18037 - Muhammad ibn al-Wazir al-Wasiti narrated to us, Ishaq al-Azraq narrated to us, from Sufyan al-Thawri, from Abu Sufyan, from Abu Nadra, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, he said: The Banu Salama lived in an outlying area of Medina, and they wanted to move close to the mosque. Then 'Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and their traces' was revealed. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said to them: 'Your traces are recorded,' so they did not move.
