“I used to forbid you to visit the graves, but now visit them, for they remind you of the Hereafter. And I forbade you to drink from (certain type of) vessels, but now drink from them, but avoid everything that causes intoxication. And I forbade you to keep the sacrificial meat after three days, but now keep it as long as you wish.ʿ It was narrated that ‘Ali ؓ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade visiting graves... and he narrated a similar report, except that he said: ʿand beware of every intoxicant.ʿ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ وَعَنِ الْأَوْعِيَةِوَأَنْ تُحْبَسَ لُحُومُ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلاثٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمِ الْآخِرَةَ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنِ الْأَوْعِيَةِ فَاشْرَبُوا فِيهَا وَاجْتَنِبُوا كُلَّ مَا أَسْكَرَ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَنْ تَحْبِسُوهَا بَعْدَ ثَلاثٍ فَاحْبِسُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ
