al-Rūyānī (d. 502)

al-Rūyānī (d. 502), mentions the narration of al-ʿUtbī in which a man sought intercession from the Messenger, and calls it a “beautiful incident”

Fakhr of Islām, in his “Baḥr al-Madhhab” (which is a very important reference book in the Shāfiʿī Madhhab), mentions the narration of al-ʿUtbī in which a man sought intercession from the Messenger, and calls it a “beautiful incident”

It is recommended that when someone performs Hajj, they visit the Prophet's grave, as he said, "Whoever visits me after my death, it is as if they visited me during my lifetime." It is narrated that Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet said, "Whoever visits my grave, Paradise is guaranteed for him." It is also narrated that my intercession is guaranteed for him. It is recommended to pray in the Mosque of the Prophet, as he said, "A prayer in my mosque is equivalent to a thousand prayers in other mosques," as mentioned by our scholars. Al-'Ayni narrated a good story in this regard: "I was at the Prophet's grave when a Bedouin came and said, 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.' Then he said, 'I heard Allah say, "And when they wrong themselves, they come to you, then seek forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger seeks forgiveness for them, they would find Allah Oft-Returning, Most Merciful." (Quran 4:64) I have come to you seeking forgiveness for my sins, seeking your intercession with my Lord.' Then he recited, 'O best of those buried in the ground, the earth is made pure by your presence. My soul is the ransom for the grave where you reside, in it is chastity, generosity, and kindness.' Then the Bedouin left, and I felt drowsy and slept. I saw the Prophet in my dream, and he said, 'O truthful man, inform him that Allah has forgiven him.'
