أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا أَتَی عَلَی الْمَقَابِرِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْکُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَائَ اللَّهُ بِکُمْ لَاحِقُونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَنَحْنُ لَکُمْ تَبَعٌ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ لَنَا وَلَکُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2046
It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah, from his father, that when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to the graveyard he would say: (Peace be upon the inhabitants of this place among the believers and Muslims. Soon we will join you, if Allah willing. You have gone on ahead of us and we will follow you. I ask Allah to keep us and you safe and sound.)” (Sahih)
