1546. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I could not find him, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, and he was in Al-Baqi'. He said: "As-salāmu 'alaykum dāra qawmin mu'minin. Antum lanā faratun wa innā bikum lātiqun. Allāhumma lā tahrimnā ajrahum wa lā taftinnā ba'dahum (Peace be upon you, O abode of believing people. You have gone ahead of us and verily we will join you soon. O Allāh, do not deprive us of their reward and do not put us to trial after them)." (Da'if)

Commentary
a. Visiting the graves is recommended to remember death and to decrease the desire of this world for the interests of the Hereafter.
b. Visiting the graves at night is also allowed just as visiting during the day.
c. The purpose of visiting the graves is to make supplication for the dead, but
begging some thing from the deceased is prohibited, because they neither hear our words nor can they accept our request.
