It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited the grave of his mother along with a thousand masked (riders), and no one was ever seen weeping more than on that day. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. However, Muslim alone recorded this narration of Muharib bin Dithar from Ibn Buraydah: "I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for my mother, but He did not grant me permission."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: When I greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, his blessed face was shining. Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased, his blessed face would light up as if it were a piece of the moon, and this state of his would be recognised. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim); both of them recorded the long hadith, but they did not record these words.
