Then come out from the grave and say, ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Raise his ranks in the high Illiyeen, and Replace upon his posterity in the future, and in Your-azwj Presence is his Reckoning, O Lord-azwj of the worlds! ’
When they bury him, place your palm upon his grave by his head and open your fingers and grip your palm upon it after having sprinkled with the water. When they leave, place the mouth by his head and call out to him at the top of your voice, ‘O so and so, son of so and so! Are you upon the Covenant which you had separated (from the world) upon, from the testimony that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, and Ali Amir Al-Momineen-asws is your Imam-asws, and so is, so and so, and so and so’ – until your come to the last of them-asws. When that is done, one of the two Angels will say to his companion, ‘We have been sufficed with the entering to see him regarding our questioning to him, for he has been indoctrinated! ’ So they both leave from him and do not enter to see him’’. [77]
And he-asws said: ‘The Sunnah in sprinkling the water is that you should face the Qiblah and begin from by the head to by the leg, then rotate upon the grave from the other side, then sprinkle upon middle of the grave’’. [78]
And he-asws said: ‘When you come with the deceased, place him besides his grave by two cubits or three, and leave him until he gets ready for the grave, and do not be sudden with him’’. [79]
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘There is no one saying three times by the grave of a deceased when he has been buried, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww not to Punish this deceased’, except Allah-azwj will Raise the Punishment from him to the day the Trumpet will be blown into’’. And from Al-Reza-asws: ‘One who comes to the grave of his brother and places his hand upon the grave, and recites (Surah) Al Qadr seven times, he (deceased) would be safe from the greatest panic’’. [80]
And from Abu Al Miqdam who said, ‘I passed by Al-Baqie (cemetery) with Abu Ja’far-asws. We passed by the grave of a man from the Shias’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws paused at it, then said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Mercy his estrangement, and Connect his loneliness, and Comfort his scaredness, and Settle to him from Your-azwj Mercy, such a Mercy he will be needless by it from mercy of the ones apart from You-azwj, and Join him with the ones he used to befriend’’.
