The scholars said that visiting the Prophet's Mosque is for the mosque, not for the Messenger. And there is a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever visits me after my death, etc.?

Question:
Many scholars have said that the visit is to the Prophet's Mosque; the visit is to the mosque only, not to the Messenger. And where it is mentioned in the hadith, the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and I am alive.

Answer:
The visit to the Prophet's Mosque, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, one does not pitch his tent except in the mosques, so if the visit involves pitching the tent, it is for the mosque. But if the visit is in Madinah and does not require pitching the tent, does not require travel, then this person visits the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is a recommended practice to visit it, and it is the most noble of graves. So visiting the Chamber is like visiting the other graves, indeed it is more present because of the remembrance of his life (peace and blessings be upon him), his work of conveying and calling to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and visiting the two noble Companions, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, but without shirk (associating partners with Allah). As for this hadith that whoever visits him after his death, and what was heard in his life, it is a fabricated hadith according to the scholars of knowledge, it is not authentic. And likewise, whoever performed Hajj and did not visit me, he has been rejected, it is a fabricated hadith, not authentic. Thus, the hadiths that came regarding visiting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are all weak according to the scholars of knowledge, and some of the critics have affirmed that they are fabricated. Among them is the one I mentioned: whoever visits me after my death, and he used to visit me in my life. Whoever performed Hajj and did not visit me, it is said. Whoever visited me and visited before the command of Abu Ibrahim in one year, Paradise was extended to him by Allah. All of these are hadiths that are not authentic.
