Explanation

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) died, his Companions differed on where they should bury him. Abu Bakr As-Siddīq said that he should be buried where he died. In some versions, Abu Bakr heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say that no Prophet had ever died except in the place where he liked to be buried.
