One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Assalam-o-Alaikum
I have some questions and i really like
3) In surah fatir verse no. 21 Allah says that you
cannot make hear to those who are in graves, only Allah can make anyone hear.
so it seems it is rule for all human beings who have died and in graves. what
about Holy Prophet pbuh . Can he also not listen on his grave and we should
also ask Allah to send peace on Holy Prophet pbuh when we are visiting his
grave in madinah?

Answer:
Does or durood reach
prophet (saws)
In the name of Allah,
We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah
Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the
seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 35 Surah Fatir Verse 22:
22 Nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead. Allah can make any that He wills to hear; but
thou (O Prophet (saws)) canst not make those to hear who are (buried) in
graves.
No deceased person (including
the Noble Prophet (saws)) of their own selves can see or hear anyone or
anything of the living on the earth in the least; but Allah Subhanah CAN make
any that He Wills to hear and see whatever the Lord Most Majestic Wills and
Pleases.
Abu Hurairah
reported that the Prophet (saws), "Do not turn my grave into a site of
festivities, but send greetings to me
for your greetings are raised to me wherever you might be."
(Reported by Abu Daw'ud)
Abu Hurairah
reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "When any Muslim sends greetings to
me, Allah returns my soul to me so
that I may respond to his greetings." (Reported by Abu Dawud)
The Messenger of Allah (saws)
informed the believers that whenever any believer on earth sends a salutation
unto the Noble Prophet (saws), the Lord Most Gracious returns the soul of the
Noble Prophet (saws) back to him so that the Prophet (saws) may not only hear
but also respond to that salutation.
We reiterate again that it is
not the Noble Prophet (saws) of his own self who can see or hear what is
happening on the earth after his death….but it is Allah Subhanah, the Lord of
the Worlds, Who allows and permits the Prophet (saws) to hear whatever The Lord
Most High Wills and Pleases.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
