Narrated by Ibn Umar (RA) from Prophet ﷺ who said: In (fi)
the Mosque of al-Khayf there is Qabr of 70 Prophets (together) –- Imam
al Haythami said that it is narrated by Al-Bazzar and “all its narrators are
trustworthy” (i.e. Hadith is absolutely sahih) It is narrated by “Imam Ibn
hajr al Haythami in Majma az Zawaid, Volume No. 3 Bab fi Masjid al Khayf,

It is narrated from Dawud bin Abu Salih. He says: one day
Marwan came and he saw that a man was lying down with his mouth turned close to
the Prophet’s grave. Then he (Marwan) said to him, “Do you know what are you
doing?” When he moved towards him, he saw that it was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. (In reply) he said, “Yes (I know) I have come
to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and not to a stone. I have heard it from the Messenger of God (ﷺ) not to cry over religion when its guardian is competent. Yes, shed tears over religion when its
guardian is incompetent. Hakim declared it “SAHIH” while
Dhahabi also “AGREED” with his authentication [Hakim, al-Mustadrak
Volume 004: Hadith Number 515]Ahmad bin Hambal with a sound chain of
transmission in his Musnad Volume 005: Hadith Number 422;
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I found myself in Hijr and the Quraish were asking me about my night journey. I was asked about things
pertaining to Bait-ul-Maqdis which I could not preserve (in my mind). I
was very much vexed, so vexed as I had never been before. Then Allah raised it (Bait-ul-Maqdis) before
my eyes. I looked towards it, and I gave them the information about whatever they
questioned me I also saw myself among the group of apostles. I saw Moses saying his prayer and found him
to be a well-built man as if he was a man of the tribe of Shanu’a. I saw Jesus
son of Mary ﷺ offering prayer, of all of men he had the closest resemblance
with ‘Urwa b. Masu’d al-Thaqafi. I saw Ibrahim ﷺ offering prayer; he had the closest resemblance with your
companion (the Prophet himself) amongst people. When
the time of prayer came I led them. When I completed the prayer, someone said:
Here is Malik, the keeper of the Hell; pay him salutations. I turned to him,
but he preceded me in salutation. Sahih Muslim Book 001, Number 0328
Imam al Hafidh Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah) also authenticated it in his Fath
ul-Bari, Volume 6: Page No. 483
Musa (A.S) is alive in his
grave and also other Prophets remain alive in their graves
Anas
b. malik reported-Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying: I came. And in the narration transmitted on the
authority of Haddib (the words are): I
happened to pass by Moses on the occasion of the Night journey near the red
mound (and found him) saying his prayer in his grave. Sahih Muslim Book
030, Number 5858
Imam Qurtubi (rah): Its related from Abu Sadiq (ra) that Imam Ali (ra) said: “Three days after burying the Prophet ﷺ arab did came and did throw himself on the grave of the
Prophet ﷺ, took the earth and throw it on his head. He said: “Ya RasulAllah! ﷺ You did speak
and we did hear, you learned from Allah
and we did learn from you. Between those things which Allah did send
you, is following: (4:64) I am the one,
which is a sinner and now I did came to you, so that you may ask for me.”
After that a call from the grave did came: “Theres no doubt, you are forgiven!” [Tafsir al-Qurtubi,
al-Jami li Ahkam al-Quran Volume 006, Page No. 439, Under the Verse, 4:64]
Imam Dārimī Relates from Abu al-Jawza’ Aws bin ‘Abdullah: The people of Medina were in the grip of a
severe famine. They complained to ‘A’ishah (about their terrible
condition). She told them to go towards
the Prophet’s grave and open a window in the direction of the sky so that there
is no curtain between the sky and the grave. The narrator says they did
so. Then it started raining heavily; even the lush green grass sprang up
(everywhere) and the camels had grown so fat (it seemed) they would burst out
due to the over piling of blubber. So the year was named as the year of
greenery and plenty.

Hadrat Aisha (ra) narrates: Whenever I entered the house in which Prophet ﷺ and my father (i.e. Abu Bakr ra) are buried,I used to take off my sheet (from head)
thinking that it’s only my father and husband (whom I am visiting),
however By Allah! When Umar (ra) got
buried with them, I never went inside without being fully covered, this is
because of being ashamed of Umar (ra) [Musnad Ahmed bin Hanbal, Volume
No. 6, Page No. 202]Note: Even after
the dismissal of Hazarth Umar R.A, Hadrat Aisha R.A fully covered herself as if
he is alive.
Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If any one
of you greets me, Allah returns my soul to me and I respond to the greeting.
Book 4, Number 2036: Abu Dawood.Imam Nawawi (rah) says of this hadith : It is
narrated by Abu Dawud with a “SAHIH CHAIN” [Riyadh us Saliheen 1/255, Hadith #
1402]
Narrated By AbudDarda :Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Invoke
many blessings on me on Friday for it is witnessed. The angels are present on
it, and no one will invoke a blessing on me without his blessing being
submitted to me till he stops.” I asked whether that applied also
after his death, and he replied, “Allah
has prohibited the Earth from consuming the bodies of the prophets; so Allah’s
prophet is alive and given
provision.” Narrated AbudDarda Al Tirmdhi 1366 ,Sunan Ibn Maja
Volume 001: Hadith Number 1626,Abu Dawud Book 002, Hadith Number 1526
Imam Dhahabi (rah) narrates: Once there was a drought in
Samarqand, People tried their best, some said Salat al Istisqa but still it did
not rain, A renowned righteous man known as Salih came to the Qadhi and said: In my opinion you along with your public
should visit the grave of Imam Bukhari (rah), His grave is located in Khartank,
We should (go near the Qabr) and ask for rain, Allah might give us rain then, The
Qadhi said Yes to his opinion and then he along with the people went towards
(the Qabr) and then He made a dua along
with the people and people started to cry near the grave and started to make
him a Waseela (i.e. Imam Bukhari). Allah Ta’ala (immediately) sent rainclouds.
All people stayed in Khartank for about 7 days, none of them wanted to go back
to Samarqand although the distance between Samarqand and Khartank was only 3
miles [Siyar al A’lam wa al Nubalah, Volume 012, Page No. 469] .Imam Bulqini
also declares this tradition “sound” in his Fatawa. Imam Subki confirms Hakim’s
authentication in [Shifa-us-siqam fi ziyarat khayr-il-anam Page No. 120-1]
When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
