Reference of graveyard dua

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear Mr. Burhan

Assalaam u alaikum

 

This has reference to your below email.

 

The first thing we must do when we visit any graveyard is invoke the prayer that the Messenger of Allah (saws) used to invoke whenever he visited a graveyard.

 

THE DUA IS:  `AS SALAAM ALEIKUM AHLED-DIYAAR MINAL MUSLIMEENA WAL MUMINEENWA INNA INSHA ALLAH BEKUM LAHIQOON.   YAGFIRALLAHU LANA WA LAKUM.

EXACT TRANSLATION WOULD BE: "PEACE BE UPON YOU, O PEOPLE OF THIS PLACE (GRAVEYARD) FROM THE MUSLIMEEN AND MUMINEEN.   WE, TOO, GOD WILLING, ARE COMING BEHIND YOU.   MAY ALLAH FORGIVE US AND YOU ALL."

 

Kindly let me know from where you gave this answer. You r requested to give us the proper hawala from the QURAN or from the Sahih Hadith...

Answer:

 

Reference of graveyard dua

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Respected brother, there are several narrations in the authentic and establish Sunnah regarding the supplication made by the Messenger of Allah (saws) when visiting the graveyards.

 

Sahih Muslim Hadith 2128 Narrated by Buraydah ibn al-Hasib

The Messenger of Allah (saws) used to teach his companions when they went out to the graveyard. One of the narrators used to say this in the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr: "Peace be upon the inhabitants of the graveyard". In the hadith transmitted by Zuhayr (the words are):"Peace be upon you, the inhabitants of the graveyard, among the believers and the Muslims; and God willing we shall join you. I beg of Allah’s Peace for us and for you.”

 

Sahih Muslim Hadith 482 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah (saws) came to the graveyard and said: ‘Peace be upon you! The abode of the believing people; and we, if God so wills, are about to join you.’

 

Buraidah reported: "The Prophet (saws) taught us that when we visited graves we should say, 'Peace be upon you, O believing men and women, O dwellers of this place. Certainly, Allah willing, we will join you. You have preceded us and we are to follow you. We supplicate to Allah to grant us and you security'.''

Ibn 'Abbas reported: "Once the Prophet (saws) passed by graves in Madinah. He tumed his face toward them saying: 'Peace be upon you, O dwellers of these graves. May Allah forgive us and you. You have preceded us, and we are following your trail'."

Aishah said: "Every time it was my turn to be with the Prophet (saws) toward the end of the night, he would go out to the cemetery of al-Baqi' and would say,

'Peace be upon you, O abode of believers. What you were promised will come to pass tomorrow at a fixed time. We shall, Allah willing, soon join you. O Allah! Grant forgiveness to the people who are buried in al-Baqi' al-Gharqad','

Aishah reported: "I asked: 'What should I say when I pass by a graveyard, O Messenger of Allah (saws)?' He (saws) replied, 'Say, "Peace be upon the believing men and women dwelling here. May Allah grant mercy to those who have preceded us and those who are to follow them. Certainly, Allah willing, we will join you"'."

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
