Question:
This questioner says that some people tell the one going to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Convey my salam to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
Answer:
My brother, there is no need for this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5:1006. Is there any need? You go to the Messenger, and whoever goes to him greets him. What is the need for [sending it]? And when he saw, when he saw 'Ali ibn al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) seeing a man frequenting the opening of the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "Greet the Messenger." He called him and said: "What are you doing?" He said: "I am greeting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "Do not do that. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Send your prayers upon me wherever you are, for your prayers reach me.' Then he said: 'What are you and the people of Andalusia except a desire.'" Yes.
