Jafar ibn Muhammad narrated from his father that Abu Talhah dug the grave of Allah’s Messenger (SAW) and the one who stretched a piece of cloth under the Prophet (SAW) was Shuqran, the freedman of Allah’s Messenger (SAW). Ja’far reported that Ibn Abu Rafi told him that he heard Shuqran say, “By Allah, I had spread the piece of cloth under Allah’s Messenger in the grave.”
