Aulia visitation

Abbas bin Muhammad (rah) asked Imam Yahya bin Ma’een about “RECITING (QURAN) AT THE GRAVE” he replied: It is narrated from Mubashar ibn Ismail al-Halbi who narrated from Abdur Rahman bin al-Ala bin Lajlaaj, who narrated from his father (Sahabi) that his father said to his sons: When you are entering me in the qabr then make a Lahd then say: In the name of Allah and upon the Sunnah of RasoolAllah (ﷺ)” and then start adding dust, after this stand on my (head’s) side reciting the “BEGINNING AND ENEDING OF SURAH AL-BAQARAH” because I saw Ibn Umar (ra) considering this as a “RECOMMENDED DEED” [Sunnan Bayhaqi al-Kubra (5/404), Hadith # 7097]
…….. Ibn Umar (ra) considered it “MUSTAHAB/RECOMMENDED” to recite the beginning and ending of Surah al-Baqarah “UPON THE GRAVE AFTER BURIAL” [Imam al-Nawawi in Kitab ul Adhkaar (1/162)]

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 215: (Sahih Bukhari)Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: Once the Prophet, while passing through one of the grave-yards of Medina or Mecca heard the voices of two persons who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet said, “These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid).” The Prophet ﷺ then added, “Yes! (they are being tortured for a major sin). Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmiy between friends).(ilm e ghaib –prophet ﷺ knows what they did while they were alive ie the reason for the torture) The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave. On being asked why he had done so, he replied, “I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these get dried.”

About the qabr of the munafiq (hypocrite): “do not stand at his grave” ( Wa la Taqum ala Qabrihi   ). From this the `Ulama have deduced that we should visit the graves of the mu’minin, i.e. our Muslim brothers and sisters..

“I had previously forbidden you to visit graves, but I now permit you to visit them, for it will remind you of the Akhira.” Nasai, Musnad Ahmad (Bab al-Jana’iz)

It is narrated in the six authentic compilations of Hadith that the Nabi Muhammad ﷺ used to regularly visit the graveyard of Madinah, Jannatul-Baqi and make Du`a there (Muslim and Tirmidhi). 

Al-Bayhaqi, narrates that he used to visit the graveyard of the martyrs of Uhud annually ( specific periodic intervals)

We also know that the Nabi Muhammad ﷺ visited the Jannat al-Mua’lla graveyard in Makkah, where his dear wife Sayyidah Khadijah is buried and called the whole place a blessed graveyard “Ni’m al-Maqbarah Hazihi” .Narrated by al-Bazzar.

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)
