Dua when entering the graveyard – 2

Upon entering the graveyard, one should make salaam to the inmates of the graves in the following words:

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ القُبُوْرِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَلَفُنَا وَنَحْنُ بِالْأَثَر

O inmates of the graves, may peace descend upon you (from the side of Allah Ta‘ala), May Allah Ta‘ala forgive us and you. You have preceded us (in reaching the Aakhirah) and we will soon follow.

عن ابن عباس قال: مر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بقبور المدينة فأقبل عليهم بوجهه، فقال: السلام عليكم يا أهل القبور، يغفر الله لنا ولكم، أنتم سلفنا، ونحن بالأثر (سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 1053)

Hazrat ibnu Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that on one occasion Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) passed by the graveyard of Madinah Munawwarah. He faced towards them and recited the following dua: 

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ القُبُوْرِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَلَفُنَا وَنَحْنُ بِالْأَثَر
