Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12708 — The ninth chapter regarding the virtue
وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ قَالَ أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ قَالَ ”يَا أَبَا مُوَيْهِبَةَ أَسْرِجْ لِي دَابَّتِي“ قَالَ فَرَكِبَ فَمَشَيْتُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَنَزَلَ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ وَأَمْسَكْتُ الدَّابَّةَ وَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ قَامَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ ”لِيَهْنِكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا فِيهِ النَّاسُ أَتَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ يَرْكَبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا الْآخِرَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَلِيَهْنِكُمْ مَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهِ“ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Muwayhibah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to pray for the people of the Baqi' graveyard. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for them three times in one night. When the second night came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Abu Muwayhibah! Prepare my mount." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride and I walked on foot until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the people of Baqi'. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and I held the mount. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood there and said: "O people of Baqi'! Congratulations to you for the state you are in. Here, tribulations are coming like pieces of a dark night; each subsequent tribulation is harsher than the previous one. Therefore, congratulations to you for the state you are in."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Baqi‘ was a graveyard; the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to go towards this graveyard to seek forgiveness for the people of Baqi‘.
