Chapter: What was narrated concerning visiting the graves of the idolaters
Hadith 1572
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " زَارَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ فَبَكَى ، وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي ، وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي ، فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ ، فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمَ الْمَوْتَ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:` “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.’”
Hadith 1573
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ ، وَكَانَ وَكَانَ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " فِي النَّارِ " ، قَالَ : فَكَأَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَيْنَ أَبُوكَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حَيْثُمَا مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِ كَافِرٍ ، فَبَشِّرْهُ بِالنَّارِ " ، قَالَ : فَأَسْلَمَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بَعْدُ ، وَقَالَ : لَقَدْ كَلَّفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَعَبًا ، مَا مَرَرْتُ بِقَبْرِ كَافِرٍ ، إِلَّا بَشَّرْتُهُ بِالنَّارِ .
´It was narrated from Salim that his father said:` “A Bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my father used to uphold the ties of kinship, and so and so forth, where is he?’ He said: ‘In the Fire.’ It was as if he found that difficult to bear. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah. Where is your father?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whenever you pass by the grave of an idolater, give him the tidings of Hell-fire.’ The Bedouin later became Muslim, and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave me a difficult task. I never passed the grave of an idolater but I gave him the tidings of Hell-fire.’”
