What is the difference between sending peace upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from another country other than al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, given that the angels convey the peace according to the text of the hadith, and standing before his grave (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The questioner : The questioner:The questioner : He said: What is the difference between sending peace upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from another country other than al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, given that the angels convey the peace according to the text of the hadith, and standing before his grave (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh : The truth is that there is no difference, and there are hadiths that confirm this. I mentioned some of them previously in my book "Warning the Prostrator from Taking Graves as Mosques." It was reported from some of the People of the House that he saw a man sitting next to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he asked him about the reason for his sitting so close to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "He is sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." He answered him: The prayer of the one who prays is the same whether he is here or in al-Andalus. This is because among the special attributes of our Prophet (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him), and by which Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) preferred him over his brothers the prophets and messengers before him, is that as he said: , indeed Allah has angels who travel and move about in the entire world, conveying to me the peace of my Ummah. So there is no difference between one who sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his mosque and at his grave, and one who sends blessings here and there in the farthest corners of the lands, because the angels are assigned to convey the blessings upon him (peace and blessings be upon him) to him, and they perform this duty excellently.
And this actually reminds me of something that I think it is useful to mention for the first time. When I was written to travel to the Hijaz and to perform the obligatory Hajj for the first time, then I came to get my passport and the responsible officer signed it, he saw that the matter involved entering al-Madinah. He said: I want something from you.
I said to him: Please.
He said: When you arrive there safely, convey my peace to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The situation at that time was better than it is now, unfortunately.
The lands have changed and those upon them, *** And the face of the earth is dusty and ugly.
So I said to him: Shall I not point you to what is better for you than what you are advising me to do?
He said: Please.
I said: I am a human being; I may not reach al-Madinah due to one reason or more, or I may reach it and not remember. Shall I not point you to what is better than that?
He said: Please.
I said: Send blessings upon him now; it reaches him now, meaning faster than the lowering of the gaze. And I mentioned to him this hadith: , so these are assigned by the Lord of the Worlds solely to convey the peace of our Ummah to our Prophet (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him).
It is also good to point out with the hadith: "Whoever sends blessings upon me from afar, it is conveyed to me, and whoever sends blessings upon me near me, I hear it." This is a fabricated hadith with no basis. I had traced it scientifically in the first part—I do not remember—of "The Chain of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths and Their Bad Effect on the Ummah."
