Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: You must not neglect visiting the holy sites around Medina or Quba Masjid, for it is the

لَمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَىٰ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ

“Masjid founded on piety from the very first day” (9:108).

Also don't overlook Umm Ibrahim Well, Fadikh Masjid, graves of martyrs and Ahzab or Fath Masjid.

I am told that when the Prophet visited the graves of the martyrs of Uhud, he would say:

سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ

“Peace be on you because you were constant, how excellent, is then the issue of the abode” (13:24).

Then Imam ('a) said: Recite the following in Masjid Fath along with other supplications:

يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ اكْشِفْ عَنِّي غَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي وَ هَمِّي- كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْ نَبِيِّكَ (ص) هَمَّهُ وَ غَمَّهُ وَ كَرْبَهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ

Translation: O succour of the distressed! O fulfiller of the prayers of the distressed! Save me from my grief, agony and sadness just as You saved Your Prophet from his grief, agony and sadness, and You were sufficient for him against the terrors of his enemies in this place.

Tradition 2: Same as no. 1

Tradition 3: Allah's Messenger (S) said: One who enters my Masjid, that is Quba Masjid, and prays two Rakats prayer in it, will receive the reward of performing an Umra h.

Tradition 4: Same as no. 1.

Tradition 5: One of the Imams ('a) said: If you stay in Medina for three days, pray in the complete format. The same applies to staying in Mecca. If you stay in Medina for three days, keep three fasts, beginning on a Wednesday. Pray Tuesday night besides the Pillar of Repentance where Abu Lubabah tied himself until his forgiveness was revealed. Then on Wednesday, fast and sit by the pillar all day. At night, come to the Prophet's grave and spend that night and following day there, fasting on Thursday. On Thursday night, come to the pillar at the Prophet's grave and pray there all night and all the next day (Friday). You should also fast on Friday. If possible, don't speak during these days, except to say that which is necessary. Don't leave the Masjid unless it is necessary. If you can, don't sleep at night or du ring the day, as it will add to the grace of this worship act. On Friday, praise Allah, sanctify Him, invoke blessing on the Prophet, and ask for your needs.

Recite the following with other supplications:

اللَّهُمَّ مَا كَانَتْ لِي إِلَيْكَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ سَارَعْتُ أَنَا فِي طَلَبِهَا وَ الْتِمَاسِهَا- أَوْ حَاجَةٍ لَمْ أُسْرِعْ سَأَلْتُكَهَا [أَوْ لَمْ أَسْأَلْكَهَا] فَإِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ فِي قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي صَغِيرِهَا وَ كَبِيرِهَا

Translation: O Allah! I come to You through Your Prophet, Muhammad, the Prophet of mercy, to fulfil all of my needs, from the smallest to the greatest. And I ask You to fulfil those needs, which I hastened in asking and imploring for, and also to fulfil needs, which I didn't hasten to ask, and those needs, which I didn't even ask to be fulfilled.

Tradition 6: The narrator asked Imam As-Sadiq (‘a), “Which Masjid should I visit first when I visit the Masjids around Medina?”

Imam ('a) replied: Begin with Quba Masjid and pray more in it, for it is the first Masjid in this area in which Allah's Messenger (S) prayed.

Then proceed to Umm Ibrahim Well and pray there, for Allah's Messenger (S) resided and prayed there.

Then proceed to the Fadikh Masjid and pray two Rakats there, for your Prophet prayed there. When you finish visiting the Masjids on this side of the city, proceed to the side of Uhud. Begin with the Masjid below Harrah and pray there. Then proceed to the grave of Hamza...It is a long tradition with matter similar to that which is mentioned in the foregoing traditions.
