Question:
May Allah reward you with good. We have read this phraseSunan ad-Daraqutni 12:243. Is this a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? This
Answer:
It is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but it is a lie; it is not authentic nor established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In fact, every hadith specifically concerning the visitation of the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is either fabricated or extremely weak, such that it cannot be used as evidence. The scholars of hadith have pointed this out, such as al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, and Taki al-Shaykh Taki Muhammad ibn al-Abd al-Hadi, the great Imam Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Abd al-Hadi, in his book *Al-Sarim al-Manki fi al-Radd 'ala al-Subki*. All of these hadiths are either extremely weak and flimsy, such that they cannot be used as evidence, or they are lies attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
