The Book of the Prohibited actions
Prohibition of facing the Graves during Salat (Prayer)
عَنْ أَبِي مرثد كناز بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: لاَ تُصَلُّوا إِلَى اَلْقُبُورِ، وَلَا تَجْلِسُوا عَلَيْهَا ((رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ)).
Abu Marthad Kannaz bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "Do not offer Salat (prayer) facing the graves and do not sit on them." [Muslim].
