Sahih al-Bukhari 1319 (Book 23, Hadith 76) #1268
Visiting Graves and Saying Four Takbir

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was seen going to a grave and aligning people in rows, saying four Takbir.

Narrated Ash-Shaibani: Ash Shu'bi said, "I was informed by a man who had seen the Prophet going to a grave that was separate from the other graves and he aligned the people in rows and said four Takbir". I said, "O Abu 'Amr! who narrated (that) to you"? He said, "Ibn 'Abbas".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ، شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَلَى قَبْرٍ مَنْبُوذٍ فَصَفَّهُمْ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا‏.‏ قُلْتُ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ visiting a grave and aligning people in rows while saying four takbirs. A takbir is an Arabic phrase meaning “God is great” or “God is the greatest” which Muslims say during prayer or other religious occasions. It was narrated by Ash-Shaibani who heard it from Ibn 'Abbas. This hadith teaches us that we should visit graves of our loved ones with respect and reverence as well as remember Allah by saying takbirs when we do so. We should also be mindful of how we line up when visiting graves, showing respect for those who have passed away by standing in an orderly fashion.
