Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the people and said: "O people!

Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you attend the funeral of a deceased person, the angels also say Ameen." I said: O Messenger of Allah! What should we say? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: ﴿اللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَاعْقُبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبَى صَالِحَةً﴾ 'O Allah! Forgive us and him, have mercy on him, and grant me in his place a good substitute.'" So Allah Almighty granted me, in exchange for him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Once I did not find the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the room, so I followed him to the graveyard. When I reached there, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Peace be upon you, O abode of a believing people! You have preceded us.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his attention towards me, saw me, and said:“Alas, if you had the strength, you would not have done this.”

Then after that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrificial animals after three days, now eat it as many days as you wish. And I had forbidden you from making nabidh in pitchers, now you may drink from them, but every intoxicating thing is forbidden. And I had forbidden you from visiting graves, but now you may visit them, but do not say anything that would anger Allah, the Exalted.”
