Remembrance 2 from Chapter 128

As-salāmu ‘alā ahli-d-diyāri min al-mu’minīna wa-l-Muslimīn, yarḥamu-llāhu-l-mustaqdimīna minkum wa minnā wa-l-musta’khirīn, wa innā in shā’a-llāhu bikum la-lāḥiqūn.

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim from ‘Ā’ishah who asked: “What should I say, Messenger of Allah?”—that is, when visiting a grave. He replied: “Say: Peace be upon you, dwellers in these homes of the believers and Muslims. May Allah have mercy on those who have gone before from you or us and those who come afterwards. We shall, if Allah wills, be joining you.” ^[2].
