Etiquette when visiting his grave
The Prophet (SAW) said: "Whoever sends blessings upon me at my grave, I hear it, and whoever sends blessings upon me from afar, it is conveyed to me."
Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA); graded Hasan by several scholars of hadith
Explanation
Visitors are taught to greet the Prophet respectfully with salam and salawat, as one would greet a living person, without excessive ritual beyond what is authentically reported.
