Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قَالَتْ لِي عَمْرَةُ أَعْطِنِي قِطْعَةً مِنْ أَرْضِكَ أُدْفَنْ فِيهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ كَسْرُ عَظْمِ الْمَيِّتِ مِثْلُ كَسْرِ عَظْمِ الْحَيِّ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَكَانَ مَوْلًى مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari, who said: Amrah said to me, "Give me a piece of your land in which to be buried, for I heard A'ishah say: breaking the bone of a dead person is like breaking the bone of a living person." Muhammad said: a freedman from the people of Madinah used to narrate this to him from A'ishah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
