[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I prohibited you from three things - visiting graves, keeping the meat of sacrifices for more than three days, and using containers except for drinking purposes. However, visiting the grave of my mother was permitted for me. I only prohibited you from keeping the meat of sacrifices for more than three days to facilitate the act for those who did not offer sacrifices. And I prohibited you from using containers except for drinking purposes, as no container is lawful or prohibited."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ ثَلَاثٍ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِي أَنْ تُمْسِكُوهَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَعَنِ الظُّرُوفِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ فِي سِقَاءٍ وَقَدْ رُخِّصَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أُمِّهِ وَإِنَّمَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَنْ تُمْسِكُوا لُحُومَ الْأَضَاحِي فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ لِيُوَسِّعَ ذُو السَّعَةِ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنِ الظُّرُوفِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ سِقَاءٍ فَلَا يُحِلُّ ظَرْفٌ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُحَرِّمُهُ»  

“The Prophet ﷺ visited the grave of his mother and wept, causing the people around him to weep. Then he said: ‘I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not give me permission. Then I asked my Lord for permission to visit her grave and He gave me permission. So visit the graves, for they will remind you of death.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1572)  

زَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي فَزُورُوَا الْقُبُورَ فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Zahm."  

لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا اسْمُكَ؟ » قَالَ زَحْمٌ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to the graveyard and said: Peace be upon you, inhabitants of the dwellings who are of the community of the believers. If Allah wills we shall join you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3237)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَقْبَرَةَ فَقَالَ « السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَلَاحِقُونَ»  

every time it was her night for the Messenger of Allah to stay with her, he would go out at the end of the night to Al-Baqi' and say: "As-salamu 'alaykum dara qawmin mu'minin, wa inna wa iyyakum mutawa'idun ghadan wa mutawakilun, wa inna in sha' Allahu bikum lahiqun. Allahummaghfir li ahli baqi'il gharaqad. (Peace be upon you, O abode of believing people. You and we used to remind one another about the Day of Resurrection and we are relying on one another (with regard to intercession and bearing witness). Soon we will join you, if Allah willing. O Allah, forgive the people of Baqi' Al-Charqad.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2039)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيَقُولُ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَتَانَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ مَا تُوعَدُونَ غَدًا مُؤَجَّلُونَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَهْلِ بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ»  

“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 اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا «السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدَّارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَلَاحِقُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَنَحْنُ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ»  

"The Prophet came to 'Abdullah bin Ubayy after he had been placed in his grave, and commanded that he be brought out. He placed him on his knees and blew on him and clothed him in his shirt. And Allah knows best." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2019)   

سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ «أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْرَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ ابْنِ سَلُولٍ بَعْدَمَا أُدْخِلَ حُفْرَتَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ وَنَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ» وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ  

"When 'Abdullah bin Ubayy died, his son came to the Prophet and said: 'Give me your shirt so that I may shroud him in it, and (some and) offer the (funeral) prayer for him, and pray for forgiveness for him'. So he gave him his shirt then he said: 'When you have finished, inform me and I will offer the (funeral) prayer for him.' But 'Umar stopped him and said: 'Hasn't Allah forbidden you to offer the (funeral) prayer for the hypocrites?' He said: 'I have two options. Whether you ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask no forgiveness for them." So he offered the (funeral) prayer for him. Then Allah, Most High, revealed: 'And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.' So he stopped offering the (funeral) prayer for them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1900)   

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ لَمَّا مَاتَ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَهُ فِيهِ وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ قَالَ فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ وَقَالَ «إِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَآذِنِّي حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ» فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ آذَنَهُ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ جَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ قَالَ اللَّهُ {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ} » قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} قَالَ فَتَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] "I heard Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, saying: When Abdullah ibn Ubay died, his son Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Ubay ibn Salul came to the Messenger of Allahﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, this is Abdullah ibn Ubay, we have buried him, so please pray for him. The Messenger of Allahﷺ stood up to pray for him. When he stood up to pray, I stood in front of the chest of the Messenger of Allahﷺ and I said: O Prophet of Allah, are you praying for the enemy of Allah who said such and such on such and such day, and the one who said such and such on such and such day, I number his evil days. The Messenger of Allahﷺ smiled and said: Leave me, O Umar. When I persisted, he said: Leave me, O Umar. I was given a choice, and I chose, for Allah says, 'Ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them.' If I knew that by adding more than seventy, he would be forgiven, I would have added more." Umar said: I was amazed at my boldness to the Messenger of Allahﷺ but Allah and His Messenger know best. When he said that to me, I turned away from him and prayed for him, then I walked with him and stood by his grave until he was buried. Then he turned away, and by Allah, he did not stay except for a short while until Allah revealed, "And never pray [the funeral prayer, O Muhammad], over any of them who has died - ever - or stand at his grave." So the Messenger of Allahﷺ did not pray for a hypocrite after that, nor did he stand at his grave."  

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ أَتَى ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ ابْنِ سَلُولٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ قَدْ وَضَعْنَاهُ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَامَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ قُمْتُ فِي صَدْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَى عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ الْقَائِلِ يَوْمَ كَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا وَالْقَائِلِ يَوْمَ كَذَا كَذَا وَكَذَا أُعَدِّدُ أَيَّامَهُ الْخَبِيثَةَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «عَنِّي يَا عُمَرُ» حَتَّى إِذَا أَكْثَرْتُ قَالَ «عَنِّي يَا عُمَرُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ خُيِّرْتُ فَاخْتَرْتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ} وَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي زِدْتُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ غُفِرَ لَهُ لَزِدْتُ» قَالَ عُمَرُ فَعَجَبًا لِجُرْأَتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَلَمَّا قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ انْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى مَعَهُ فَقَامَ عَلَى حُفْرَتِهِ حَتَّى دُفِنَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا لَبِثَ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} فَمَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى مُنَافِقٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا قَامَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ  

We buried a deceased person in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When we had finished, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and we also returned with him. When he approached his door, he stopped, and we saw a woman coming towards him. He (the narrator) said: I think he recognized her. When she went away, we came to know that she was Fatimah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: What brought you out of your house, Fatimah? She replied: I came to the people of this house, Messenger of Allah, and I showed pity and expressed my condolences to them for their deceased relation. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You might have gone to the graveyard with them. She replied: I seek refuge in Allah! I heard you referring to what you mentioned. He said: If you had gone to the graveyard...He then mentioned severe words about it. I then asked Rabi'ah (a narrator of this tradition) about al-kuda (stony land). He replied: I think it means the graves. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3123)   

قَبَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَانْصَرَفْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا حَاذَى بَابَهُ وَتَوَسَّطَ الطَّرِيقَ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِامْرَأَةٍ مُقْبِلَةٍ فَلَمَّا دَنَتْ إِذَا هِيَ فَاطِمَةُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَخْرَجَكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ مِنْ بَيْتِكِ؟ » قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فَعَزَّيْنَا مَيِّتَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَعَلَّكِ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى؟ » قَالَتْ مُعَاذَ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِيهَا مَا تَذْكُرُ قَالَ «لَوْ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى مَا رَأَيْتِ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا جَدُّكَ أَبُو أَبِيكِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah curse those who visit graves."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ زَائِرَاتِ الْقُبُورِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed women who visit graves, those who built mosques over them and erected lamps (there). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3236)  

«لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَائِرَاتِ الْقُبُورِ وَالْمُتَّخِذَاتِ عَلَيْهَا الْمَسَاجِدَ وَالسُّرُجَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed women who visit graves, those who built mosques over them and erected lamps (there). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3236)  

«لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَائِرَاتِ الْقُبُورِ وَالْمُتَّخِذِينَ عَلَيْهَا الْمَسَاجِدَ وَالسُّرُجَ»  

[Machine] She (referring to Um Salama and Um Habiba) said, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sick, his wives mentioned a church they saw in Ethiopia. It was called Maryam Church, and they mentioned its beauty and the images inside. So the Prophet ﷺ raised his head and said, "If any righteous man among them dies, they build a mosque over his grave and make images in it. Those people will be the worst creatures in the sight of Allah."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ مَرَضُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ نِسَائِهِ كَنِيسَةً رَأَيَاهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَأُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ قَدْ أَتَتَا أَرْضَ الْحَبَشَةِ فَذَكَرْنَ كَنِيسَةً رَأَيْنَهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا مَارِيَةُ وَذَكَرْنَ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا وَتَصَاوِيرَ فِيهَا فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أُولَئِكَ إِذَا مَاتَ مِنْهُمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا ثُمَّ صَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ وَأُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Allah's curse to be on the Jews, they made the graves of their Prophets mosques. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3227)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَوْمًا اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ»
