The Prophet as a source of intermediation for Jews
Bi Haqqi Muhammad for the sake of Muhammad, this term had even given victory to Jews as Quran attests in its beautiful words
“And when there comes to them a Book from God, confirming what is with them,- although from of old they had prayed for victory against those without Faith,- when there comes to them that which they (should) have recognised, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of God is on those without Faith.”(2/89

1.Imam Qurtubī-Imam Qurtubī related the tradition through Ibn ‘Abbās:
 The Jews of Khaybar were often at war with the Ghatafān (tribe). When they confronted each other (in battle) the Jews were defeated. They attacked again, offering this prayer, “(O Lord,) we beg You through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet
about whom You have promised us that you will send him to us at the end of time. Please help us against them.” Ibn ‘Abbās adds: whenever they faced the enemy, they offered this prayer and defeated the Ghatafān (tribe). But when the Prophet was sent, they denied (him). So Allah the Exalted revealed the verse: “And before that they themselves had (prayed) for victory (through the mediation of the last Prophet Muhammad and the Book revealed to him) over the disbelievers,” that is, through your mediation, O Muhammad. ►Qurtubī, al-Jāmi‘ li-ahkām-il-Qur’ān, 2:27

2. Mahmud Alusī said: This (verse) was revealed about Banū Qurayzah and Banū Nadīr who used to pray for victory over Aws and Khazraj before Allah’s Messenger’s Prophethood. Ibn ‘Abbās and Qatādah have given expression to the same reality. It means that they prayed to Allah through his mediation for victory over the polytheists as also stated by as-Suddiyy: when the war raged between them and the polytheists, they opened the Torah and placed their hand on the spot where the Prophet
was mentioned and prayed, “O Allah, we pray to You through the mediation of Your Prophet You have promised with us to send him at the end of time; today grant us victory over our enemies.” So (by the blessing of this prayer) they were made victorious.
►Mahmūd Alūsī, Rūh-ul-ma‘ānī (1:320)


3. Imam Jalāl-ud-Dīn Mahallī and Imam Jalāl-ud-Dīn Suyūtī -They write the Jews used to pray in these words:”O Allah, grant us victory through the mediation of the Prophet who is to appear at the end of time.”
►Mahallī and Suyūtī, Tafsīr-ul-jalālayn (p.14)

4. Imam Ibn Kathīr says:The Jews used to pray for victory over the Arab polytheists through the mediation of Muhammad((saws))
►Ibn Kathīr, Tafsīr-ul-Qur’ān al-‘azīm (1:124)

5. Imam Suyūtī-He narrates two traditions on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbās in this context as follows:

The Jews of Banū Qurayzah and Banū Nadīr used to pray for victory over the disbelievers and the infidels before the Prophethood of Muhammad. They said: O Allah, bless us with victory through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet, and they were blessed with victory.

The Jews of Medina, before the arrival of the Holy Prophet
in their war against the (tribes of) Arab disbelievers – Asad, Ghatafān,

Juhaynah and ‘Udhrah – prayed for victory over them and sought help by invoking the name of Allah’s Messenger. They said: O Allah, our Lord, grant us victory over them through the name of Your Prophet and through Your Book to be revealed to him whose Prophethood You have promised us at the end of time.
►Suyūtī, ad-Durr-ul-manthūr (1:88)

Narated Abdullah Ibn Umar:Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said: who ever visits my grave after my death it is same he has visited me in my life.
►Tabrani Volume 012: Hadith Number 406
►Bayhaqi Shu’ab ul Iman Volume 003: Hadith Number 489

Imam Ibn Quduma (rah) said: It is recommended to do Ziyarah of Prophet’s grave as it is narrated by Daraqutni with his Isnaad from Ibn Umar (ra) that the Prophet ﷺ said: Whosoever performs the Hajj after my death then he should visit my grave because It is as If he has visited me during my life. And he also narrated (another hadith) that Whosoever visits my grave then my intercession becomes Wajib for him [Imam Ibn Quduma in al-Mughni, Volume No. 5, Page No. 381]
►Imam al Bahuti al-Hanbli (rah) has also said this in his Al-Kashaf al-Qanna [Volume No. 2, Page No. 290]

Qadhi Iyaad (rah) said in his magnificent Ash-Shifa- Chapter: The order of visiting the grave of Prophet ﷺ and the Virtue of the one visiting it and sending Salam.It should be known that visiting the grave of Prophet (Peace be upon him) is “Masnoon” [Well known] for all Muslims and they have “IJMA” over it, It has such a virtue that It has been prescribed to us as it comes in the hadith of Ibn Umar (ra) [i.e. whosoever visits my grave then my intercession becomes Wajib for him][Qadhi Iyaad in Ash-Shifa, Volume No.2, Page No. 53]
