Allah the Most Exalted said: “Verily, there has come unto you a
messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him that you
should receive any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you
(to be rightly guided, to repent to Allah, and begs Him to pardon
and forgive your sins, in order that you may enter Paradise and
be saved from the punishment of the Hell-fire), for the believers
he is full of pity, kind, and merciful, But if they turn away, say:
Allah is sufficient for me. La Ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right
to be worshipped but He), in Him I put my trust and He is the
Lord of the Mighty Throne.” (Ch.9:V128-129).

Abu Huraira (r.a.) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (Peace be
upon him) said: “Do not make your homes graves. Do not make
my grave a place of celebration. Send your Salat (blessings,
graces, honors and mercy) on me. Your Salat will be conveyed
to me, wherever you may be.” [Abu Dawud recorded this
Hadeeth with reliable chain of narrators].
And Ali bin Hussain narrated: He saw a man at a place that was
at the grave of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and he would
go to it and supplicate. So he (Ali bin Husian) prevented the
man and instructed him saying, “Should I not tell you a Hadeeth
which I heard form my father who in turn heard it from my
grandfather [Ali (r.a.)] who reported from Allah’s Messenger
(Peace be upon him)? He said: ‘Do not take my grave as a
place of celebration, nor your homes as graves, make salat
upon me, for, your salutation will be conveyed to me from
wherever you are.’ “[Al-Mukhtarah (the collection of Imam Al-
Maqdassi)].
