Ibn ‘Abbas (RAA) narrated, ‘Once the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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." Related by At-Tirmidhi, who graded it as Hasan.
