By moving aside at an arm's length you should thereafter pay Salam to
Hazrat Umar Faroque.
"Peace be with you O Commander of the Faithful, Umar Faroque by whom
Allah added glory to Islam ! Allah made you the Leader of the Muslims,
while He chose you as alive and as dead. May Allah grant you a good reward
on behalf of the people of Muhammad."
Here as well a decrease or an increase in the words depends upon your
own choice. However, pay Salam on behalf of the persons who made such
a request to you and then move a bit forward and say :
"Peace be upon both of you. Co-deposers of the Messenger of Allah
(Peace be upon him), his companions and his premiers ! May Allah grant
both of you the best reward. We have come to you in order to seek your
mediation towards the Messanger of Allah (Peace be upon him) so that he
may intercede for us and pray for us to our Lord that He may preserve
us alive on his faith and his tradition and on the Day of Resurrection
He may restore us and all Muslims to life in his group, (of followers)."
Thereafter, by moving forward and standing face to face with the Holy
Prophet you should pray to Allah whatever you can, particularly you should
invoke blessings yourself, your parents and common Muslims. You should
then move from there and on reaching near the Pillar of "Ustuwana
Abu Lubaba" you should offer two Rak'ats of prayers alongwith the
invocations in the end. Some more Nafl prayer should be offered on coming
back to Raudhat-ul-Janna. In case of the time being Makroh you should
keep yourself bussy with saying of the name of Allah, Istighfar and invocations.
Everywhere and as long as you can you should not be neglectful of invocations
and Darood. The more often you repeat them the better it is.
Try to remain bussy in the recital of the Holy Qur'an and the name of
Allah as long as you stay in Madina. Darood Sharif should also be often
repeated. You should often keep awake during the night and should not
waste time. Offer your prayers in Masjid-e-Nabavi as far as possible.
Following a daily regular visit to the sacred grave of the Holy Prophet
you should try to pay every day or on Fridays visit to the grave-yard
of Jannat-ul-Baqi as well, as Hazrat Uthman, Hazrat Abbas, Hazrat Hasan,
Hazrat Ibrahim, the son of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) and the
purified wives of the Holy Prophet as well as his other great Companions
are reposing there. A visit should also be paid to the graves of Amir
Hamza and the martyrs of Uhd (My Allah bless them with his pleasure).
Nafl prayers should also be offered in the Mosque of Hazrat Fatima (May
Allah bless her with His pleasure). On Saturday, You go to Masjid-e-Quba
and after saying prayers you should invoke Allah's blessings.
As long as you stay in Madina, pay regular visits to the Sacred Mausoleum
and offer Salam as often as you can, particularly after all the five prayers
(Zubda).
Rule Of Action
If, at any time, it is not possible to avail your presence at Mawajah
Sharif (The Place confronting to the sacred grave), you may pay your Salam
by standing any side of the sacred mausoleum or anywhere in Masjid-e-Nabavi,
but it does not bear the same pre-eminence as bears the Salam paid at
Mawajah Sharif.
Rule Of Action
Even outside Masjid-e-Nabavi whenever you happen to pass by the Sacred
Mausoleum, stay for a while in front of it and do not go forth until you
pay a Salam.
Rule Of Action
Women should also visit the Sacred Mausoleum and pay a Salam in front
of Mawajah Sharif but it is better for them to be present at night and
at rush hours to pay Salam from a distance.
Rule Of Action
While in Masjid-e-Nabavi keep yourself aloof from wordly talks and do
not speak with a loud voice.
