وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال : مر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم بقبور المدينة فأقبل عليهم بوجهه فقال : « السلام عليكم يا أهل القبور يغفر الله لنا ولكم ، أنتم سلفنا ، ونحن بالأثر». رواه الترمذي وقال: حسن.
Ibn ‘Abbas (RAA) narrated, ‘Once the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by some graves in Madinah. He turned his face toward them saying, “Peace be upon you, O dwellers of these graves. May Allah forgive you and us. You have preceded us, and we are following your trail." Related by At-Tirmidhi, who graded it as Hasan.
