Sulaiman bin Buraidah narrated on the authority of his father (RAA) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) taught us that when we visit graves we should say, “Peace be upon you, O believing men and women, O dwellers of this place. Certainly, Allah willing, we will join you. We supplicate to Allah to grant us and you well being.” Related by Muslim.
