حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ کُنْتُ نَهَيْتُکُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُزَهِّدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتُذَکِّرُ الْآخِرَةَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1571
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said, "I used to forbid you to visit the graves, but now visit them, for they will draw your attention away from this world and remind you of the Hereafter." (Da'if)
