Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12172 — Those who permitted visiting graves

Ibn Buraydah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I once sat with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a gathering and saw that he was sad. A man from among the people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Why is it that you appear sad?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, I was remembering my mother." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I had forbidden you from eating the meat of the sacrificial animals beyond three days; so (now) eat yourselves, feed others, and store as much as you wish. And I had forbidden you from visiting the graves; so whoever wishes to visit his mother's grave, let him visit it. And I had forbidden you from the gourd vessel, the green glazed jar, the pitch-coated vessel, and the hollowed-out wooden stump in which date wine is made; so avoid everything that intoxicates, and prepare nabidh in whatever vessel you wish."
