Q
What is the significance of selecting a person who has not had sexual relations to enter a grave during a burial?
A
We were in the funeral procession of the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting
near the grave and I saw his eyes full of tears. He said, “Is there anyone amongst you who did not
have sexual relations with his wife last night?” Abu Talha replied in the affirmative. And so Allah’s
Apostle told him to get down in her grave and he got down in her grave and buried her.
