1571. It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, "I used to forbid you to visit the graves, but now visit them, for they will draw your attention away from this world and remind you of the Hereafter." (Da'if)
1571 - حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ، فَزُورُوهَا؛ فَإِنَّهَا تُزَهِّدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَتُذَكِّرُ الْآخِرَةَ»

a. As the commandments mentioned in some earlier revealed Verses of the Qur'ān are abrogated by the later revealed Verses, similarly a later Hadith abrogates the earlier one as known clearly from this Hadith. b. Earning one's livelihood by legal means, and spending without arrogance and extravagance for oneself, and for one's dependents is well and good. But being covetous for wealth and an excessive luxurious lifestyle make a person heedless of the Hereafter. For the treatment of this type of disease of the heart, one should visit the graveyard, so that he will remember his death and it will create a spirit and interest for the preparation of Hereafter.
