Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ إِذَا خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَائِلُهُمْ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَلاحِقُونَ، أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ.
Buraidah narrated: "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to teach them when they went out to the graveyards to say: 'Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the dwellings, believers and Muslims. Indeed, we are, if Allah wills, to join you. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.'"
