Recommending (Hadith No. 1171)


Bismillah.
Hadith no. 1169 (below) is a repeat. Read it here.
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 510:
Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Harith (radiallahu `anhu):
Once the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) offered the 'Asr prayer and then hurriedly went to his house and returned immediately. I (or somebody else) asked him (as to what was the matter) and he said, "I left at home a piece of gold which was from the charity and I disliked to let it remain a night in my house, so I got it distributed. "
Hadith no. 1170 (below) is also a repeat. Read it here (Hadith no. 793).
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 511:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) went out for the 'Id prayer on the 'Id day and offered a two Rakat prayer; and he neither offered a prayer before it or after it. Then he went towards the women along with Bilal (radiallahu `anhu). He preached them and ordered them to give in charity. And some (amongst the women) started giving their fore-arm bangles and ear-rings.
Today's Hadith:
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 512:
Narrated Abu Burda bin Abu Musa (radiallahu `anhu):
that his father said, "Whenever a beggar came to Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) or he was asked for something, he used to say (to his companions), "Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it; and Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's tongue."
Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) would encourage his companions to help the poor. And if they couldn't fulfill the questioner's needs themselves, he would ask them to recommend them to someone else. And the person who recommends gets the same reward as the doer. Allahu Akbar.
This can be taken as a general principle, not just limited to financial help. If someone asks you for help, you help them if it's in your hands. If not, refer them to someone else who can make things easier for them. So even though you did not do the deed yourself, you're entitled to its reward. Because Allah is the Best. <3

Prophet [SAW]'s Grave (Hadith No. 1172)


Bismillah.
Hadith no. 1171 (below) is a repeat. Read it here.
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness said, "Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians, for they built the places of worship at the graves of their prophets." And if that had not been the case, then the Prophet's grave would have been made prominent before the people. So (the Prophet ) was afraid, or the people were afraid that his grave might be taken as a place for worship.

Grave of the Prophet (SAW):

Narrated Abu Bakr bin 'Aiyash :
Sufyan At-Tammar told me that he had seen the grave of the Prophet elevated and convex.
Two types of graves: shaqq & lahd.
The shaqq means that a trench is dug in the middle of the grave to suit the size of the deceased, and its sides are built with bricks so that it will not collapse on the deceased, and the deceased is placed in it on his right side facing the qiblah, then this trench is covered with stones or the like and the ceiling is raised a little so that it will not touch the deceased, then the soil is filled in. 
The lahd (niche) means that a place is dug at the bottom of the grave on the side that is closest to the qiblah, in which the deceased is placed on his right side facing the qiblah, then this hole is filled in with bricks behind the deceased, then the dirt is filled in.
Lahd, for example.
Both the lahd and the shaqq are permissible according to scholarly consensus, but the lahd is preferable, because this is what was done with the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Muslim (966) narrated that Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said, during the illness of which he died: Make a lahd (niche) for me, and set up bricks over me, as was done for the Messenger of Allaah (S).

Side question: was a window opened above the Prophet (SAW)'s grave for rain? Answer here.
Wassalam.
