Visiting Medina
- The Grave
Main Page > The Prophet's
Grave
 1-
When the visitor finishes the greeting rak`ahs, he should go to the Honored
Apartment, face the grave of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and greet him,
saying, "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O the dearest
one to Allah. Peace be upon you, O the best of His creation. I bear witness
that you indeed have delivered the message (of Allah), discharged your trust,
advised the Muslim community, and strived hard in the cause of Allah until there
came unto you the Hour that is certain."
2.
Then, he takes a step to the right
and greets Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq saying, "Peace be upon you, O Abu Bakr. Peace
be upon you, O Second of the two who were in the Cave. Peace be upon you, O
Successor of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)."
3.
Then, he takes another step to
the right and greets Al-Faruq `Umar saying, "Peace be upon you, O Emir of
the Believers. Peace be upon you, O Abu Hafs. Peace be upon you, O Eliminator
of Sedition."
4. Then, he faces
the Qiblah, with his back to the Honored Apartment, and while leaving a place
for others, invokes Allah for his welfare both in this world and in the Hereafter.
