It was neither the Prophet who said this nor the sahaba...It was neither the Prophet nor the Sahaba who did this....
This is not a hadith it is someone said this and that (waysay tou kehnay walay bohot kuch kehtay hain apna hi mazhab bana laytay hain)...Kind of people who worship dead justifying it...Kindly show me from the Quran that this is allowed! When even ALLAH and HIS prophet didnt allow it how can random people allow it?
1. And when there came to them, that Book (Quran) of Allah, which confirms the Book (Taurat) with them, and before that they were asking for victory over the infidels by means of the same prophet. Then, when came to them that known and recognized one, they rejected him. So Allah's curse on those who reject. (Surah Al Baqrah Verse 89)

· Imam Qurtubi related the tradition through Ibn e Abbss:
The Jews of Khaybar were often at war with the Ghatafān (tribe). When they confronted each other (in battle) the Jews were defeated. They attacked again, offering this prayer,“(O Lord,) we beg You through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet (P.B.U.H) about whom You have promised us that you will send him to us at the end of time. Please help us against them.”Ibn ‘Abbās adds: whenever they faced the enemy, they offered this prayer and defeated the Ghatafān (tribe). But when the Prophet (P.B.U.H) was sent, they denied (him). So Allah the Exalted revealed the verse: “And before that they themselves had (prayed) for victory (through the mediation of the last Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and the Book revealed to him) over the disbelievers,” that is, through your mediation, O Muhammad.
Qurtubi, Al-Jami li-ahkam-il-Quran, 2:27
· Imam Mahmud Alusi said This (verse) was revealed about Banu Qurayzah and Banu Nadir who used to pray for victory over Aws and Khazraj before Allah’s Messenger’s Prophethood. Ibn ‘Abbās and Qatādah have given expression to the same reality.It means that they prayed to Allah through his mediation for victory over the polytheistsas also stated by as-Suddiyy: when the war raged between them and the polytheists,they opened the Torah and placed their hand on the spot where the Prophet was mentioned and prayed,“O Allah, we pray to You through the mediation of Your Prophet You have promised with us to send him at the end of time; today grant us victory over our enemies.” So (by the blessing of this prayer) they were made victorious.Mahmud Alusi, Ruh-ul-ma‘ānī (1:320)
· Imam Jalal ud deen Suyūtī narrates two traditions on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbās in this context as follows:
The Jews of Banū Qurayzah and Banū Nadīr used to pray for victory over the disbelievers and the infidels before the Prophethood of Muhammad. They said: O Allah, bless us with victory through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet, and they were blessed with victory.
The Jews of Medina, before the arrival of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H), in their war against the (tribes of) Arab disbelievers – Asad, Ghatafān, Juhaynah and ‘Udhrah – prayed for victory over them and sought help by invoking the name of Allah’s Messenger. They said: O Allah, our Lord, grant us victory over them through the name of Your Prophet and through Your Book to be revealed to him whose Prophet hood You have promised us at the end of time.
Suyūtī, ad-Durr-ul-manthūr (1:88)
2. Whenever drought threatened them, `Umar bin Al-Khattab, used to ask Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib to invoke Allah for rain. He used to say, "O Allah! We used to ask our Prophet to invoke You for rain, and You would bless us with rain, and now we ask his uncle to invoke You for rain. O Allah ! Bless us with rain."(1) And so it would rain.
Bukhari H # 1010
3. Hazrat Ibin Ubaid said: The people of Syria were mentioned in the presence of Ali Bin Abi Talib R.A when he was in Iraq. They said: Curse the, O Ameer al-Mu’mineen. He said: No; I heard the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say: “The Abdal will be in Syria, and they will be forty men. Every time one of them dies, Allah wil replace him with another man. By virtue of them rain is sent and through them victory is achieved against the enemy and punishment is warded off from the people of Syria.”

4. It was narrated from 'Usman bin Hunaif that a blind man came to the Prophet (P.B.U.H) and said: "Pray to Allah to heal me." He said: "If you wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or if you wish, I will supplicate for you." He said: "Supplicate." So he told him to perform ablution and do it well, to pray two Rak'ah, and to say this supplication:"Allahumma lnni as'aluka wa atawajjahu ilaika bimuhammadin nabiyyir-rahma. Ya Muhammadu inni qad tawajjahtu bika ila rabbi fi hajati hadhihi lituqda. Allahumma fashaffi’hu fiya(O Allah, I ask of You andI turn my face towards
You by virtue of the intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy.O Muhammad, I have turned to my Lord by virtue of your intercession concerning this need of mine so that it may be met.O Allah, accept his intercession concerning me)"

5. Imam Tabrani has narrated an incident that a person repeatedly visited Uthman bin Affan (RA) concerning something he needed but Uthman paid no attention to him. The man went to Uthman bin Hunaif (ra) and complained to him about the matter so Uthman bin Hunaif said : “Go to the place of Wudu, then come to the Masjid, perform two Rak'ats and then say : “
O Allah!, I ask you and turn to you through our Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad! I turn through you to my lord, that He fulfil my need” and mention your need. Then come so that I can go with you [to the caliph Uthman] So the man left and did as he had been told, then went to the door of Uthman ibn Affan (Allah be pleased with him), and the doorman came, took him by the hand, brought him to Uthman ibn Affan, and seated him next to him on a cushion. 'Uthman asked, "What do you need?" and the man mentioned what he wanted, and Uthman accomplished it for him ...(till the end of hadith)

7. It is attributed to Dawud bin Abu Salih. He says: one day Marwan came and he saw that a man was lying down with his mouth turned close to the Prophet’s grave. Then he (Marwan) said to him, “Do you know what are you doing?” When he moved towards him,he saw that it wasAbu Ayyub al-Ansari. (In reply) he said, “Yes (I know) I have come to the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) and not to a stone. I have heard it from the Messenger of God (P.B.U.H) not to cry over religion when its guardian is competent. Yes, shed tears over religion when its guardian is incompetent.

8. Imam Dārimī Relates from Abu al-Jawza’ Aws bin ‘Abdullah: The people of Medina were in the grip of a severe famine. They complained to ‘A’ishah (about their terrible condition).She told them to go towards the Prophet’s grave and open a window in the direction of the sky so that there is no curtain between the sky and the grave. The narrator says they did so. Then it started raining heavily; even the lush green grass sprang up (everywhere) and the camels had grown so fat (it seemed) they would burst out due to the over piling of blubber. So the year was named as the year of greenery and plenty.

We belong to the same origin and tribe, and the trouble we are facing is not hidden from you, therefore, have mercy on us. The holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) replied: opt one of the two choices; either take away your property and wealth or have your women freed. They opted for their women and children. Then the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) added: as far as my share and the share of ‘Abd-ul-Muttalib and his children (in the spoils) is concerned, I have already given it to you. But when I have performed the noon prayer, you should all stand up and say:
"Through the means of the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) we seek help for our women and children from believers (or Muslims)"
The narrator says that when people had finished their prayer, they repeated the same words as the Prophet (P.B.U.H) had advised them.

12. It is narrated by Anas bin Malik. He said: When the mother of ‘Ali bin Abu Talib — Fatimah bint Asad bin Hashim — died, Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) called on her and sat down by the head of the bed and said, “O dear mother, may Allah have mercy on you. After my mother, you were the one I regarded as my mother. When I was hungry you fed me to the point of saturation while you yourself remained hungry. Then you helped me put on clothes and instead of eating yourself, you gave me nice things to eat. You did all this for Allah’s pleasure and for a good reward in the Hereafter.” Then he (the Prophet) commanded to bathe her three times. When camphor water was brought, Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) poured some water into his hands. Then Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) took off his shirt and clothed her with it and used his own sheet of cloth as her coffin.Then Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) sent for Usamah bin Zayd, Abu Ayyub al-Ansari and ‘Umar bin al-Khattab and the negro slave to dig up the grave. So they dug her grave. When they reached near the lahd, Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) dug it up and drew the soil out with his own hands. When he finished, Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) entered and lay down in (the grave), and said, “It is Allah Who controls life and death, and He is Ever living and will never die.
(O Allah,) forgive my mother—Fatimah bint Asad— and help her answer properly at the time of questioning and through the mediation of Your Prophet (Muhammad) and the former prophets, make her grave capacious. Surely You are infinitely Merciful.” Then he repeated, “God is Great” four times (i.e. led the funeral prayer). Then he, ‘Abbas and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq lowered her into the grave.

And that thread was about a baba g....and you are quoting Quran where it clearly says YOU (MUHAMMAD) for everyone...and calling them Rasools and stuff....
Who call them Rasools. You are taking it out of context.
And that thread was about a baba g....and you are quoting Quran where it clearly says YOU (MUHAMMAD) for everyone...and calling them Rasools and stuff....
BTW, has Prophet Ibrahim come to anyone's dream? He is also a prophet, right? Also a Rasool...Has Prophet Adam come to anyone's dream? Then why Prophet Muhammad is used all the time? Esp since you say the verse is not for that time when it clearly said you (addressing Muhammad)?
Yes but he failed to see the "you" (reference to Muhammad no one else)...just like story of Ibrahim, Musa were references to their times.....
You are getting me completely wrong. I had replied to your specific sentence which is "According to the Quran God's will is not praying to the dead bodies". I had not kept the whole context of the thread in mind.
