Visiting the graves of the martyrs at Uhud, including the grave of Hamzah (নবী করীম's uncle), is মুস্তাহাব as part of the general Sunnah of visiting graves. নবী করীম visited them and made dua for them. The visitor should greet them with salam and make দোয়া. However, making the visit a formal ritual, rubbing the graves, or seeking blessings from the mountain itself has no basis in the Sunnah.
Visiting the graves of the martyrs of Uhud is মুস্তাহাব as part of the general Sunnah of visiting graves. নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) himself visited the martyrs of Uhud, made dua for them, and said his farewell to them. Hamzah ibn Abdil-Muttalib, নবী করীম's uncle and the 'Lion of Allah,' is among those buried there, along with approximately seventy other companions who fell in the Battle of Uhud.
Sheikh Ibn Baz stated that visiting the martyrs of Uhud follows the same etiquette as visiting any graveyard: the visitor greets the deceased with the Sunnah greeting, makes dua for them, and reflects on death and sacrifice for the sake of Allah. The visit is a beautiful reminder of the sacrifices made by the companions and the meaning of steadfastness in faith.
However, Sheikh Ibn Baz also warned against several practices that have no basis in the Sunnah: climbing Mount Uhud as a ritual, touching or rubbing the mountain seeking blessings, taking stones or soil from Uhud as 'blessed objects,' making dua to the martyrs (rather than for them), or considering the visit an ওয়াজিব part of the হজ্জ or উমরাহ trip. The visit to Uhud is voluntary and falls under the general recommendation to visit graves. It is not connected to the rites of হজ্জ or উমরাহ in any way.
নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) prayed over the dead of Uhud eight years later, as if bidding farewell to the living and the dead.
