For instance, on the authority of Hazrat Jabir, Traditions attributed to our beloved master, peace be upon him, report that: 'the Holy Prophet forbade that a grave should be bricked over or should be sat upon or have a building erected over it. '1. Infact, our beloved Prophet, Hazrat Muhammed Mustapha, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was so insistent that graves of the dead should not have mausoleums built upon them that he even commanded. Hazrat Ali, upon whom be peace, not to leave a single grave without levelling it down. This fact is admitted by the literature produced by the anti Ahmadiyya organisations which cites a Tradition on the authority of Hazrat Abu al Hayyaj and states: 'Ali told me: "Shall I commission you to do what the Prophet of Allah commissioned me to do? Do not leave a single image without wiping it out, not a high grave without levelling it to the ground. "' '11. These Traditions are irrevocable proof of the fact that the practice of building mausoleums is alien to Islamic teachings and hence our beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, could never have suggested that the 'Promised Messiah would be buried in his Mausoleum,' since such a suggestion would have compromised the very essence of Islamic teachings. .
