Chapter: What has come concerning the protecting of Al-Mustafaa’ ﷺ the side of Tawheed and preventing every path which leads to Shirk:
And His statement:
لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُم بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
“Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you, for the believers, full of pity, kind, and merciful. But if they turn away, say: “Allaah is sufficient for me. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” [At-Taubah: 128]
And from Abi Hurairah may Allaah be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “Don’t make your houses graveyards, don’t make my grave an ‘Eid, and send salutations upon me, for indeed your salutations reach me wherever you are.” [Reported by Abu Daawud with a Hasan chain, the narrators are trustworthy].
And from ‘Ali bin Al-Hussein: “That he saw a man coming to a gap that was in the grave of the Prophet ﷺ, so he entered in it and made du’aa, so he prohibited him, and said: “Shall I not narrate to you a Hadeeth I heard from my father from my grandfather from the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ, he said: “Don’t make my grave an ‘Eid, nor make your houses graveyards and send salutations upon me, for indeed your salutations reach me wherever you are.” [Reported by Al-Mukhtaarah]
In it are Masaa’il (topics):
The First: Tafseer of the Ayah of Al-Baraa’ah.
The Second: His distancing his ummah from this private pasture an upmost distancing.
The Third: Mentioning his concern for us and his gentleness and mercy.
The Fourth: His prohibiting from visiting graves specifically, with the fact that visiting it is from the best of actions.
The Fifth: His prohibiting from profusely visiting.
The Sixth: His encouragement of doing voluntary prayers in the house.
The Seventh: That it’s established with them that he doesn’t pray in the graveyard.
The Eighth: His reasoning that the salutations of a man and his salaam upon him reaches him not matter how far, so there’s no need for what some mistakenly believe that one has to be close.
The Nineth: Him ﷺ being in the Barzakh and the actions of his ummah being presented to him in sending salutations of Salaat and Salaam upon him.
