Hadith 28

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muhammad Bin Ajlan, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘When you come with your brother to the grave, do not be sudden with him with the grave. Place him away from the grave by two cubits or three until he takes his readiness for that, then place him in his Lahad. And if you are capable of adhering his cheek with the ground and uncover from his cheek, then do so, and let the foremost of the people with him be from what follows his head, and let him seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the Satan-la, and let him recite Opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and ‘Al Moauzateyn’, and (Surah) Al Tawheed, and Ayat Al Kursi, then let him say what he known until he ends to his companion’’. [45]
He said, ‘And it is reported in another Hadeeth –
‘When you come with the deceased to the grave, do not be sudden with him with the grave, for there are mighty horrors for the grave, and seek Refuge from the emerging horror, but place him near to the edge of the grave and be patient upon him for a while, then forward him a little, and be patient upon him. Let him take his readiness. Then forward him to the edge of the grave’’. [46]
