Farewell to the Grave of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and His Minbar (pulpit): When you wish to leave the city of Medina, go to the place of the Prophet's (peace be upon him and his family) head and offer salutations to him. Then, proceed to the pulpit, and send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) as much as you can. Pray for yourself regarding matters of religion and the world as you wish. Afterward, return to the Prophet's grave (peace be upon him and his family), aligning your left shoulder close to the grave near the pillar that is just before the farther pillar at the head of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family). Pray six or eight units of prayer, reciting Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah in each unit, and perform qunoot (supplication) in every two units. When you complete the prayers, turn towards the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and bid him farewell by saying: "Peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon you. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى not make this my final farewell to you. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do not make this my last visit to the grave of Your Prophet, blessings be upon him and his family. If You take me away before another visit, I bear witness at the time of my death as I do in my life that there is no deity but You and that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger."
