When we reached (Hudaibiya) in the next year (of the treaty of Hudaibiya), not even two men amongst us agreed unanimously as to which was the tree under which we had given the pledge of allegiance, and that was out of Allah’s Mercy.The tree that the Tabi’een were visiting at the Hudaybiyyah , in the the time of Sayyidina Umar was not the real one, but it was in the same valley where the real one was.Hence, the real reason Umar had the tree chopped down (because it was wrongly attributed to the Prophet (s).In fact, the mysterious vanishing of the real tree by Allah (subhanu wa taala) shows how important it was .

In the last moments of Jabir Bin Abdullah he had lost his sight he use to say: ‘If I could see today I would show you where the tree was, where the Prophet ﷺ received the Ba’ya of the companions”. [Sahih Bukhari chap,Al-Magazi]

Imam Ibn Hajar Asqalani says in the commentry: “Some people forgot where this place was like Sa’eed Bin Al-Musayib’s Father, and some knew where it was like Jabir Bin Abdullah”. [Fathul bari, chapter Bay’a Ridwan]

Imam Tabari said: During the period of Umar (Radiall hu anhu’s) Khalifet, he went for pilgrimage, when he passed Hudaiba’ he asked:“Where is the tree under which the bay’a took place?” A person replied: ‘This one”. Someone said: ‘This one”. Umar (Radiall hu anhu) said: “Forget the inconvenience”. [Tafsir Tafhemul Qur’an Surah Fata’h under verse 18 by Sayyid Maududi].

Sunan Dawud Book 20 Hadith 3230 saysNarrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:The Apostle of Allah ﷺ cursed women who visit graves those who built mosques over them and erected lamps

Imam at-Tabari and Hafiz Ibn Kathir write, in 88 AH,
that the room of ‘A’isha (may Allah be pleased with her) – where there are graves of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them)- was joined to the mosque of the Prophet  [Tareeh Tabari and Tar’ikh Hafiz Ibn Kathir, Chapter of Government of Walid ibn ‘abd al-Malik]

Sahih Bukhari vol 2 book 23 Hadith 473
Narrated Abu Bakr bin ‘Aiyash : Sufyan At-Tammar told me that he had seen the grave of the Prophet elevated and convex.

It is established that the Prophet placed a rock on top of `Uthman ibn Maz`un’s (ra) grave saying:With it I shall designate the grave of my [milk-]brother and later bury in it whoever dies among my relatives -Abu Dawud,al-Bayhaqi in al-Kubra (3:412) with fair chains cf Ibn Hajar, The complete report states that the Prophet asked a man to place a rock on top of Ibn Maz`un’s grave; when he was unable to move it, he rolled up his sleeves and helped him and the whiteness of his arms was visible. Ibn Maz`un was the first of the Muhâjirûn buried in Baqi al-Gharqad.Ibrahim(the Prophet’s son) was buried next to him. .”

Another Sahih Hadith from Imam Bukhari (Rah) himself -Kharija ibn Zayd said: I can see myself when we were young men [boys] in the time of Uthman [ibn `Affan](ra)The strongest one of us in high jump was he who could jump over the grave of `Uthman ibn Maz`un and clear it by al-Bukhari in his Sahih chapter-title, “[Placing] a Stalk on Top of the Grave.”Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari (3:256=1959 ed. 3:223 cf. Taghliq al-Ta`liq):”Al-Bukhari narrated it with its chain in al-Tarikh al-Saghir (1:42)

Other narrations proving the legality of bayt or strucure over the grave are: Ibn Abi Shayba (3:217) recorded that ‘Umar built a large structure (fustat) over the tomb of Zaynab. A structure was pitched on the grave of Aisha(radiAllahu anha)’s brother Abdrahman bin Abi Bakr(Fathul Bari vol3, p286). Fatima bint Husayn built a large tent over the grave of her husband Hasan ibn Hasan ibn ‘Ali and kept it for a year, then removed it (Fath Bari3:200, Ibn ‘Asakir 70:19-20, Ibn Abi Dunya’s Hawatifp. 92 #131). Muhammad ibn Hanafiya built a fustat over the grave of Ibn ‘Abbas (Khalili’s Irshad1:185, Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr’s Isti’ab).
