Ibn Hajr al Haythami (rah) wrote a “WHOLE BOOK” on virtues of visiting the grave of Prophet (ﷺ) in it he writes:Amongst the evil deeds of Ibn Taymiyyah, something which nobody before him in this world proclaimed is his rejection of Istighatha (Beseeching for help) and Tawassul through Prophet (salalAllaho alaihi wasalam). This Tawassul through Prophet (salAllaho alaihi wassalam) is Hassan (fair) in all conditions whether before his creation (i.e. him being sent to the world), after it (i.e. his death), also in this world and on Day of Judgment.(Jawhar al Munazzam fi Ziyaratil Qabr il Mukkaram: Page No. 171 )

Imam Bayhaqi-[Hadith Number 3879] Abu Ishaq al-Qarshi (ra) narrates that there was a man with us in Madina. Whenever he used to see any bad deed which he was not capable of stop with his hand, he used to go to the grave of Prophet (ﷺ) and say: O the inhabitants of Qabr i.e. Prophet and Sahaba (Abu Bakr and Umar) and our helpers please look towards our state. — [Hadith Number 3880] Abu Harb Hilali (ra) narrates that one Arabi performed Hajj and then came to the door of Prophet’s Mosque. He tied his camel there and enter the mosque till he reached the grave of Prophet (ﷺ). He stood at the feet of Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Peace be upon you O Prophet, then he offered greetings to Abu Bakr and Umar (Ridhwan Allaho Ajmain), he then turned towards the Prophet again and said: O Messenger of Allah, May my parents be taken ransom for you, I have come in your court because I am filled with sins and mistakes, so that I can make you a waseela infront of Allah so that you can intercede for me, because Allah has said in his Book: And We have not sent any Messenger but that he must be obeyed by the Command of Allah. And, (O Beloved,) if they, having wronged their souls, had come to you imploring the forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger (blessings and ﷺ) had also asked forgiveness for them, then (owing to this mediation and intercession) they would certainly have found Allah Most Relenting, Ever-Merciful. (Quran 4/64)” Then he turned towards a big group of Sahaba while saying: O best of those who are buried in deep””And from whose fragrance the depth and the height have become sweet” “May I be the ransom for a grave which thou inhabit” “And in which are found purity, bounty and munificence!”[Shuab ul Iman Volume 006, Page No. 60 Hadith Number 3879-80]

Al-Hafidh Ibn Hibban -Ibn Hibban (rah) relates his own account of going to Al-Ridha’s (rah) grave, performing Tawassul through him and states that whenever “I was afflicted with a problem during my stay in Tus, I would visit the grave of Ali bin Musa (Allah (SUBHANU WA TAALA)’s blessings be upon his grandfather and him) and ask Allah (SUBHANU WA TAALA) to relieve me of that problem and it (my dua) would be answered and the problem alleviated. And this is something I did, and found to work, many times.[Ibn Hibban, Kitab uth-Thiqat Volume 008, Page No. 456-7 #14411]
