اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا زِيَارَةَ نَبِيِّكَ ﷺ فِي المَدِينَةِ، وَاشْهَدْنَا آيَاتِهِ وَمُعْجِزَاتِهِ، وَتَوَفَّنَا عَلَى مِلَّتِهِ، وَاحْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَتِهِ.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. O Allah, grant us a visit to Your Prophet ﷺ in Madinah, and let us witness his signs and miracles, and let us die upon his way (Sunnah), and gather us in his company.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala aali Muhammad. Allahumma-rqzna ziyarata nabiyyika ﷺ fil-Madinah, wash-hadna ayatih wa mu'jizatih, wa tawaffana 'ala milatih, wahshurna fi zumratih.

This dua is most fitting when you are in Madinah, particularly when visiting the Prophet's ﷺ Masjid (Masjid an-Nabawi), the Baqi cemetery, or other significant historical sites. It's also appropriate when making sincere intention and planning for a Hajj or Umrah trip with the specific goal of experiencing the spiritual atmosphere and legacy of Madinah.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincere intention and heartfelt longing. Face the Qiblah if possible, or direct your heart towards the Prophet's ﷺ grave. Raise your hands slightly in supplication.

Virtues & Benefits
While there isn't one specific hadith for this exact dua, invoking blessings on the Prophet ﷺ (Salawat) is highly encouraged and has immense rewards. Visiting Madinah and the Prophet's ﷺ Masjid is also a virtuous act, as mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ: 'One prayer in my Masjid is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere, except for Masjid al-Haram.' (Sahih al-Bukhari 1190). This dua encapsulates the spirit of reverence, seeking closeness to the Prophet's ﷺ legacy, and aspiring to follow his path.
