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]
It is attributed to ‘Abdullāh bin Mas‘ūd that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) is reported to have said:My
life is blissful for you because you hear traditions from people and relate
them to others and my death is also blissful for you because your deeds will be
presented to me. If I see the virtues prevail, I will be grateful to Allah, and
if I see the vices prevail, I will pray for your forgiveness from Allah.
Haythamī transmitted it in Majma‘-uz-zawā’id (9:24) and said that that
tradition had been reported by Bazzār (in his Musnad) and its sub-narrators are
all of sahīh (sound) hadith.
Ibn Sa‘d has recorded it in at-Tabaqāt-ul-kubrā (2:194)/Qādī ‘Iyād has
inscribed this tradition in ash-Shifā (1:19)Suyūtī, recording it in
al-Khasā’is-ul-kubrā (2:281)
Hadrat Nafi said, “I
saw that Hadrat[‘Abdullah] ibn Umar used to come to the grave a hundred times
or more. He would say,’Peace be upon the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace. Peace be upon Abu Bakr.” Then he would leave. Ibn Umar was also seen to put his hand on the
seat of Prophet ﷺ at the mimbar and then
place his hand on his face [for blessings and Barakah] [Narrated in
Ash-Shifa of Qadi Iyad- Section 9]
Ibrahim Ibn Shayban said: “One year I went on a pilgrimage then I
came to Madinah and approached the
grave of the prophet(ﷺ) and said
Salam to him. I heard, coming from inside the room, the reply:”Wa’alaikum
al-salam.”Narrated from Muhammad ibn Hibban by Abu Nu’aim in Al-Targhib
(#102), Ibn Al-Najjar in Akhbar al-Madinah (pg. 146), Ibn Jawzi al-Qayyim in
Muthir al-Gharam (pg. 486-498), Al-Fayruzabadi in Al-Silat wal Bushr (pg. 54)
and by Ibn Taimiyya in Iatida’ al-Sirat al-Mustaqim (pg. 373 to 374)
[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 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]
Imam al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim write that:”A man came to the
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said ‘My mother has suddenly died and she did not leave any
will, but I suspect that if she did then she would have told me to give
something to charity. Now if I offer
something in charity on her behalf, will she get the reward?’ Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ replied, ‘Yes.’Then the man said, ‘I make you, the Prophet, my witness that I offer my garden full of
fruits in charity'” [Bukhari chapter on ‘Al-Wasiya’ Volume 4, Book
51, Number 19] [Muslim, chapter on ‘Al-Wasiya’ Book 13, Number 4003]
Imam al-Bukhari writes:”Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has said, ‘The status of the deceased is raised [during their time in the grave], and the deceased ask Allah why this has happened. Allah replies,’Your son has prayed for your forgiveness'” [al-Bukhari, Al-Adab Al-Mufid, chapter on ‘Excellency of Parents’]
The Prophet of Allah Said: Recite
It (Iqarahu) on (‘Inda) the deceased/dying that means Surah Yaseen.(Sunan
Ibn Majah, Kitab Al Janaiz #1438)The commentator of Sunan Ibn Majah further
states: His saying : On the
deceased/dying — That is to say on the dying or (Aw) after (Ba’ad) death Also.(Sharh
Sunan Ibn Majah Al Sanadi , Ibid)
The Prophet said:
iqra’u `ala mawtakum ya seen “Read Ya Seen over those of you who are
dying/deceased.” Abu Dawud in his Sunan (Jana’iz)al-Nasa’i in his Sunan
(`Amal al-yawm wal-layla),Ibn Majah in his Sunan (Jana’iz),
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)
