As-salāmu ‘alaykum dār qawmin mu’minīn, wa atākum mā tū‘adūn, ghadan mu‘ajjalūn, wa innā in shā’a-llāhu bikum lāḥiqūn. Allāhumma-ghfir li-ahli Baqī‘i-l-Gharqad.
Context
WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim from ‘Ā’ishah 
who related that every time it was her night with the Messenger of Allah 
he went out to al-Baqī‘ in the last part of the night. He would say: “Peace be upon you, home of believing people. What you were promised and you deferred until tomorrow has come to you. We shall, if Allah wills, be joining you. O Allah, forgive the inhabitants of Baqī‘ al-Gharqad.” [1].
