Riyad as-Salihin 582

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to teach them (i.e., the Companions) whenever they came out to visit the graveyard to say: “As-salamu ‘alaikum ahlad-diyyari minal- Muminina wal-Muslimina, wa inna in sha’ Allahu bikum lahiqun. As ‘alul-laha lana wa-lakumul- ‘afiyyah (May you be safe, O inmates of the abodes of the believers and the Muslims, and if Allah pleases, we shall follow you, we pray to Allah for well-being for ourselves and for you).’.’”
