Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "Allah the Exalted said regarding the hypocrites: [At-Tawbah 9:84]"
The Shaykh : This benefit may not be easily available; he begins with the general in funeral matters, then with the specific. Therefore, if it were noted in the margin of some of the books of the jurists. Yes.
The reader: "So when Allah forbade His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from offering prayer over them and standing at their graves because of their disbelief, that indicates, by way of the reason and the implication, that a believer is offered prayer over and one stands at his grave"
The Shaykh : And one stands at it.
The reader: Listen "that a believer is offered prayer over and one stands at his grave. For this reason, in the Sunan it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)".
The Shaykh : But he does not say it by invoking on behalf of the people, as some of the ignorant do now, invoking on behalf of the people and saying: "O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, grant him steadfastness." Rather, he was commanded to seek forgiveness for him and ask for steadfastness for him, and every person makes that supplication for himself in his heart. Yes.
And do not pray [the funeral prayer, O Muhammad], over any of them who has died - ever - or stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger

He used to stand at the grave of a man from his Companions when he was buried, and then say: "Ask for steadfastness for him, for he is now being asked"
كان إذا دفن الرجل من أصحابه يقوم على قبره، ثم يقول : سلوا له التثبيت فإنه الآن يسألThe Shaykh : But he does not say it by invoking on behalf of the people, as some of the ignorant do now, invoking on behalf of the people and saying: "O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, grant him steadfastness." Rather, he was commanded to seek forgiveness for him and ask for steadfastness for him, and every person makes that supplication for himself in his heart. Yes.
