Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiVISIT ON THE HOLY TOMB OF THE PROPHET (SaIIaIIahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)
Hadrat Ibn ‘Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) traced the following back to the Prophet, “He who performs the Hajj (pilgrimage) and visits my grave after my death will be like him who visited me in my life time.” [Baihaqi]
The Prophet is reported to recite:
(Whoever has the means and fails to visit me does me great unkindness)
(Whoever visits my grave, it becomes incumbent on me to intercede on his behalf).
(Whoever visits me after my death, will get the same blessing as if he visited me during my lifetime). [Baihaqi, Tabarani]
The Prophet also said:
(Whoever perform one Salaah in my Mosque (Masjidun-Nabi) will get the reward for fifty thousand Salaah). [Ahmad lbn Hubban]
As such if one has the means to do so one should visit the Holy Tomb of the Prophet and Masjid-un-Nabi and receive the blessings.
