Musnad Ahmad 1387 (Book 6, Hadith 7) #35011
Visiting Graves of Martyrs

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions visiting the graves of martyrs and him explaining that they are the graves of their brothers.

Dawood bin Khalid bin Dinar narrated that He and a man called Abu Yoosuf, who was from (the tribe of) Banu Taim, passed by Rabee'ah bin Abi 'AbdurRahman (رضي الله عنه) and Abu Yoosuf said to him: "We find that you have a hadeeth that we did not find with anyone else". He said: "I have a lot of hadeeths, but Rabee'ah bin al Hudair - who used to stay close to Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah - said that he did not hear Talhah narrate any hadeeth from the Messenger of Allah except one". Rabee'ah bin Abi 'Abdur-Rahman said: "I said to him: "What is it?" He said: "Talhah said to me: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah until we approached Harrat Waqim. When we drew close to it, we saw some graves at a turn in the valley and we said: "O Messenger of Allah, are these the graves of our brothers?" He said: "The graves of our companions'. Then he left and when we came to the graves of the martyrs, the Messenger of Allah said: 'These are the graves of our Brothers"."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْنٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ مَرَّ هُوَ وَرَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو يُوسُفَ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمٍ عَلَى رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو يُوسُفَ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ مِنْ الْحَدِيثِ مَا لَا نَجِدُهُ عِنْدَكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ عِنْدِي حَدِيثًا كَثِيرًا وَلَكِنَّ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ الْهُدَيْرِ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَلْزَمُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ طَلْحَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ غَيْرَ حَدِيثٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَمَا هُوَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي طَلْحَةُ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى حَرَّةِ وَاقِمٍ قَالَ فَدَنَوْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِذَا قُبُورٌ بِمَحْنِيَّةٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُبُورُ إِخْوَانِنَا هَذِهِ قَالَ قُبُورُ أَصْحَابِنَا ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْنَا قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ قُبُورُ إِخْوَانِنَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a journey taken by Prophet Muhammad and his companions to Harrat Waqim. When they arrived at a turn in the valley, they saw some graves and asked if these were the graves of their brothers. The Prophet replied that these were indeed the graves of their companions. This hadith teaches us to respect those who have passed away before us as our brothers in faith. It also encourages us to visit graveyards as a form of remembrance for those who have gone before us and as an act of piety towards them. We should remember that we will all eventually pass away one day so it is important for us to be mindful of our actions now so that we can be remembered fondly when we are gone too.
