Ibn Qudamah
Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (d. 852 AH) explicitly stated that travelling to visit the tomb of the Prophet was "one of the best of actions and the noblest of pious deeds with which one draws near to God, and its legitimacy is a matter of consensus." Similarly, Ibn Qudamah (d. 620 AH) considered "ziyāra" of the Prophet to be recommended and also seeking intercession directly from the Prophet at his grave.
