The ruling on supplicating to be among the visitors of the grave or the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it prescribed for a person to say, “O Allah, make me among the visitors of the grave of Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him),” or to say, “among the visitors of the mosque of Your Prophet”?
Answer:
As far as I know, there is no evidence for this. However, one should strive to visit the mosque of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to pray in it, because prayer in it is worth a thousand prayers in any other place. One should strive to visit it for the sake of praying in it. When he arrives in al-Madinah and enters the mosque, he should greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), following the purpose for which he came, which is prayer in the mosque. There is no need to make this specific supplication. Yes.
