The Ruling on Visiting Al-Baqi

Question
What is the ruling on visiting Al-Baqi?
Answer
It is recommended to visit it, so the visitors come to the shrines, especially the grave of the Master of Martyrs, Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him, then to the other Baqi, to visit Al-Abbas, Al-Hassan ibn Ali, and the rest of the family of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah be pleased with them. They also visit the Commander of the Faithful, Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet, peace be upon him, the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, his aunt Safiyyah, and the companions and followers, may Allah be pleased with them. They visit the martyrs of Uhud, and if Thursday is possible, it is better. They say: "Peace be upon you for your patience, and excellent is the final abode." They recite Ayat al-Kursi and Surah Al-Ikhlas eleven times, and Surah Yasin if possible, and they dedicate the reward of that to all the martyrs and those nearby from the believers. See: Lubab al-Manasik, pp. 565-569.
