Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزَا غَزْوَةَ الْفَتْحِ فَخَرَجَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْقُبُورِ حَتَّى إِذَا
أَتَى إِلَى أَدْنَاهَا جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُ يُكَلِّمُ إِنْسَانًا جَالِسًا يَبْكِي قَالَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكَ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاءَكَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِي فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أُمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِي فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهَا فَأَبَى إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ أَنْ تُمْسِكُوا بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَكُلُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ وَعَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَزُرْ فَقَدْ أُذِنَ لِي فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أُمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَدَعْ وَعَنْ الظُّرُوفِ تَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا الدُّبَّاءَ وَالْحَنْتَمَ وَالْمُزَفَّتَ وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ بِظُرُوفٍ وَإِنَّ الْوِعَاءَ لَا يُحِلُّ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُحَرِّمُهُ فَاجْتَنِبُوا كُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ participated in the campaign of the Conquest, and went out walking toward the graves. When he reached the nearest one, he sat beside it as if speaking to a person sitting there, weeping. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came toward him and said: 'What makes you weep — may Allah make me a ransom for you?' He said: 'I asked my Lord, the Almighty, to permit me to visit the grave of Muhammad's mother. He permitted me. I then asked Him to permit me to seek forgiveness for her, but He refused. I had forbidden you from three things: from keeping the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days — now eat what you wish. From visiting graves — whoever wishes to visit them may do so...'
