The answer

It is authentically reported that Thabit Al-Bunani supplicated to be granted the ability to pray in his grave. However, the occurrence of this for him has not been established with an authentic chain of narration. Rather, it has been mentioned in weak narrations containing unknown narrators. Al-Dhahabi mentioned his supplication with an authentic chain, but his seeing him praying in his grave was mentioned by Al-Dhahabi in a صيغة التمريض (passive or unconfirmed form), indicating its lack of authenticity.
