Hadith.3157 - It is narrated by Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Daylami from Ibrahim ibn Abi Hujr al-Aslami from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), who said that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) stated: "Whoever comes to Mecca for Hajj and does not visit me in Medina, I will show him indifference on the Day of Judgment. And whoever visits me as a pilgrim, my intercession will be guaranteed for him. And whoever is guaranteed my intercession is guaranteed Paradise. Whoever dies in one of the two sanctuaries, Mecca or Medina, will not be subjected to the presentation or accounting and will die as a migrant to Allah (swt), the Almighty, and will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment with the people of Badr."

[اتيان المدينة] إذا دخلت المدينة فاغتسل قبل أن تدخلها أو حين تدخلها، ثم ائت قبر - النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وادخل المسجد من باب جبرئيل عليه السلام، فإذا دخلت فسلم على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ثم قم عند الأسطوانة المقدمة من جانب القبر من عند زاوية القبر وأنت مستقبل القبلة، ومنكبك الأيسر إلى جانب القبر ومنكبك الأيمن مما يلي المنبر فإنه موضع رأس النبي صلى الله عليه وآله، ثم تقول: " أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله، وأشهد أنك رسول الله، وأشهد أنك محمد بن عبد الله ، وأشهد أنك قد بلغت رسالات ربك ونصحت لامتك وجاهدت في سبيل الله، وعبدت الله مخلصا حتى أتاك اليقين، ودعوت إلى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنة، وأديت الذي عليك من الحق، وأنك قد رؤفت بالمؤمنين وغلظت على الكافرين فبلغ الله بك أشرف محل المكرمين، الحمد لله الذي استنقذنا بك من الشرك والضلالة، اللهم اجعل صلواتك وصلوات ملائكتك المقربين وعبادك الصالحين وأنبيائك المرسلين وأهل السماوات والأرضين ومن سبح لك يا رب العالمين من الأولين والآخرين على محمد عبدك ورسولك ونبيك وأمينك ونجيك وحبيبك وصفيك و خاصتك وصفوتك من بريتك وخيرتك من خلقك، اللهم وأعطه الدرجة والوسيلة من الجنة وابعثه مقاما محمودا يغبطه بن الأولون والآخرون، اللهم إنك قلت وقولك الحق: " ولو أنهم إذ ظلموا أنفسهم جاؤوك فاستغفروا الله واستغفر لهم الرسول لوجدوا الله توابا رحيما " وإني أتيت نبيك مستغفرا تائبا من ذنوبي، يا رسول الله إني أتوجه بك إلى الله ربي وربك ليغفر لي ذنوبي ". وإن كانت لك حاجة فاجعل النبي صلى الله عليه وآله خلف كتفيك واستقبل القبلة وارفع يديك وسل حاجتك فإنك حري أن تقضى لك إن شاء الله تعالى. ثم قل وأنت مسند ظهرك إلى المروة الخضراء الدقيقة العرض مما يلي القبر وأنت مسند إليه مستقبل القبلة: " اللهم إليك ألجأت أمري وإلى قبر محمد عبدك رسولك صلواتك عليه وآله أسندت ظهري والقبلة التي رضيت لمحمد صلى الله عليه وآله اسقبلت، اللهم إني أصحبت لا أملك لنفسي خير ما أرجو لها، ولا أدفع عنها شر ما أحذر عليها، وأصبحت الأمور بيدك، فلا فقير أفقر مني إني لما أنزلت إلي من خير فقير، اللهم ارددني منك بخير، لا راد لفضلك، اللهم إني أعوذ بك من أن تبدل اسمي، وأن تغير جسمي، أو تزيل نعمتك عني، اللهم زيني بالتقوى، وجملني بالنعمة، و اغمرني بالعافية، وارزقني شكرك.

VISITING MEDINA When you enter Medina, perform ghusl (ritual purification) before entering or upon entering. Then proceed to the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). Enter the mosque through the Gate of Jibreel (as). Upon entering, offer salutations to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family). Stand by the pillar closest to the grave, near the corner, facing the qibla, with your left shoulder towards the grave and your right shoulder facing the minbar (pulpit). This is the position of the Prophet's head. Then say: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah (swt), and He has no partner. I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah (swt). I bear witness that you are Muhammad, the son of Abdullah. I bear witness that you have conveyed the messages of your Lord (azj), advised your community, struggled in the way of Allah (swt), and worshipped Allah (swt) sincerely until certainty (death) came to you. You called towards the path of your Lord (azj) with wisdom and good exhortation. You fulfilled your obligations, showed compassion to the believers, and were stern against the disbelievers. Allah (swt) raised you to the highest station among the honored. Praise be to Allah (swt), who saved us through you from polytheism and misguidance. O Allah (swt), send Your blessings upon Muhammad, Your servant, Messenger, Prophet, trustee, confidant, beloved, chosen one, and the best of Your creation. Bestow upon him and elevate his station in Paradise, granting him the praised position that the first and the last will envy. O Allah (swt), indeed, You have said, and Your word is the truth: "And had they, when they wronged themselves, come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah (swt), and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah (swt) Accepting of Repentance and Merciful." O Messenger of Allah (swt), I have come to your presence seeking forgiveness, repenting from my sins. O Messenger of Allah (swt), I seek your intercession before Allah (swt), your Lord (azj) and mine, that He may forgive my sins. If you have a personal need or prayer, turn your back to the Prophet’s grave, face the qibla, raise your hands, and ask for your need. It is very likely that your request will be granted, God willing. Then say, while resting your back against the green and slender wall next to the grave, facing the qibla: "O Allah (swt), I have entrusted my affairs to You and turned my back towards the grave of Muhammad, Your servant and Messenger, upon whom be Your blessings and his family. I am facing the qibla that You approved for Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family. O Allah (swt), I acknowledge that I have no control over the good I hope for myself, nor the ability to avert the harm I fear upon myself. All affairs rest in Your hands. No one is poorer than me. Truly, I am in need of whatever good You send to me. O Allah (swt), let me return from Your presence with goodness, for there is no one to turn back Your bounty. O Allah (swt), I seek refuge in You from having my name replaced, my body altered, or Your blessings removed from me. O Allah (swt), adorn me with piety, beautify me with blessings, envelop me in well-being, and grant me the ability to thank You."

[اتيان المنبر] ثم ائت المنبر فامسح عينيك ووجهك برمانتيه فإنه يقال: إنه شفاء للعين، وقم عنده واحمد الله واثن عليه وسل حاجتك.

[Coming to the Pulpit] Then approach the pulpit and rub your eyes and face with its knobs, as it is said to be a cure for the eyes. Stand near it, praise and thank Allah (swt), and ask for your needs.

3158 - فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ : «مَا بَيْنَ قَبْرِي وَ مِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ إِنَّ مِنْبَرِي عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ مِنْ تُرَعِ اَلْجَنَّةِ ».

Hadith.3158 - It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, said: "Between my grave and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is upon one of the pathways to Paradise."

[الصوم بالمدينة والاعتكاف عند الأساطين] إن كان لك بالمدينة مقام ثلاثة أيام صمت يوم الأربعاء وصليت ليلة الأربعاء عند أسطوانة التوبة وهي أسطوانة أبي لبابة التي ربط نفسه إليها وتقعد عندها يوم الأربعاء، ثم تأتي ليلة الخميس الأسطوانة التي تليها مما يلي مقام النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فتقعد عندها ليلتك ويومك وتصوم يوم الخميس، ثم تأتي الأسطوانة التي تلي مقام النبي صلى الله عليه وآله ومصلاه ليلة الجمعة فتصلي عندها ليلتك ويومك وتصوم يوم الجمعة، وإن استطعت أن لا تتكلم بشئ هذه الأيام إلا بما لا بد منه ولا تخرج من المسجد إلا لحاجة ولا تنام في ليل ولا نهار إلا القليل فافعل، واحمد الله عز وجل يوم الجمعة واثن عليه وصل على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله، ثم سل حاجتك، ثم قل: " اللهم ما كانت لي إليك من حاجة شرعت في طلبها والتماسها أو لم أشرع، سألتكها أو لم أسألكها فإني أتوجه إليك بنبيك محمد نبي الرحمة في قضاء حوائجي صغيرها وكبيرها ".

FASTING IN MEDINA AND DEVOTION AT THE PILLARS If you plan to stay in Medina for three days, fast on Wednesday and pray on the night of Wednesday at the Pillar of Repentance (As-Sawt Al-Tawba), which is the pillar where Abu Lubaba tied himself. Sit by this pillar on Wednesday. On the night of Thursday, move to the pillar adjacent to it near the station of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, and spend your night and day there. Fast on Thursday. On the night of Friday, go to the pillar next to the station of the Prophet and his place of prayer. Spend your night and day there in worship and fast on Friday. If you can avoid speaking during these days except for what is necessary and refrain from leaving the mosque except for needs, and if you can minimize sleep both day and night, then do so. On Friday, praise and thank Allah (swt), send blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, then ask for your needs. Recite the following: "O Allah (swt), for any need I have with You, whether I have sought it or not, whether I have expressed it or kept silent, I now turn to You with Your Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy, to fulfill my needs, both great and small."

VISITING FATIMAH {s.a}, DAUGHTER OF THE PROPHET (sw) (PEACE BE UPON HER AND UPON HER FATHER (sw), HUSBAND (as), AND SONS (as)) The compiler of this book—may Allah (swt) have mercy on him—stated: There are differing narrations regarding the burial place of Fatimah, the Lady of the Worlds, peace be upon her. Some narrations state that she was buried in al-Baqi‘. Others suggest that she was buried between the Prophet’s grave and his pulpit, and that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: “What is between my grave and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise” because her grave lies between the two. Another set of narrations claims that she was buried in her house. When the Umayyads expanded the mosque, her burial site became part of the mosque. This last opinion is the one I consider to be correct. When I performed Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah (swt), my return journey took me to Madinah through the grace of Allah (swt), the Exalted. After completing my visitation to the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, I went to the house of Fatimah, peace be upon her. It lies from the column near the entrance through the Gate of Archangel Jibril (as) extending to the rear of the sacred enclosure that houses the grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. I stood near the enclosure, to its left side, with my back facing the Qiblah and my face directed towards her resting place. I performed this while in a state of ritual purification and recited: "Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Prophet of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Beloved of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Friend of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Chosen of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Trustworthy of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of Allah’s (swt) creation. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the most excellent of Allah’s (swt) Prophets, Messengers, and Angels. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of creation. Peace be upon you, O Mistress of the women of the worlds, from the first to the last. Peace be upon you, O wife of the Friend of Allah (swt) and the best of creation after the Messenger of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O mother of Hasan and Husayn, the chiefs of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon you, O truthful martyr. Peace be upon you, O content and satisfied one. Peace be upon you, O virtuous and pure one. Peace be upon you, O heavenly human. Peace be upon you, O pious and pure one. Peace be upon you, O learned and inspired one. Peace be upon you, O oppressed and usurped one. Peace be upon you, O persecuted and subdued one. Peace be upon you, O Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (swt). May the mercy and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon you." "Peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon you, upon your soul, and upon your body. I testify that you departed this world upon clear guidance from your Lord (azj). Verily, whoever pleases you has pleased the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family; whoever distances themselves from you has distanced themselves from the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family; whoever harms you has harmed the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family; whoever connects with you has connected with the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family; and whoever severs ties with you has severed ties with the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family. For you are a part of him, his very essence, as he, peace and blessings be upon him, has said, 'You are his soul which resides between his sides.' I call upon Allah (swt), His messengers, and His angels as witnesses that I am pleased with those whom you are pleased with, I am displeased with those whom you are displeased with, I disassociate myself from those from whom you have disassociated yourself, I maintain loyalty to those whom you have allied with, I oppose those whom you oppose, I detest those whom you detest, and I love those whom you love. And Allah (swt) suffices as a Witness, Reckoner, and Rewarder." "O Allah (swt), bless and send peace upon Your servant and Messenger Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the best of all creation. Bless the Successor, Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Commander of the Faithful, the leader of the Muslims, and the best of successors. Bless Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, the mistress of the women of the worlds. Bless the two leaders of the youth of Paradise, Hasan and Husayn. Bless Ali ibn Husayn, the adornment of worshippers. Bless Muhammad ibn Ali, the expositor of the knowledge of the Prophets. Bless Ja'far ibn Muhammad, the truthful about Allah (swt). Bless Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim, who restrained anger for Allah (swt). Bless Ali ibn Musa, the contented. Bless Muhammad ibn Ali, the pious. Bless Ali ibn Muhammad, the pure. Bless Hasan ibn Ali, the righteous. And bless the Hujjah (the Proof), the Awaited, son of Hasan ibn Ali. O Allah (swt), give life to the earth with justice through him and destroy tyranny through him. Adorn the earth with the extension of his reign and manifest Your religion and the Sunnah of Your Prophet through him so that no aspect of the truth remains concealed out of fear of any of Your creation. Include us among his supporters, followers, and those accepted among his allies, O Lord (azj) of the worlds. O Allah (swt), bless Muhammad and his household, whom You have purified and removed all impurity from thoroughly.

[اتيان المشاهد وقبور الشهداء] ولا تدع أن تأتي المشاهد كلها: مسجد قبا، ومشربة أم إبراهيم، ومسجد الفضيخ وقبور الشهداء، ومسجد الأحزاب وهو مسجد الفتح، وتطوع فيها بما أحببت من الصلاة. وإذا أتيت قبور الشهداء فقل: " السلام عليكم بما صبرتم فنعم عقبى الدار " وإذا أتيت مسجد الفتح فقل: " يا صريخ المكروبين ويا مجيب [دعوة] المضطرين اكشف عني غمي وهمي وكربي كما كشفت عن نبيك صلواتك عليه وآله همه وغمه وكربه وكفيته هول عدوه في هذا المكان.

VISITING THE HOLY SHRINES AND GRAVES OF THE MARTYRS And ensure that you visit all the significant places: the Quba Mosque, Mashrabat Umm Ibrahim, Masjid Al-Fadhikh, the graves of the martyrs, and Masjid Al-Ahzab, also known as Masjid Al-Fath. Perform voluntary prayers at these locations as you desire. When you reach the graves of the martyrs, recite: 'Peace be upon you for your patience, and how excellent is the final abode.' When you reach Masjid Al-Fath, say: 'O Responder to the cries of the distressed, O Answerer of the supplications of the afflicted, relieve me of my sorrow, distress, and grief as You relieved Your Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him and his family—of his sorrow, distress, and grief, and as You protected him from the terror of his enemies in this place.'"

[توديع قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وآله ومنبره] فإذا أردت أن تخرج من المدينة فائت موضع رأس النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فسلم عليه، ثم ائت المنبر وصل عنده على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله ما استطعت وادع لنفسك بما أحببت للدين والدنيا، ثم ارجع إلى قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وألزق منكبك الأيسر بالقبر قريبا من الأسطوانة التي دون الأسطوانة المخلفة عند رأس النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فصل ست ركعات أو ثمان ركعات واقرأ في كل ركعة الحمد وسورة واقنت في كل ركعتين، فإذا فرغت منها استقبلت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وقلت مودعا له عليه السلام: " صلى الله عليك السلام عليك لا جعله الله آخر تسليمي عليك، اللهم لا تجعله آخر العهد من زيارة قبر نبيك صلواتك عليه وآله وإن توفيتني قبل ذلك فاني أشهد في مماتي على ما أشهد في حياتي أن لا إله إلا أنت وأن محمدا عبدك ورسولك.

FAREWELL TO THE GRAVE OF THE PROPHET (sw), AND HIS MINBAR (PULPIT) When you wish to leave the city of Medina, go to the place of the Prophet's (peace be upon him and his family) head and offer salutations to him. Then, proceed to the pulpit, and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) as much as you can. Pray for yourself regarding matters of religion and the world as you wish. Afterward, return to the Prophet's grave (peace be upon him and his family), aligning your left shoulder close to the grave near the pillar that is just before the farther pillar at the head of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family). Pray six or eight units of prayer, reciting Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah in each unit, and perform qunoot (supplication) in every two units. When you complete the prayers, turn towards the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and bid him farewell by saying: "Peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon you. May Allah (swt) not make this my final farewell to you. O Allah (swt), do not make this my last visit to the grave of Your Prophet, blessings be upon him and his family. If You take me away before another visit, I bear witness at the time of my death as I do in my life that there is no deity but You and that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger."

VISITING THE GRAVES OF THE IMAM HASAN IBN ALI IBN ABI TALIB (as), IMAM ALI IBN AL-HUSAYN (as), IMAM MUHAMMAD IBN ALI AL-BAQIR (as), AND IMAM JA'FAR IBN MUHAMMAD IMAM JAFAR IBN MUHAMMAD AL-SADIQ (as) IN AL-BAQI When you arrive at the graves of the Imams (as) in Al-Baqi‘, place yourself before them and recite: "Peace be upon you, O Imams of guidance. Peace be upon you, O people of piety. Peace be upon you, O proofs of Allah (swt) upon the inhabitants of the earth. Peace be upon you, O those who uphold justice among creation. Peace be upon you, O people of purity. Peace be upon you, O companions of the divine secrets. I bear witness that you conveyed the message, advised sincerely, endured patiently for the sake of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted. You were denied and wronged, yet you forgave. I bear witness that you are the rightly guided Imams, and that obedience to you is obligatory, your words are truthful, and that you called but were not answered, you commanded but were not obeyed. You are the pillars of religion and the foundations of the earth. You have always been under Allah’s (swt) watchful gaze, transferred from the loins of the purified to the wombs of the chaste. The ignorance of the ignorant era did not defile you, nor did the tribulations of desires affect you. Blessed are you, and blessed are your origins. You are those upon whom Allah (swt) has bestowed His favor, the Judge of the faith, placing you in houses which Allah (swt) has permitted to be exalted and in which His name is remembered. He made our prayers upon you a mercy for us and an expiation for our sins. He chose you for us, and He purified our creation through the grace of your guardianship. Through your merit, we are recognized by Him, and through our affirmation of you, we acknowledge the truth." And this is the stance of one who has transgressed, erred, humbled himself, and confessed to his wrongdoing, hoping in his position for salvation and to be delivered by you, as the Deliverer of those perishing from the Fire. Be my intercessors, for I have come to you at a time when the people of the world have turned away from you, mocked the signs of Allah (swt), and arrogantly disregarded them. O He who is ever-watchful, never heedless, eternal, never distracted, and encompassing all things! Yours is the favor for guiding me and making me aware of what You entrusted to me, while others of Your servants turned away, ignorant of their duty, belittled their rights, and leaned toward others. Your grace upon me is shared with those whom You have uniquely favored, just as You have uniquely favored me. All praise belongs to You for counting me among those who are recorded before You in this state. So do not deprive me of what I hope for, and do not disappoint me in what I have asked. Then, pray for yourself for whatever you wish. After that, perform eight units of prayer in the mosque there, reciting in them whatever you desire and ending with salutations after every two units. It is said that this is the place where Fatimah, peace be upon her, performed her prayers.

وَ أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِنَّمَا قَالَ: «مَا بَيْنَ قَبْرِي وَ مِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ اَلْجَنَّةِ ».

And the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, said: "What lies between my grave and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.".
