Hadiths proving tombs of 70 Prophets (as) Tomb–(5769)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 Hafidh Ibn Hajr al Haythami (rah) said:  It is narrated by Al-Bazzar and all its narrators are “THIQA” (i.e. Hadith is absolutely sahih) [Majma az Zawaid Volume No.3, Page No.640 Bab fi Masjid al Khayf, Hadith #5769]
Jesus Will Be Burried Next to our Prophet’s ﷺ Tomb-Jesus, son of Mary, will come down to the world… He will marry, . . . live for 45 years and then die. He will be buried with me [Mohammed] in my grave. Then I and Jesus, son of Mary, will stand up in one grave between Abu Bakr and `Umar. (Mishkat-ul-Masabih, 40:4)

Jesus will marry and have a child after he returns. After he dies, the Muslims will perform his funeral prayer and bury him at the Rauza-i-Aqdas (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, 65)
This hadith itself proves that Hadrat Esa (aleh islam) will be buried in Prophet ((saws)) Tomb along with him

Muhammad said: Abu hanifa informed us saying that salim as aftas narrated to us saying ” There is no Prophet who has no fled from its people towards the kaaba to worship Allah, and around it there are graves of 300 Prophets.[pg 150,Kitab al-Athar of Imam al-Shaybani as published by Turath Publishing in London]

Muhammad said: Abu hanifa informed us saying that Ata ibn as saib narrated to us saying the graves of Prophet Hud, Salih and Shuaib [aleh islam] is in Masjid Al Haram [In pg 150,Kitab al-Athar of Imam al-Shaybani as published by Turath Publishing in London]

Fatwa from Ala Hadrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (rah)- No doubt doing the tawaaf of anything else except the Kaabah Muazzamah is unlawful [haram] .Sajdah (prostration) in front of anyone else except Allah is forbidden in our Shariat and about kissing the grave there are differences about it among the Ulamaas it is better not to do it (Do not kiss).Especially about the grave of the Awliyaa-e-Kiraam our Ulamaa have clearly described that we should stand quite far from the grave, the distance between us and the grave should be of four feet.This is the real respect then how can kissing of the grave be even thought of?(Ahkaame Shariat part 3 pg.3-4)

Narrated Aisha-Um Salama told Allah’s Apostle about a church which she had seen in Ethiopia and which was called Mariya.She told him about the pictures which she had seen in it. Allah’s Apostle said, “If any righteous pious man dies amongst them, they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it; they are theworst creatures in the sight of Allah.”[sahih bukhari volume 1, number 426]

First thing to be noted is ahle sunnah wal jammat considers putting pictures at graves as haram and No muslim at any part of world does it, Worshipping (means doing sajda) according to hadiths and even Imam Ibn e Hajar (Rah) , there is no a single imam who took worshpiing as building shrines except some deviated people, As QURAN ITSELF SAYS THEY BUILD A PLACE OF WORSHIP AND EVEN MASJID E NABWI ﷺ is a Place of Worship , Making pictures is haram and has no justification,Secondly this hadith is stated for Christians and non muslims, And some people blindly quote such hadiths and verses for muslims

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “Do not set out on a journey except for three mosques, i.e. Al-Masjid-Al-Haram, the Mosque of Allah’s Apostle, and the Mosque of Al-Aqsa (Mosque of Jerusalem).” [Sahih bukhari volume 2,number 281]
Some people take this hadith literally to claim that going to any mosque or Shrine is Haram , According to this childish logic we see All scholars who go to any mosque in the world to give lectures or pay visits (which many do every year including misguided group(ghair muqaled) school scholars) are doing a haram act.

Imam Nawawi write in Sharah of hadith ‘Not to travel (for visiting) except for three mosques (Bukhari)’ the true meaning of hadith, He (Nawawi) Write: In this haidth the Three Mosques status and thier high status as compaired to other mosques in the world is mentioned, because these are mosques of the Prophets ﷺ and this is why offering salat in them has greater blessing. According to them it means that to go for a journey for Sawab having intentions of complete and utmost blessing is only permissible for these three mosques.[Sharah Sahih Muslim, Nawawi, Volume 009, Page No. 106]

Ibn e taymiyah said He said “It is also mustahabb (recommended) to visit the graves of the people of al-Baqee’ and the martyrs of Uhud, to pray for them and ask for forgiveness for them, because the Prophet ﷺ used to do this, but this is prescribed for all the Muslim graves.” (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 17/470)
Also Visiting mosque of Quba apart from 3 mosques
For those who still after views of Imam Nawawi (Rah) take that hadith literally ,
The hadeeth narrated in al-Saheehayn from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Prophet ﷺ used to come to Quba’ riding and walking.” According to another report: “and he would pray two rak’ahs there.” (narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

The Prophet ﷺ also said, “Whoever purifies himself in his house then comes to the mosque of Quba’ and prays there, he will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.”  Narrated by Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i, Ibn Maajah
this proves that the hadith of only visiting three moques if taken literally is illogical , As Sahabas (Ra) used to Visit janat ul baqi and also visiting Masjid e Quba is recommended

Namaz/salaah=proof for iman(Personal deed)

Fasting=shield against hell (Personal deed)

Sadaqa/charity= saya/shade on the day of jugdement(Personal deed)

Zikr =noor /light(Personal deed)

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)
