“Visit the graves, for they will remind you of the Hereafter.”  

ابن ماجة:١٥٦٩ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زُورُوا الْقُبُورَ فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الآخِرَةَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: I forbade you to visit graves, but you may now visit them, for in visiting them there is a reminder (of death). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3235)   

الحاكم:١٣٨٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْبَزَّارُ بِبَغْدَادَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ ثنا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثنا سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَابِرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْمَوْتُ»
