He labels the person who has the ability and ways to visit but refrains, as being disrespectful and deprived. Those who get to visit him ﷺ are indeed amongst the about fortunate. There are numerous sayings of the Prophet ﷺ that highlight the importance of visiting him:

Abdullah ibn Umar I narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Whoever visits my grave, my intercession becomes obligatory for him. ¹ Allamah An-Nawawi says, information technology has been reported past Al- Bazzar and Dar Qutni. Hafiz Ibn Al-Hajar says in Sharh-al-Manasik, it has been reported past Ibn Khuzaymah in his Sahlh. A grouping of muhaddithin including the likes of Shaykh Abd-al-Haq Al-Ishbili in his Al-Ahkam and Shaykh Taqi-ad-Din Every bit-Subki take classified it as authentic. Mulla Ali Qari has as well mentioned in his Sharh-ash-Shifa that a grouping from the a'immah hadith have classified it as authentic.

Abdullah ibn Umar I over again narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Whoever visits me and has no other motive, has a right over me that I intercede on his behalf. ² Allamah Iraqi says in his Sharh-al-Ihya, 'At-Tabrani has narrated this and Ibn-as-Sakan has authenticated it. The author of Ithaf says, 'Shaykh Abd-al-Haq has done the aforementioned together with Shaykh Taqi-ad-Din As-Subki according to overall chain of narrations.'

Hatib I reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Whoever visits me subsequently my death is like he who had visited me during my life. And whoever passes away in either of the two Harams, will exist resurrected from among the ones given safety on the Twenty-four hours of Resurrection. ³ Reported by Dar Qutni and Allamah Adh-Dhahabi in Al-Wafa Al-Wafa has taken its chain to exist skilful.

Abdullah ibn Umar I reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

The person who performs Hajj and then visits my grave after my death, is like he who visited me during my lifetime. ⁴ Reported past Dar Qutni, At-Tabrani and Al-Bayhaqi.

It is related by a person from the family of Khattab that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Whoever undertakes a journey specially to visit me, will be my neighbour on the Day of Sentence. ⁵ Reported past Al-Bayhaqi and it is a mursal hadith. However, Shaykh Taqi-ad-Din Every bit-Subki subsequently elaborating on its different chains of narration has classified information technology as a good mursal.

Ibn Abbas I reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Whoever performs his Hajj in Makkah, then he comes to Madinah with the sole aim of visiting me in my Masjid, for him shall be written (the rewards of) two accepted Hajj. ⁶ Reported by Ad-Daylami as mentioned in Ithaf.

Allah says in the Quran:

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come up to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would accept found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful.

[Surah al-Nisa, 4:64]

The meaning of this verse is not confined to solely his earthly life, but as well refers to his other-worldly lives. The Prophet ﷺ informed us that:

My life is good for yous, you do things and things are washed for you. When I die, my expiry shall exist good for you, for your works shall be shown to me so that when what I encounter is skilful, I shall thank God, but when what I see is evil I shall ask forgiveness for you. ^vii This hadith was transmitted by Bazzar with a sound chain of transmission. Asqalani approved it in his commentary on the compilation of Bukhari, and so did Suyuti in his work on the attributes of the Prophet ﷺ.

The Presence of the Prophet ﷺ

It is clear from the aforementioned transmissions that the Prophet ﷺ is very much alive, aware of the actions of his Ummah and receiving whatever blessings God wishes him to receive. It is a matter beyond dispute that the Prophet ﷺ responds to those who call him, proverb "O Muhammad ﷺ". In a hadith narrated past Abu Hurayra I, the Prophet ﷺ says of Isa S:

When he shall stand before my grave and say, 'O Muhammad!' I shall certainly answer him. ⁸ Abu Ya'la, Musnad, 6449; ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, al-Matalib al-'Aliya, Bab 'Alamat al-sa'a, 4628; al-Hakim, Mustadrak, Kitab Tawarikh al-mutaqqadimin min al-anbiya' wa'l-mursalin, Dhikr nabiy Allah wa ruhuh 'Isa ibn Maryam salawat Allah wa salamuh 'alayh, 4162

The Prophet ﷺ as well said:

None shall ever greet me without God returning my spirit to me, and so that I may answer his greeting. ^nine Abu Dawud, Sunan, Kitab al-Hajj, Bab Ziyarat al-qubur, 1745

In another hadith, the Prophet ﷺ says:

God has appointed to my grave an angel to whom He has given the hearing of all the people, and so that none shall always invoke blessings upon me up until Resurrection Twenty-four hour period without him informing me of his proper name and that of his begetter. 'This is and so and and then, son of so and so, he has invoked blessings upon you.' ¹⁰ Bazzar, Musnad, Musnad Ammar ibn Yasir, 1274

A companion of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Darda I stated that the Prophet ﷺ said:

Invoke blessings upon me in abundance on Fridays, for it shall exist witnessed, the angels witness information technology. None shall invoke blessings upon me without it being shown to me until he is done. 'Fifty-fifty after you die?' asked Abu Darda, to which the Prophet ﷺ replied, Even later on death, for God has forbidden the world to eat the bodies of the Prophets, so that a Prophet of God is alive, receiving his provision. ¹¹ Ibn Maja, Kitab Doc ja fi'l-janaiz, Bab Dhikr wafatih wdafnih salla'llahu 'alayhi wa sallam, 1627.

He ﷺ also said:

For he who invokes blessings upon me before my grave God appoints an angel who conveys them to me, and he is granted all his needs in this world and the next, and I shall be for him an intercessor or a witness. ¹² Bayhaqi, Shu'ab al-Iman,1544, 3997

Many scholars take mentioned, as quoted for instance by Qadi Iyad in al-Shifa, that you should non say, "I visited the tomb," but rather, "I visited the Prophet ﷺ." Imam Malik I alleged: "I practice not approve of the visitor saying, 'I have visited the tomb of the Prophet ﷺ.'"

This is considering the invitee is visiting that person who hears and sees him, who is aware of his presence, recognises him and answers him. Therefore his visitation is not that of a person presenting himself at his tomb, rather it is that of a visitor being welcomed in the house of the Prophet ﷺ.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

Betwixt my house and my pulpit is a meadow of paradise.

The blessed business firm of the Prophet ﷺ remains his firm, even later on his death.

Umar I was greatly pleased past this and requested him to back-trail him to Madinah in guild to present himself at the blessed grave of Prophet ﷺ.

The Adab of the Sahaba

Equally a effect of their immense love for the blessed Prophet ﷺ, the adab of the Sahaba was unparalleled. There are numerous examples of their level of adab:

When the Prophet was mentioned, Malik would abound stake so that it distressed those with him. One day he was asked near this. He said, 'If you lot had seen what I have seen, you would not be surprised at what you see me practice.' ^xx Al-Shifa'

Imam Malik I spent his entire life in Madinah but never rode on any conveyance during his time in the blest city. He used to walk barefoot and say: "I feel aback to bruise this ground with a beast while Rasulullah ﷺ used to walk on it."

Your Adab

To increase your love, yearning and adab for the Prophet ﷺ, inquire yourself the following questions:

Am I aware of what he did for me in the by?

If you're struggling respond these questions, it is vital that you increase your knowledge of the Prophet ﷺ before your visit. This will enable yous to forge a relationship with him and develop a greater attachment to him ﷺ.

Prior to your visit, you should also fulfil the adab of the outward (i.eastward. your appearance).

When your eyes autumn on the green dome, increase your salawat and know that the best of all cosmos and the leader of all the Prophets lies beneath this blessed dome.

It is preferable for women to visit at nighttime.

Entering Masjid Nabawi

It is preferable to enter Masjid Nabawi from Bab Jibrail (the door through which the archangel Jibril Southward would come up into the presence of the Prophet ﷺ) considering it was a addiction of the Prophet ﷺ to enter through this door. Nevertheless, you may enter through any of the other doors.

When y'all arrive the door of the masjid, offer your greetings and wait for a moment before entering – equally if yous're request the permission of the main ﷺ to enter his house.

Enter with your right foot and recite the well-known dua for inbound the masjid:

.بِسْمِ اللهِ، اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ. اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِك

The surface area between my business firm and my mimbar is i of the meadows of Paradise, and my mimbar is on my swimming (al-Hawd). ²¹ Sahih al-Bukhāri, hadīth: 1195, 1196. Sahīh Muslim vol. 9 pp.161-162 (with commentary of Imām al-Nawawī), hadīth: 1390,1391

There are dissimilar opinions most the meanings of these sayings. The majority opinion, according to Imam Malik I and many others, is that the Rawdah area is literally from Paradise.

At the Rawdah, perform ii Rakahs of Tahiyyatul Masjid (prayer of greeting the mosque), providing it isn't one of the makruh times for prayer. It is preferable to recite Sūrah al-Kāfirūn in the first Rakah and Sūrah al-Ikhlās in the 2nd Rakah.

Later on finishing your prayer and dua, make your way out to the southern gallery between Bab al-Salam (the Door of Peace) and Jannatul Baqi. You will be passing before the blessed Prophet ﷺ in but a few minutes to nowadays yourself in forepart of him.

Imam Malik I disliked anyone who said, "I am going to visit the grave of the blessed Prophet ﷺ", because information technology implies that the blessed Prophet ﷺ is dead and unhearing, and if a visitor came to the blessed Prophet ﷺ with that state of heed, he would naturally exist indifferent to feeling that he was in the presence of the blessed Prophet ﷺ. He didn't want us to think we were visiting the grave of the blessed Prophet ﷺ but, rather, that we were coming in his presence. Afterwards, we would exist inspired with awe and reverence for our Beloved Prophet ﷺ.

Equally you enter Bab al-Salam, be conscious of the fact that you lot are walking on the basis that has been blest by the Prophet ﷺ , those pure members of his household, his righteous companions (Sahaba), their followers (Tabi'een), those that followed them (Taba Tabi'een) and the saintly men of God over the centuries. This very ground was blessed by their noble foreheads in prostration day after day.

The Southern Gallery of Masjid Nabawi adorned with the names of the Prophet ﷺ

Subsequently you enter from Bab al-Salam, look to your right and you will encounter the names of the blessed Prophet ﷺ shining with light on the Qibla wall, all the way to the Baqi Door.

Some of the names of the Prophet ﷺ are inscribed in golden on a purple background: Muhammad, Ahmad, Mahmud, Hamid, Wahid, Ahid.

Keep sending prayers and salutations on the Prophet ﷺ until you accomplish him. Maintain adab and lower you gaze in humility. Testify heartfelt shame for all the sins you have committed only remain confident in gaining pardon in the courtroom of the Messenger ﷺ.

The Sacred Chamber of the Prophet ﷺ

As you accomplish the Prophet ﷺ, y'all will see three gold wire-mesh enclosures, with circular holes in each i. Many people are nether the impression the Prophet ﷺ is resting inside the outset enclosure, with Abu Bakr al-SiddiqI in the second and Umar ibn al-Khattab I in the tertiary. This is incorrect – they are all in the heart enclosure.

There are 3 round holes in the middle enclosure and two holes in each of the two enclosures either side of the center 1. The first hole, the largest and the about prominent, situated on the left mitt side of the wire-mesh enclosure directly faces the blest eyebrow of the Prophet ﷺ. Moving slightly to the right, the 2d hole marks the direction of the face of Abu Bakr I and the third pigsty, the face up of Umar I.

In Front of the Prophet ﷺ

Stand a few yards away from the enclosure facing the sacred chamber, with your back towards the Qibla, and plow slightly to the left so that your face is directly in front of the blessed face of the Prophet ﷺ.

Keep your heart free of all worldly thoughts, and accept into consideration that the Prophet's ﷺ blest eyes are upon you, he hears you and is aware of your presence.

Imam Ibn al-Hajj 5 in his book Kitab al-Madkhal says:

One must adopt maximum humility and respect at this time. This is considering Rasulullah'southward ﷺ intercession is guaranteed of acceptance. The person who intended to present himself in his courtroom has fulfilled his objective. The person who presents himself at his threshold is never refused. The person who makes du'a through his wasilah (intercession) is certain to have it accustomed, and he receives whatever he asks for. Experiences of people and incidents are all testimony to this. The person should therefore evidence as much respect as possible.

Mulla Ali Qari V stated:

It is undoubtedly better to invoke blessings close to the blest grave than invoking him from a altitude because the humility and presence of mind and centre when invoking nearby are not found when invoking from a altitude. ²³ Virtues of Invoking Blessings and Virtue on the Noble Prophet ﷺ.

Sending Salam to the Prophet ﷺ

You will now offer your salam to the blest Prophet ﷺ in the best possible fashion. There are numerous ways to offer salams. Some scholars have recommended salams containing unlike themes and words, while others have recommended those salams that are short and concise.

The minimum you should say is:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ
‏Every bit-salāmu 'alayka yā rasūlAllāh.
Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.

When reciting your salam, you must be mindful of the greatness of Rasulullah ﷺ and utter the salam in an average tone. You should not raise your voice loudly as this is extremely disrespectful and demonstrates a lack of adab, nor should you recite your salam too softly. If y'all tin can, picture the Prophet ﷺ standing in forepart of yous in your mind's heart when greeting him.

It isn't compulsory to learn and recite long a salam. If you understand the words and meanings of the salam and feel that your yearning and desire volition increment if y'all were to recite a lengthy salam, then do so. If this is non the case, then instead of repeating a prolonged salam, recite a short salam with absolute yearning, desire, tranquility and decorum. Ensure the salam you're sending resonates with your eye and soul.

The Legitimacy of Tawassul

Information technology is the conventionalities of traditional Sunni Islam that you can supplicate to Allah through diverse means or intermediaries. In Arabic, an intermediary is known as a 'Wasilah' and the human activity of using an intermediary is known every bit 'Tawassul'. The practise of using the righteous servants of Allah every bit a means of gaining proximity to Him or to ask for His help is documented in Hadith literature also every bit by Muslims through the ages. The foremost intermediary for Muslims is the Prophet ﷺ. Unfortunately, this hugely benign and widely proficient deed of worship is today sometimes erroneously regarded as associating partners with Allah. Following are some proofs for the legitimacy of this do.

This accurate tradition is narrated in the books of both al-Nasa'i and Tirmidhi. Uthman ibn Hunaif I narrated that a blind person came to the Prophet ﷺ and requested that he make dua for his eyesight to exist restored. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'If you wish, I will make dua for you, or you could exercise patience, an option that is better for you.' The person replied and said, 'Please make dua for me.' The Prophet ﷺ instructed him to perform wudhu perfectly and make the following dua:

اللهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْئَلُكَ وَأَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ
يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّيْ أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ إِلَى رَبِّيْ فِيْ حَاجَتِيْ لِيَقْضِيْ لِيْ
اَللَّهُمَّ شَفِّعْهُ فِيَّ
Allāhumma innī as'aluka wa atawajjahu ilayka bi nabīyyika Muḥammadin ‏ṣallā llāhu 'alayhi wa sallama nabiyya r-raḥma.
Yā Muḥammad(u) innī atawajjahu bika ila rabbī fī ḥājatī liyaqḍī lī.
Allāhumma shaffi'hu fī.
O Allah! I ask You and I turn to You lot using Your Prophet, the Prophet of mercy every bit an intermediary.
O Muhammad! I plow to my Lord by means of you for my need, that He fulfils it.
O Allah! Accept his intercession in my favour. ²⁴ Tirmidhi, vol. five p.388, hadith: 3578. Ibn Majah, vol. 1 p. 441, hadith: 1385.

Through the virtue of the Prophet's ﷺ supplication, the blind man's vision was restored. It is recommended to read this dua later greeting the Prophet ﷺ.

This next account is reported by Atabi V who narrates: "I was sitting in the Rawdah, when a Bedouin came and said:

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ سَمِعْتُ اللهَ يَقُوْلُ "وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَحِيمًا" وَقَدْ جِئْتُكَ مُسْتَغْفِرَاً مِنْ ذَنْبِيْ مُسْتَشْفِعَاً بِكَ إِلى رَبِّيْ
As-salāmu 'alayka yā rasūl llāh, sami'tu llāha yaqūlu "wa police annahum idh ‏‏ẓalamu anfusahum jā'uka fa s-taghfaru llāha wa s-taghfara lahumu r-rasūlu lawajadu llāha tawwāban raḥīma" wa qad ji'tuka mustaghfiran min dhanbī mustashfi'an bika ila rabbī.
Peace exist upon you, O Messenger of Allah! I heard Allah maxim (in His Book):
"And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, (O Muhammad), and asked forgiveness o f Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would take establish Allah accepting of repentance and Merciful."
And I accept come to You repenting from my sins and seeking your intercession to my Lord.

He then recited the following verse form:

يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دُفِنَتَ بِالقَاعِ أَعْظُمُهُ
فَطَابَ مِنْ طِيْبِهِنَّ الْقَاعُ وَالْأَكَمُ
نَفْسِيْ الْفِدَاءُ لِقَبْرٍ أَنْتَ سَاكِنُهُ
فِيْهِ الْعَفَافُ وَفِيْهِ الْجُوْدُ وَالْكَرَمُ

Yā khayra man dufinata bil qā'i a'ẓumuhu,
Fa ‏ṭaba man ‏ṭībihinna fifty-qā'u wa l-akamu,
Nafsī l-fida'u liqabrin anta sākinuhu,
Fīhi l-'afāfu wa fīhi l-jūdu wa 50-karam.

O one cached in the nigh noble of ground,
Its (that is, the grave's) fragrance has scented all the land and mountains.
May my life be sacrificed for the grave of which you are the occupant.
In it at that place is purity, generosity and nobility.

The Bedouin so left and I fell asleep. In my dream I saw the Prophet ﷺ who said to me, 'O 'Atabi! Convey to that bedouin the glad tidings that Allah, the Exalted Ane, has forgiven his sins." ²⁵ Tafsir Ibn Kathir, vol. 1. p 519 (commentary of affiliate 4, poesy 64) al-Adhkar al-Nawawi: p. 336.

Farewell Visit

Upon leaving Madinah, humbly nowadays yourself at the blessed tomb of the Prophet ﷺ ane terminal time. Make the following dua before leaving:

O Allah! Let me die in a state of Iman following the Sunnah in the city of Madinah and allow me to be cached in Jannatul Baqi.

Tips and Advice

Do not waste any time during your stay in Madinah and spend as much fourth dimension equally you can in Masjid Nabawi. Some choose to spend their entire stay in Madinah in close proximity to the Prophet ﷺ.
Spend fourth dimension your time in the mosque performing Salah, reciting Quran and sending Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
Whenever you pass the tomb of the Prophet ﷺ, whether from within or outside Masjid Nabawi, stop and offering salam before continuing.
