Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَيْفَ أَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ تَعْنِي فِي زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ قَالَ: " قُولِي: السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَيَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنَّا وَالْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ للاحقون ". رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: She asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, what should I say?’—meaning during visits to graves. He replied, ‘Say: Peace be upon the inhabitants of these dwellings among the believers and Muslims. May Allah have mercy on those of us who went ahead and those who came later. If Allah wills, we shall join you.’ Muslim transmitted it.
