Chapters Regarding Funerals
Sunan Ibn Mājah 1572
رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ
rabbī fī an astaghfira lahā falam yaʾdhan lī wāstaʾdhantu rabbī fī an azūra qabrahā fa-adhina lī fazūrūā al-qubūra fa-innahā tudhakkirukumu al-mawta

The full narration
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:“The Prophet (ﷺ) visited the grave of his mother and wept, causing the people around him to weep. Then he said: ‘I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not give me permission. Then I asked my Lord for permission to visit her grave and He gave me permission. So visit the graves, for they will remind you of death.’”
