HOW SHOULD I SEND SALAAMS UPON THE MESSENGER WHEN VISITING HIS GRAVE?

Visiting the Mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is not obligatory, but if you want to travel to Madinah in order to pray in the Mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), that is Sunnah.

When you enter the Mosque, pray first, then go to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and say:

“As-salaamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Allaahi wa barakaatuhu, wa sall- Allaahu ‘alayka wa ‘ala aalika wa ashaabika (Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

May Allah bless you and your family and companions).” Send lots of blessings and salaams upon him, because it was reported that he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Send blessings upon me, for your blessings will reach me no matter where you are.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2042).

 Then send salaams upon Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and pray that Allah may be pleased with them.
