The Funeral Prayer (salat Al-janazah) — Hadith 466

Hadith. 466 - When the Messenger of Allah (sw) offered the funeral prayer over a deceased person, he would recite the first takbir and then recite the testimony of faith (shahada). He would then recite the second takbir, send blessings upon the Prophet and his family, and make supplications. Upon the third takbir, he would pray for the believing men and women. After the fourth takbir, he would supplicate for the deceased, And then conclude with a fifth takbir before leaving. When Allah (swt), the Exalted, forbade him from praying over the hypocrites, he recited the first takbir, recited the shahada, then recited the second takbir, sent blessings upon the Prophet and his family, recited the third takbir, and prayed for the believing men and women. Upon the fourth takbir, he did not offer any supplication for the deceased and then concluded.
