Qabristan jane ki dua is the short greeting the Prophet ﷺ taught his companions to say when they visited a graveyard.

This is the wording reported in Sahih Muslim. Tap the button to copy the Arabic text.
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَلَاحِقُونَ، أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ
Assalamu alaikum ahlad-diyari minal mu’minina wal muslimin, wa inna in sha Allahu lalahiqun, as’alullaha lana wa lakumul ‘afiyah.
Read it slowly. The word lalahiqun means “we will surely join you”, and al-afiyah means safety and well-being.
اے ان گھروں کے رہنے والے مومنو اور مسلمانو! تم پر سلامتی ہو۔ اور ہم بھی ان شاء اللہ ضرور تم سے ملنے والے ہیں۔ میں اللہ سے اپنے اور تمہارے لیے عافیت کا سوال کرتا ہوں۔
“Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of these dwellings, from among the believers and the Muslims. And we, if Allah wills, will surely join you. I ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.”
愿你们平安,这些住所中的信士和穆斯林们!如果真主意欲,我们必将与你们相会。我为我们和你们向真主祈求安康。
হে এই আবাসস্থলের মুমিন ও মুসলিম অধিবাসীগণ, তোমাদের উপর শান্তি বর্ষিত হোক। আর আল্লাহ চাইলে আমরাও অবশ্যই তোমাদের সাথে মিলিত হব। আমি আল্লাহর কাছে আমাদের ও তোমাদের জন্য কল্যাণ প্রার্থনা করি।
ऐ इन घरों में रहने वाले मोमिनों और मुसलमानों, तुम पर सलामती हो। और अगर अल्लाह ने चाहा तो हम भी ज़रूर तुमसे आ मिलेंगे। मैं अल्लाह से अपने लिए और तुम्हारे लिए भलाई और आफ़ियत माँगता हूँ।
Notice that the dua begins with salam, the same greeting we give to living people. It reminds the visitor that the people in the graves were believers like us, and that we will follow them one day.
Buraydah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach the companions what to say when they went out to the graveyards: “Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of these dwellings, from among the believers and the Muslims. And we, if Allah wills, will surely join you. I ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.” This is recorded in Sahih Muslim 975.
Visiting graves itself is a Sunnah for reflection. The Prophet ﷺ said that he had earlier forbidden visiting graves, and then allowed it: “so visit them.” This is reported in Sahih Muslim 977.
Visiting a grave should bring patience, not complaint. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a woman weeping at a grave and told her to fear Allah and be patient, and taught that true patience is at the first shock. This is recorded in Sahih Bukhari 1283.
After greeting the people of the graves, you can make any sincere dua for them. A beautiful dua from the Quran asks forgiveness for us and for the believers who went before us:
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ
اے ہمارے رب! ہمیں بخش دے اور ہمارے ان بھائیوں کو بھی جو ایمان میں ہم سے پہلے گزر چکے ہیں۔
Rabbanaghfir lana wa li-ikhwaninal-ladhina sabaquna bil-iman. “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith.” (Quran 59:10)
中文翻译:我们的主啊!求你赦宥我们和在信仰上先于我们的弟兄们。(《古兰经》59:10)
বাংলা অনুবাদ: হে আমাদের রব, আমাদেরকে এবং আমাদের সেই ভাইদেরকে ক্ষমা করুন যারা ঈমানে আমাদের আগে চলে গেছেন। (সূরা আল-হাশর ৫৯:১০)
हिंदी अनुवाद: ऐ हमारे रब, हमें और हमारे उन भाइयों को माफ़ कर दे जो ईमान में हमसे पहले गुज़र चुके हैं। (क़ुरआन 59:10)
Read qabristan jane ki dua when you enter a graveyard or pass by graves, for example at a funeral, when visiting the grave of a parent, or on a planned visit for reflection. A simple way to do it:
Every soul will taste death (Quran 3:185), and the graveyard is a strong reminder of this. Scholars differ on some customs people practise at graves, so this page sticks to the greeting taught in the hadith above and to general dua for the deceased.
The Quran warns about chasing more and more of this world until death arrives:
أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرَ
زیادہ سے زیادہ (دنیا) حاصل کرنے کی دوڑ نے تمہیں غافل کر دیا، یہاں تک کہ تم قبرستان جا پہنچے۔
“Competing for more distracted you, until you visit the graves.” (Quran 102:1-2)
中文翻译:争取更多使你们疏忽了,直到你们去探访坟墓。(《古兰经》102:1-2)
বাংলা অনুবাদ: আরও বেশি পাওয়ার প্রতিযোগিতা তোমাদেরকে উদাসীন করে রেখেছে, যতক্ষণ না তোমরা কবরস্থানে পৌঁছে যাও। (সূরা আত-তাকাসুর ১০২:১-২)
हिंदी अनुवाद: ज़्यादा पाने की होड़ ने तुम्हें ग़ाफ़िल कर दिया, यहाँ तक कि तुम क़ब्रों पर जा पहुँचे। (क़ुरआन 102:1-2)
Children often come along to funerals and family grave visits. Teach them the first line, “Assalamu alaikum ahlad-diyar”, and explain that we greet the believers who passed away. Add one more phrase each week until they can say the whole qabristan jane ki dua. Keep the explanation gentle and focus on mercy and remembrance.
