We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim from Buraydah , who reported that the Messenger of Allah taught his Companions that when they visited graves they should say: “Peace be upon you, believing inhabitants of these dwellings. We shall, if Allah wills, be joining you. I ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.” ^[5].We relate also from an-Nasā’ī and Ibn Mājah, adding after his statement ‘shall be joining’ (al-lāḥiqūn) ‘and you are our predecessors while we are your followers’.
