Places of the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions in Madinah, Makkah and Badr: what happened there, what is Sunna when you visit, and when to go.

One hadith frames every visit: *“Do not set out on a journey except for three mosques”*: al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, the Prophet's Mosque and al-Aqṣā [Bukhārī 1189](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1189?ref=mohammadsiddiqui.com). Every other place on this page is a visit made while you are already there, for its history and its lessons.

At any grave: the greeting 

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ، وَأَتَاكُمْ مَا تُوعَدُونَ، غَدًا مُؤَجَّلُونَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ

As-salāmu ʿalaykum dāra qawmin muʾminīn, wa atākum mā tūʿadūn, ghadan muʾajjalūn, wa innā in shāʾa Allāhu bikum lāḥiqūn

Peace be upon you, abode of a believing people. What you were promised has come to you, deferred until tomorrow, and we, if Allah wills, will join you.

What the Prophet ﷺ said at al-Baqīʿ at night, then: “O Allah, forgive the people of Baqīʿ al-Gharqad” · [Muslim 974](https://sunnah.com/muslim:974?ref=mohammadsiddiqui.com)

Scholars The visitor greets and prays *for* the dead. Asking the dead for help, wiping graves or walls, and taking soil away are rejected by scholars of all four schools as having no basis.
