1053. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by the graves of Al-Madinah, so he turned his face towards them and said: (As-Salāmu 'alaikum yā ahlul-qubūr! Yaghfirul-lāhu lanā wa lakum, antum salafunā wa nahnu bil-athar.) 'Peace be upon you O inhabitants of the grave! May Allāh forgive us and you; you are our predecessors and we are to follow you.'" (Da'if)[1]
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Buraidah and 'Aishah.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) the Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Gharīb Hadīth. Abū Kudaibah's name is Yaḥya bin Al-Muhallab, and Abū Zabyān's name is Ḥuṣain bin Jundab.

Commentary
In this narration it has been mentioned that the purpose of going to a graveyard is just a reminder of death, and to ask Allāh's blessings for the dead and for oneself. Nowadays we see people going to graves asking their various needs from the dead which is clear Shirk.
