It wasnarrated from Ibn Buraidah from his father that the Prophet(ﷺ)offered the funeral prayer for a deceased person after he hadbeenburied.

“There was a black woman whousedto sweep the mosque, and she passed away at night. The followingmorning the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was told of her death. He said:‘Why did you not call me?’ Then he went out with his Companionsandstood at her grave, and said Takbir over her, with the peoplebehindhim, and he supplicated for her, then he went away.’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:‘Najashi has died.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and hisCompanions went out to Al-Baqi’, and we lined up in rows behindhim,and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went forward, then he said fourTakbir.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said: ‘Your brother Najashi has died, so offer the funeral prayerforhim.” Then he stood and we prayed behind him. I was in thesecond rowand two rows prayed for him.”

“Your brother Najashi has died, sostand and prayfor him.” So we formed two rows behind him.

“Pray for a brother of yours who has died in a landotherthan yours.” They said: “Who is he?” He said: “Najashi.”

It wasnarrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) offered thefuneralprayer for Najashi and said four Takbir.

“Whoeveroffers the funeral prayer will have one Qirat and whoeverawaitsuntil (the burial) is finished will have two Qirat.” They said:‘What are these two Qirat?’ He said: ‘Like two mountains.’”

“Whoever offers the funeral prayer will have one Qirat and whoeverattends the burial will have two Qirat.” The Prophet (ﷺ) wasaskedabout the Qirat and he said: “(It is) like Uhud.”

‘Whoever offers the funeral prayer will have one Qirat; andwhoever attends until the burial is over, will have two Qirat. By theOne in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! The Qirat is greater thanthis (mountain of) Uhud.”

“When you see a funeral (procession) stand up for it until it haspassed by or it is placed on the ground.”

“A funeral has passed by theProphet (ﷺ) and he stood up and said: ‘Stand up out ofrecognitionof the enormity of death.’”

“The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) stood up for a funeral, and we stood up, until he sat down,thenwe sat down.”

“When the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) followed a funeral, he would not sit down until it hadbeen placed in the niche-grave. A rabbi came to him and said: ‘Thisiswhat we do, O Muhammad!’ So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) satdown andsaid: ‘Be different from them.’”

“I could not find him, meaning theProphet (ﷺ), and he was in Al-Baqi’. He said: “As-salamu‘alaykumdara qawmin mu’minin. Antum lana faratun wa inna bikumlahiqun.Allahumma la tahrimna ajrahum wa la taftinna ba’dahum.(Peace be uponyou, O abode of believing people. You have gone aheadof us and verilywe will join you soon. O Allah, do not deprive us oftheir reward anddo not put us to trial after them).”

“TheMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to teach them, when they went out tothegraveyard, to say: As-salamu ‘alaykum ahlad-diyarminal-mu’minina wal-muslimin, wa inna insha’ Allah bikum lahiqun,nas’alul-laha lana walakumul-‘afiyah (Peace be upon you, Oinhabitants of the abodes,believers and Muslims, and we will joinyou soon if Allah wills. Weask Allah for well-being for us and foryou).’”

“We went out with theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) for a funeral, and he sat facing the Qiblah(prayer direction).”

“We went out with theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) for a funeral, and we came to a grave. Hesatdown and we sat down, as if there were birds on our heads.”

“When the deceased was placed inthe grave, the Prophet (ﷺ) would say: ‘Bismillah, wa ‘alamillatirasul-illah (In the Name of Allah and according to thereligion of theMessenger of Allah).’” Abu Khalid said on oneoccasion, when thedeceased was placed in the grave: “Bismillah wa‘ala sunnati rasul-illah (In the Name of Allah and according to theSunnah of theMessenger of Allah).” Hisham said in his narration:“Bismillah, wa fisabil-illah, wa ‘ala millati rasul-illah (Inthe Name of Allah, forthe sake of Allah and according to thereligion of the Messenger ofAllah).”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)placed Sa’d gently in his grave and sprinkled water on it.”
