Is this true?

AsSalaamo Alaikum brother vroom,

You sure like to ask questions of others, but very rarely do you ever answer any questions with evidence; rather your scripted response is that you either do not feel the need to provide evidence, or that you don’t like to. But I go on out on a fat chance here asking Can you please provide some textual reference from the earliest of traditional scholars of Islam who went to graves to seek aid/help? Texts from the earliest generations would be best. Surely, a believer would not embark on a practice and do it as a part of the deen without having substance to establish the practice?

I realize you have often said your way is the way of traditional Islam, but traditional Islam should extend way back to the times of Rasool Allah (s.a.w.) and Sahaba (r.a.), should it not? Did they visit graves with the intention of seeking aid/help from any of the dead?

I’m really not seeking any personal opinion, and/or commentary, just references because they’ll speak on your behalf inshaAllah.

Wa alaikum Salam

Your generalisations about me are incorrect, although i do have shortcomings which i am choosing not to deal with, something like ‘you sure do like to ask questions’ is blatantly incorrect. I rarely ask questions from non sunnis, even the question I asked earlier was not a question - it was an answer, and other things

I do realize this was asked a while ago, but a couple of weeks should not matter in our pursuit of knowledge, right?

The Questions posed here are thus:
“…Can you please provide some textual reference from the earliest of traditional scholars of Islam who went to graves to seek aid/help? Texts from the earliest generations would be best. Surely, a believer would not embark on a practice and do it as a part of the deen without having substance to establish the practice?..”

“…I realize you have often said your way is the way of traditional Islam, but traditional Islam should extend way back to the times of Rasool Allah (s.a.w.) and Sahaba (r.a.), should it not? Did they visit graves with the intention of seeking aid/help from any of the dead?..”

Forgive me again, for taking some more time before I actually answer the questions, if I do.

Please state your attention is still is on this subject, and if any of the evidences I provided earlier were beneficial to correcting your view
