Reading from the author's text with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "And making it a festival is gathering at it and habitually visiting it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And making it a festival is gathering at it and habitually visiting it, for a festival is a matter of repetition.
This category is joined by places that are claimed to have special attributes that are not established, such as many graves that are said to be the grave of a prophet, or the grave of a righteous person, or the station of a prophet or a righteous person, and the like. This may be true, and it may be false. Most of the shrines on the face of the earth are of this kind, for the authentic graves and authentic stations are very few. More than one scholar has said: No grave of the prophets is established except the grave of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Others may be established besides this, such as the grave of Ibrahim al-Khalil (peace be upon him). It may be known that the grave "
.

The Shaykh : was known.
The reader: "It may be known that the grave is in that direction, but there is doubt about its exact location, like many of the graves of the Companions at Bab al-Saghir in Damascus, for the land has been altered many times, so designating a grave as the grave of Bilal or another is hardly established except through a specific route, and even if it were established, no legal ruling is attached to it regarding what has been innovated at it ".

The Shaykh : The grave of the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) is undoubtedly known through the certain transmission of the Muslims. Everyone knows that this is the location of the grave of the Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), just as they know that this is the location of the identification and this is Muzdalifah and this is Mina, and they have no doubt about this. As for others, it is not known, even the mosque called Masjid al-Khalil in Palestine; it is not known whether it is it or not, and its directions are not known except the grave of Musa (peace be upon him)
When the Angel of Death came to Musa to take his soul, he thought he was an enemy and struck him until he popped out his eye. The Angel of Death went to the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) and said: O Lord, You sent me to a man who does not want to die, so send him back to Musa. Allah sent him to Musa and said to him: If you wish to remain for a long time, place your hand on the skin of a bull, and for every hair under it, you will have a corresponding number of years. فإن موسى لما جاءه ملك الموت ليقبض روحه ظنه عدو فلطمه حتى فقأ عينه، فذهب ملك الموت إلى الرب عز وجل وقال : يا رب أرسلتني إلى رجل لا يريد الموت، فأرسله الله إلى موسى وقال له: إن شئت أن تبقى مدة طويلة فضع يدك على جلد ثور فما كان تحتها من شعر فلك مثله من السنين
This is the meaning of the hadith
Musa said: Then what? He said: Death is inevitable. So he asked Allah to bring him close to the Holy Land, the land of Palestine, a stone's throw away. Allah gave him what he asked for, then he moved there and died there. The Prophet (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) said: And his grave is at the red sand dune, and if I were there, I would show it to you. قال موسى ثم ماذا ؟ قال الموت لا بد منه، فسأل الله أن يدنيه من الأرض المقدسة أرض فلسطين رمية حجر، فأعطاه الله ما سأل، ثم انتقل إلى هناك ومات هناك، قال النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام: وقبره عند الكثيب الأحمر، ولو كنت ثَم لأريتكم إياه
Here we know the direction, but we do not know the grave itself.
And on this basis, no grave of the prophets is known except the grave of the Seal of the Prophets (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), who is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
