Is visiting the Cave of Hira prescribed for the sake of admonition and lesson?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is visiting the Cave of Hira prescribed for the sake of admonition and lesson?

Answer:
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not visit it after the revelation, and none of the Companions visited it. So visiting it, seeking blessing from it, and intending that is a bid'ah (religious innovation). This is a bid'ah because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not visit it after the revelation. He only went to it for a need before the revelation. For a need, not because this cave has a special quality and a blessing in it. No, it was for a need, a need like the Cave of Thawr. He only took refuge in it for a need, to hide from the polytheists. He did not intend it because it is blessed, as the superstitious people say. Visiting the Cave of Hira, the Cave of Thawr, or any place where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sat or descended is not prescribed for this reason. This is an exaggeration and one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
