Hadith 533
۞
Hadith.533 - Jarrah al-Mada'ini asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about how to offer salutations to the inhabitants of the graves.
Imam (as) replied: "[You should stand and] say:
Al-salāmu ‘alā ahli al-diyār min al-mu’minīn wa al-muslimīn, raḥima Allāhu al-mustaqdimīna minnā wa al-musta’khirīn, wa innā in shā’a Allāhu bikum lāḥiqūn
'Peace be upon the inhabitants of the dwellings (graves) from among the believers and the Muslims. May Allah (swt) have mercy on those of us who have gone ahead and those who will come later, and indeed, if Allah (swt) wills, we shall join you.'"
533 - وَ سَأَلَ جَرَّاحٌ اَلْمَدَائِنِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: كَيْفَ اَلتَّسْلِيمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ اَلْقُبُورِ فَقَالَ «تَقِفُ وَ تَقُولُ: اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ اَلدِّيَارِ مِنَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ رَحِمَ اَللَّهُ اَلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنَّا وَ اَلْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ وَ إِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ بِكُمْ لاَحِقُونَ.
