Hadith 43

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’ – He-asws said: ‘And when you carry him to his grave, do not be sudden with him with the grave, for there are mighty horrors for the grave, and we seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the emerging horror, but place him down besides the edge of the grave, and be patient upon him for a while. Then he shall forward him to the edge of the grave and enter him into the grave the one whom guardian of the deceased instructs. If he so desires, two, and if he so desires, one. And say, when you look at the grave, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make it a garden from the gardens of Paradise and do not Make it a pit from the pits of the fires! ’
When you enter the grave, then recited Mother of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and ‘Al Moauzateyn’, and ‘Ayat Al Kursy’. When you are in the middle of the graveyard, then recite (Surah) Al Takasur, and recite: ‘From it We Created you and into it We will Return you, and from it We will Extract you once again [20: 55]’. And when you take the deceased, then say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and in the Way of Allah‑azwj, and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah-saww’. Then place him in his Lahad on his right side facing the Qiblah, and loosen the knot of his shroud, and place his cheek upon the soil and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Dry the ground on his sides and Ascend his soul to You-azwj let him meet the Pleasure from You-azwj! ’
Then insert your right hand under his right shoulder and place your left hand upon his left shoulder, and move him with strong movement and say, ‘O so and so, son of so and so! Allah‑azwj is your Lord-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is your Prophet-asws, and is your religion, and Ali-asws is your Guardian-asws and your Imam-asws’ – and name the Imams-asws one by one up to their-asws last one. Then repeat the indoctrination upon him once again. When the brick is placed upon him, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Comfort his dreariness, and Connect his loneliness by Your-azwj Mercy. O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj servant and son of Your-azwj servant, and son of Your-azwj maid has descended in Your-azwj courtyard, and You-azwj are the best Host with him. O Allah-azwj! If he was a good doer, then Increase in his goodness, and if he was an evil doer, then Overlook from him and Forgive (sins) for him. You-azwj are the Forgiving, the Merciful! ’
