* '''Visiting the grave of the Prophet (s):''' [[Qur'an 4]], verse 64. According to verses and hadiths, believers can [[repentance|repent]] to [[God]] near the grave of the Prophet (s); they consider no difference between the time the Prophet (s) was alive and when he (s) is dead regarding the application of the verse; the same way they respect the manners of communicating with the Prophet (s) both during his life and after his demise, such as not raising one's voice beside his grave. The verb "Ja'uk" (Arabic: {{ia|جاءوك}}) in the verse is mentioned in conditional form which is a sign of generality in meaning and therefore covers both the time of the Prophet (s) and after his demise. | * '''Visiting the grave of the Prophet (s):''' [[Qur'an 4]], verse 64: | ||
:"We did not send any apostle but to be obeyed by Allah’s leave. Had they, when they wronged themselves, come to you and pleaded to Allah for forgiveness, and the Apostle had pleaded for them [to Allah]for forgiveness, they would have surely found Allah all-clement, all-merciful." | |||

:"That. And whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah—indeed that arises from the Godwariness of hearts." | |||
Those who have mentioned this verse for the legitimacy of visiting graves, consider visiting the graves of great religious personalities a sign of the [[taqwa]] of the heart and thus, they have considered any religious sign, a cause of getting close to God. [[Fadil Miqdad]] was among the first people who considered visiting the graves of the Prophet (s) and [[Imams (a)]] among Islamic sacraments. | |||
* '''Visiting the graves of believers:''' [[Qur'an 9]], verse 84. According to this verse, the Prophet (s) was ordered not to pray upon the bodies of [[hypocrisy|hypocrite]]s or stand beside their graves. Many scholars of [[jurisprudence]] including Fadil Miqdad, [[Abu l-Futuh al-Husayni al-Jurjani]] and [[Ja'far Subhani]] relied on the meaning of this verse and emphasized that doing both actions is good to be done for those who are not hypocrites. According to some [[exegete]]s, this verse shows the conduct of Muslims and the action of the Prophet (s); for if the Prophet (s) did not do those actions for believers, prohibiting him from doing them about hypocrites would not sound right. | * '''Visiting the graves of believers:''' [[Qur'an 9]], verse 84: | ||
:"And never pray over any of them when he dies, nor stand at his graveside. They indeed defied Allah and His Apostle and died as transgressors." | |||
