Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it explained to the Muslim the supplication for visiting graves, "Peace be upon you, people of the abodes," when passing by the side of the cemetery without entering it, for example by car?
Answer:
Yes, if one passes by the graves while on his way, he should greet the deceased while on his way, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. When he passed by a cemetery, he would face them with his face and say: We are to follow you Sunan an-Nasa'i 2037Sahih (Darussalam). We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you. This is how he did it while passing by. Yes.

Peace be upon you, O people of these dwellings, from among the Muslims and the believers, and we, if Allah wills, are to follow you
السلام عليكم يا أهل الديار من المسلمين والمؤمنين وإنا إن شاء الله بكمMay Allah have mercy upon those who have gone on ahead of us and those who come later on
يرحم الله المستقدمين منا ومنكم، والمستأخرين
