If one prays in another part of the Mosque it is permissible, but the Garden of the Prophet is better because the Prophet said, "Between my house and my pulpit is a Garden of Paradise, and my pulpit is by a Door of Paradise." The Arabic word "Turah" means door, however many people have mistranslated this word as "canal". The door is on one side of the Pulpit and the Pool is on the other side and it is the Pool good believers who did not change will come to drink.
Thereafter one should go and humbly, with great respect, stand before the front of the tomb and deliver the pronouncing of the praise, veneration, and peace, upon him and whatever comes to one's mind, although it suffices to say "peace be upon you O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings."
Having done this one should move to the front of the tomb of Abu Bakr, then Omar and greet each of them in turn and supplicate for them in the manner they deserve.
Nafer said, "He saw Omar's son greeting the tomb the Prophet over one hundred times and he would say, "Peace be upon you O Prophet, peace be upon you Abu Bakr, and peace be upon my father, then leave. He would stand facing the tomb, not in the direction of the Kibla. He came close to the tomb, and greeted, but would not touch the tomb with his hand."
The Virtue of Medina, Mecca, the Pulpit and the Tomb
The Virtue of Praying in the Two Holy Mosques
(Mecca and Medina)
Allah says, "A mosque founded upon piety from the first day is worthier for you to stand in" (9:108). When the Prophet was asked to which mosque the verse referred he replied, "My Mosque." It also includes the Quba Mosque.
He tells us, "Allah has made the Ka'bah the Sacred House, as an establishment for people; and the Sacred Month, and the offering, and the necklaces, in order that you know that Allah has knowledge of all that is in the heavens and the earth; and that Allah has knowledge of all things." (5:97)
Allah says, "They say, 'If we follow the guidance with you, we shall be driven from our land.' But have We not given them a secure sanctuary from which fruits of every kind are collected as a provision from Us? Indeed, most of them do not know. (28:57)
