Bulugh al-Maram
وَعَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { مَرَّ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-بِقُبُورِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ, فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ:اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ اَلْقُبُورِ, يَغْفِرُ اَللَّهُ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ, أَنْتُمْ سَلَفُنَا وَنَحْنُ بِالْأَثَرِ"} رَوَاهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَقَالَ: حَسَن ٌ 1‏ ‏
Ibn "Abbas (RAA) narrated, "Once the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by some graves in Madinah. He turned his face toward them saying, "Peace be upon you, O dwellers of these graves. May Allah forgive you and us. You have preceded us, and we are following your trail."
