Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And in Musnad Ibn Abi Shaybah, from Abu Hurayrah, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 934. Al-Daraqutni narrated it with its meaning. And in al-Nasa'i and others, from him (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: up to other hadiths"
The Shaykh : His saying: Do you have a second copy?
The reader: I have, may Allah reward you, in the printed edition it is 'upon me,' and 'at my grave' is missing.
The Shaykh : No, then we combine them,Mishkat al-Masabih 934
The reader: Shall we add it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: I say we add it in the.
The Shaykh : Yes, a correction.
The reader: "Mishkat al-Masabih 934, Al-Daraqutni narrated it with its meaning, and in al-Nasa'i and others, from him (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: up to other hadiths in this chapter, which are numerous.
Then, the best of the Tabi'un from his family, 'Ali ibn al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), forbade that man from specifically seeking to make du'a at his grave (peace and blessings be upon him), and he cited the hadith as evidence. He was the narrator of the hadith he had heard from his father al-Husayn, from his grandfather 'Ali, and he was more knowledgeable of its meaning than others, so he clarified that his intention for du'a and the like was to make it a festival.
Likewise, his cousin Hasan ibn Hasan, the Shaykh of the People of the House, disliked that a man should intend to go to the grave to greet him or the like when entering the mosque, and he considered that to be making it a festival.
So look at this Sunnah and how it was transmitted by the people of Madinah and the People of the House, who have closeness in lineage and closeness in residence to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because they are in greater need of it than others, so they were more precise regarding it".
If anyone invokes a blessing on me at my grave I shall hear him, and if anyone invokes a blessing on me at a distance I shall have it conveyed to me.
من صلى عند قبري سمعته، ومن صلى علي نائياً بُلغتهIndeed, Allah has assigned angels to my grave to convey to me the greetings of my Ummah
إن الله وكل بقبري ملائكة يبلغوني عن أمتي السلامThe Shaykh : His saying:
Whoever sends blessings upon me at my grave
من صلى عند قبريThe reader: I have, may Allah reward you, in the printed edition it is 'upon me,' and 'at my grave' is missing.
The Shaykh : No, then we combine them,
If anyone invokes a blessing on me at my grave
