“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach them, when they went out to the graveyard, to say: As-salamu ‘alaykum ahlad-diyar minal-mu’minina wal- muslimin, wa inna insha’ Allah bikum lahiqun, nas’alul-laha lana wa lakumul-‘afiyah (Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the abodes, believers and Muslims, and we will join you soon if Allah wills. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1547)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ فَكَانَ قَائِلُهُمْ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ أَنْتُمْ فَرَطُنَا وَنَحْنُ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَنَسْأَلُ اللهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ
