Mukhtasar Muslim

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited his mother’s grave, and he (peace be upon him) wept, causing those around him to weep as well. Then he (peace be upon him) said: I sought permission from my Lord to seek forgiveness for my mother, but I was not granted permission. And I sought permission to visit her grave, and I was granted permission. Therefore, visit graves, for they remind you of death.

Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I used to forbid you from visiting graves, but now you should visit them. And I used to forbid you from keeping the meat of sacrifice for more than three days, but now keep it as long as you wish. And I used to forbid you from drinking nabidh (fermented drink) in containers other than water skins, but now drink from any drinking vessel you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating.
