The questioner : Many of the common people are unaware of the narrated supplication when men visit the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or the graves of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Please tell us about this supplication, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, the narrated supplication includes:.
The purpose of visiting graves is to take a lesson, to be admonished, and to make supplication for the people in the graves. It is not intended to seek blessing from their soil, to call upon them, or to believe that supplication near them is more likely to be answered, or anything similar to what many ignorant people think. If a person does not know the narrated supplication for visiting graves, he can, or it is possible for him to, supplicate with whatever he wishes.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : Because the purpose is supplication, or because one of the purposes of the visit is supplication for the people in the graves. Yes.

We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you. O Allah, do not deprive us of their reward, and do not test us after them, and forgive us and them.
