It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) went out of the house at night. I sent Barirah behind him to see where he was going. The Prophet (peace be upon him) proceeded towards Jannat al-Baqi, and upon reaching there, he stood in its nearby part, then raised his hands and prayed, and then returned. Barirah came back and informed me of this. When morning came, I asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Where did you go at night?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "I was sent towards the people of Baqi so that I may pray for them."
