Repeatedly visiting the Prophet’s grave every time one enters the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person enters the mosque in Makkah with the intention of visiting the mosque of the one who is pleased with Allah, and prays ten rak'ahs in the mosque, is it from the Sunnah for him to go and visit the chest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? May Allah be pleased with both of them. Does he do this every time he enters, or is this a practice after the prayer of salutation upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to make his chest a defect?

Answer:
This is not from the Sunnah. Repeating the news is not from the Sunnah. You have not contradicted them in this. The first time, when the traveler arrives and prays in the mosque, he greets the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his two companions, and the Muslims among the poor and the martyrs. But as for going to the grave and greeting him every time he enters the mosque, is this not contrary to the practice of the Salaf? It is making his grave a festival, because a festival is what is repeated and returns. So repeating the greeting, as mentioned, is making it a festival.
