Uthmān ibn Maz‘ūn’s Death Date and Analysis of the Riwāyahs about whether He was the First Person Buried in al-Baqī Cemetery

Summary/Abstract: In a year after the Prophet’s migration to Madinah, the Masjid Al-Nabawī was built and during that time, the al-Baqī’ Cemetery was also built. There are different narratives about who was the first companion buried in the al-Baqī’ Cemetery, which is also known as Baqī’ al-Gharqad, Jannat al-Baqī’. There are some different narratives which tells us about who was the first companion buried to the Cemetery whether Es’ad ibn Zurārah from Ensār or Uthmān ibn Maz’ūn from Muhājir. This article deals with the issue whether Uthmān ibn Maz’ūn was the first buried person in al-Baqī’ Cemetery or not, in the context of narrations related to his death date. The information which will be discussed in this article in the context of narrations, will shed light on the establishment date of the al-Baqī’ Cemetery. The issue is also important in terms of the narrations about evaluation of the al-Baqī’ Cemetery and related to the first burials which have not been analysed separately. In the article, the material obtained by conducting a large literature review was criticized and problems related to narrations were pointed out.
