Fatwa number ( 18599 )
Q: I would like to inquire from your eminence about the authenticity of this statement, given the conspiracies and plots being hatched in secret against our Ummah and our religion, and the attempt to lead the Ummah and Muslims into shirk (associating partners with Allah), God forbid. This statement is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), namely that he said: "Whoever visits my grave, my intercession is obligatory for him" , and he said:. Did these statements actually come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and are they from the authentic books?
A: The hadith narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the wording: "Whoever visits my grave, my intercession is obligatory for him" was narrated by al-Daraqutni from the hadith of Musa ibn Hilaal al-'Abdi. Abu Hatim said: Musa is unknown in terms of his reliability. And al-'Aqeelee said: The hadith of Musa is not authentic, and there is no supporting narration for it, and nothing is authentic in this chapter. Some of the reliable scholars of knowledge, including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah , have clarified that this hadith is among the fabricated hadiths. As for the hadith:, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in (Majmu' al-Fatawa, vol. 1, p. 236): "What is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 695Sahih (Darussalam) This is the authentic and correct version, but some narrated it by meaning and said: 'my grave.' And when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said this, he had not yet been buried, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him. For this reason, none of the Companions used this as evidence; rather, they disputed over the location of his burial. If this had been known to them, it would have been a clear text regarding the point of dispute. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
