أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ الضَّرِيرُ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ثنا بِسْطَامُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَقْبَلَتْ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْمَقَابِرِ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتِ؟ قَالَتْ: " مِنْ قَبْرِ أَخِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ " فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: أَلَيْسَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ؟ قَالَتْ " نَعَمْ كَانَ نَهَى ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِزِيَارَتِهَا " تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ بِسْطَامُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Abdullah bin Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: One day Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was coming back from the direction of the graveyard. I said: O Mother of the Believers, where are you coming from? She said: I had gone to the grave of my brother, Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not forbid "visiting graves"? She said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) did forbid it, but later he ordered that they be visited."
Only Bistam bin Muslim al-Basri narrated it, and Allah knows best.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَامِدٍ الْعَدْلُ بِالطَّابِرَانِ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ النَّبِيِّ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَتْ تَزُورُ قَبْرَ عَمِّهَا حَمْزَةَ كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ فَتُصَلِّي وَتَبْكِي عِنْدَهُ. كَذَا قَالَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ دُونَ ذِكْرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِيهِ وَهُوَ مُنْقَطِعٌ، وَقَدْ رُوِّيَنَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّابِتِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِامْرَأَةٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرٍ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ لَهَا: " اتَّقِي اللهَ وَاصْبِرِي " وَلَيْسَ فِي الْخَبَرِ أَنَّهُ نَهَاهَا عَنِ الْخُرُوجِ إِلَى الْمَقْبَرَةِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ تَقْوِيَةٌ لِمَا رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا أَنَّ أَصَحَّ مَا رُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ صَرِيحًا حَدِيثُ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ وَمَا يُوَافِقُهُ مِنَ الْأَخْبَارِ فَلَوْ تَنَزَّهْنَ عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ وَالْخُرُوجِ إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ وَزِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ كَانَ أَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِنَّ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.
Sayyiduna Ali bin al-Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), used to visit the grave of her uncle Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) every Friday, praying for forgiveness for him and shedding tears.
It has also been narrated (from Sulayman bin Dawud, from his father, from Ja'far bin Muhammad, from his father) without mentioning Ali bin al-Husayn from his father, and that is munqati' (broken chain).
It has been narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a woman who was weeping at a grave, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Fear Allah and be patient." This report does not state that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade her from going out to the graveyard, and in this there is support for what was narrated in the hadith of Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). However, the most authentic explicit report on this matter is the hadith of Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) and the reports that agree with it; so if women kept away from following funerals, going out to the graveyards and visiting graves, it would be safer for their religion.
