Abstract
Saints of God Shrines and tombs, specially the Prophet of mercy (Saw) is of the most important ways of achieving nearness to God and there has been a great attention to this problem in all periods of history from elders, scholars and general Muslims but in the seventh century and the rise of Ibn Taymiyya, his deviant ideas became scourge of Muslim nations and with the advent of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab in the twelfth century, the diversion was completed. The belief in prohibition of travel to visit the Prophet's shrine and also belief in the separation of purgatory life (Barzakh), are from the outstanding errors and deviations of Wahhabis who They have tried in vogue. In the meantime, in addition to the Shi'ite Muslim scholars who wrote books and pamphlets and presented speeches stand against this deviation, Sunni scholars also with no exception, by writing books and articles, have emphasized the importance and value of pilgrimage to the Holy Prophet (Saw). Although the first monographs on pilgrimage by Sunni scholars is in the fourth century, but most of them were organized from the seventh century onwards, and this suggests that from ancient times this was important to them.

Key words: Monographs, Pilgrimage, Sunni, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab.
