بقيع الغرقد

Medina's great cemetery east of the Prophet's Mosque; As'ad ibn Zurara was the first Muslim buried there on Abu Hatim's account via Razin — 'Uthman ibn Maz'un the first of the Emigrants — and al-Samhudi lists among its merits the resurrection of seventy thousand from it in the image of the moon without reckoning, angels who whenever it fills take it by its edges and empty it into Paradise, answered prayer at the corner of Dar 'Aqil beside it, and the mosque of Banu Hudayla inside it right of its gate ¹.
