How sound is the narration reported about Sayyid Ahmad al-Rifa'i that he visited the Mosque of the Chosen One, peace and blessings be upon him, in Medina, and supplicated at the grave, whereupon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, extended his noble hand to him, and he kissed it?

The answer

This matter is false and has no basis in truth, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away, and Allah Almighty said: (Indeed, you will die, and indeed, they will die). The hadiths show that the angels convey greetings to the Prophet from his Ummah, and Allah restores his soul to him so that he may return the greetings, and that their prayers are presented to him on Friday. Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the prophets. The Prophet never mentioned shaking hands with anyone, and if that were to happen, it would be Satan deceiving him. It is incumbent upon Muslims to fear Allah, adhere to the , and beware of anything that contradicts it.
