Hadith 55

(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘For every thing there is a door, and door of the grave is by the legs of the deceased, and it is recommended to descend into the grave bare-footed, uncovered of the head (no turban or cap)’’. [76]
Explanation (Ahadeeth only) – It is reported by Al-Kulayni, from the number, from Sahl, raising it, said, ‘He-asws said: ‘The man can enter the grave from wherever he so desires, and should not exit except from the side of his (deceased’s) legs’’. And it is supported by what is reported by the sheykh in Al-Muwassiq (Al-Kafi), from Ammar, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘For all things there is a door, and door of the grave is from what follows the legs. When the bier is placed, place it from what follows the legs. The man should come out from what follows the legs and call for it until he is placed in his grave, and the soil is evened upon him’’. Al-Kulayni as well by a chain wherein is weakness, upon the well known with Al-Sakuni, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who enters the grave, he should not exit except from the side of the legs (of the deceased)’’.
