23/96. Chapter:

The graves of the Prophet (pbuh), Abu Bakr, and Umar Radiyallahu Anhu

فَأَقْبَرَهُ} أَقْبَرْتُ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا جَعَلْتَ لَهُ قَبْرًا، وَقَبَرْتُهُ دَفَنْتُهُ. {كِفَاتًا} يَكُونُونَ فِيهَا أَحْيَاءً، وَيُدْفَنُونَ فِيهَا أَمْوَاتًا.Fa aqbara-hu (“then He assigns to him a grave” — the Qur’ān, 80:21). Aqbartu ar-rajula uqbiru-hu means “I made a grave for him”. And qabartu-hu means “I buried him.” Kifāt-an (“draw to itself” — 77:25) means that they (human beings) exist in it (i.e., in the earth) when living, and are buried in it when dead.

Sahih BukhariHadith Number 1391

وَعَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا أَوْصَتْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ لاَ تَدْفِنِّي مَعَهُمْ وَادْفِنِّي مَعَ صَوَاحِبِي بِالْبَقِيعِ، لاَ أُزَكَّى بِهِ أَبَدًا‏.‏

Aisha narrated that she made a will to `Abdullah bin Zubair, "Do not bury me with them (the Prophet (ﷺ) and his two companions) but bury me with my companions (wives of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) in Al-Baqi as I would not like to be looked upon as better than I really am (by being buried near the Prophet)."
