Farewell to the Gravesite of the Holy Prophet May Allah Grant Salawat (Favors and Compensation to Muhammad and His Family Worthy of Their Services to His Cause)

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you decide to depart al-Madinah, then take a shower and go to the gravesite of the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, after attending to your other affairs. You should do what you had done at the time you entered and say, “O Allah, do not make it my last visit of the gravesite of Your Holy Prophet. If You will cause me to die before my next visit, I testify when I die to what I have testified in my lifetime that no one other than You deserves worship and Muhammad is Your servant and messenger.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about how to say farewell to the grave of the Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. He (the Imam) replied, say, ‘I pray to Allah to grant you compensation worthy of Your services to His cause. I appeal before Allah not to make this my last salutation to you.’”
