Chapter 21 · Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)فِي زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيَسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ، فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي تَعَالَى عَلَى أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي، فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا، فَأَذِنَ لِي، فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ، فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُ بِالْمَوْتِ .

Narrated Abu Hurairah:
The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم visited his mother's grave and wept and cause those around him to weep. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said: I asked my Lord's permission to pray for forgiveness for her, but I was not allowed. I then asked His permission to visit her grave, and I was allowed. So visit graves, for they make one mindful of death.
