The consensus of scholars is that visiting the tomb of Prophet Muhammad is not only excellent and sunnah, but a matter to be desired as the Prophet said, "I forbade you to visit graves, but now you may visit them."
The jurist, Isaac, Abraham's son said that, when one makes the Greater Pilgrimage one should go to Medina, with the intention of praying in the Prophet's Mosque. One should seek the blessings of seeing his Garden (Rawdah), pulpit, tomb, the place where he sat, places that were touched by his blessed hand, places where his blessed feet walked, and the pillar on which he would lean, the places where Gabriel descended and brought the Revelation to him, the places connected with his Companions and the leaders of Muslims who lived there. All that should be a matter for consideration.
When one enters the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah one should say – as reported by Lady Fatima, peace be upon her – "The Prophet said, 'When you enter the Mosque, pronounce the praise and veneration on me and say: O Allah forgive me my sins and open for me the door of your Mercy. When you leave, repeat the pronouncing of the praise and veneration on me and say: O Allah forgive my sins and open the doors of Your virtue."
Thereafter then one should go to the Garden of the Prophet (Rawdah) which is between his pulpit and his tomb, and offer two units of prayer before coming to the visitation, as one praises Allah, the High, and ask Him to complete what one came for.
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
