Ruling on visiting graves
Hadith 247
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، نا أَبُو مُنَيْنٍ، قَالَ يَعْلَى وَهُوَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((اسْتَأَذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أُمِّي فَأَذِنَ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي الِاسْتِغْفَارِ فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي فَزُورُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْآخِرَةَ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the grave of his noble mother, so he wept and made those around him weep as well. Then he said: "I sought permission from my Lord to visit the grave of my noble mother, and He granted me permission. And I sought permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not grant me permission. So visit (the graves), for they remind you of the Hereafter."
