Desirability of visiting the Graves for men, and that they should say
عَن بُرَيْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا" ((رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ)). وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ "فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَزُورَ القبور فليزر؛ فإنها تذكرنا الآخرة "
Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "(In the past) I forbade you from visiting graves, but visit them now." In another narration Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever wants to visit a graveyard, let him do so, because it reminds us of the Hereafter." [Muslim].
