She -asws was going to the graves of the martyrs twice very week, the Mondays and the Thursdays, so she -asws would be saying: ‘Over here was Rasool-Allah -saww , and over there were the Polytheists’. وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَبَانٌ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي هُنَاكَ وَ تَدْعُو حَتَّى مَاتَتْ ( عليها السلام ) .
And in another report of Aban, from the one who informed him, from Abu Abdullah -asws , that Syeda -asws used to Pray Salaat over there and supplicated until when she -asws passed away’. [13] How to greet people of graves? عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ التَّسْلِيمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ تَقُولُ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘How to greet upon the inhabitants of the graves?’ So he -asws said: ‘Yes, you should be saying, السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَ نَحْنُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ ‘The greetings be upon the people of the houses, from the Muslims and the Believers!
You have preceded us and we, Allah -azwj Willing, would be joining you’. [14] What to recite when visiting a grave?
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ كُنْتُ بِفَيْدَ فَمَشَيْتَ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بِلَالٍ إِلَى قَبْرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ بِلَالٍ قَالَ لِي صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ أَمِنَ يَوْمَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ أَوْ يَوْمَ الْفَزَعِ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad who said, ‘I was in Fayd (place), and I walked along with Ali Bin Bilal to the grave of Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e. So Ali Bin Bilal said to me, ‘The inhabitant of this grave narrated from Al-Reza -asws saying: ‘The one who comes to the grave of his brother, then places his hand upon the grave and recites [97:1] We have indeed revealed this in the Night of Predestination seven times, would be secure from the great panic’, or ‘the Day of panic’’.
