Dua when entering the graveyard – 5

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

السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَيَرْحَمُ اللهُ الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنَّا وَالْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَلَاحِقُونَ

May peace (from the side of Allah Ta‘ala) descend upon the inmates of the resting abode of the believers, and may Allah Ta‘ala shower His mercy upon those who have preceded us (in reaching the aakhirah) and those who are still to pass away, and Insha-Allah soon we will be joining you.

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: كيف أقول لهم يا رسول الله قال: قولي: السلام على أهل الديار من المؤمنين والمسلمين ويرحم الله المستقدمين منا والمستأخرين وإنا إن شاء الله بكم للاحقون. (صحيح مسلم، الرقم: 974)

Hazrat Aaishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) once asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “What should I say to them (to the deceased when visiting the graveyard).” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “You should say the following:

السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَيَرْحَمُ اللهُ الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنَّا وَالْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَلَاحِقُونَ
