What to Say in the Prayer for the Dead

17 Yahya related to me from Malik from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi from his father that he had asked Abu Hurayra, " How do you pray over the dead? " and Abu Hurayra replied, " By the Life of Allah, I will tell you! I follow with the family and when the corpse is put down I say, 'Allah is greater' and praise Allah and ask for blessings on His Prophet. Then I say, 'O Allah, he is Your slave and the son of Your male slave and Your female slave. He used to testify that there is no god but You and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger, and You know that best. O Allah! If he acted well, then increase for him his good action, and if he acted wrongly, then overlook his wrong actions. O Allah! Do not deprive us of his reward, and do not try us after him.'"

Allahumma innahu 'abduka wa'bnu 'abdika wa'bnu amatika. Kana yash-hadu an la ilaha illa anta wa anna Muhammadan 'abduka wa rasuluka, wa anta 'alamu bihi. Allahumma in kana muhsinan zid fi ihsanihi, wa in kana musiyan fa tajawaz 'an sayyiatihi. Allahumma la tahrimna ajrahu wa la taftinna ba'dahu.

18 Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Sa'id said that he heard Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab say, " I once prayed behind Abu Hurayra over a child who had never done a wrong action and I heard him say, 'O Allah, give him protection from the torment of the grave.'"

19 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar used not to recite Qur'an when praying over a dead person.

16.7 Permission to Pray over the Dead after Subh until the Dawn is Clear and after 'Asr until the Sun Turns Yellow

20 Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Harmala, the mawla of 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Sufyan ibn Huwaytib, that Zaynab bint Abi Salama died during the time that Tariq was amir of Madina and her bier was broought out after Subh and put in al-Baqi'. He said that Tariq used to pray Subh right at the beginning of its time. He added, " I heard 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar say to the family, 'You can either pray over your dead now or you can wait until the sun comes up.'"

21 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, " The prayer for a dead person can be done after 'Asr and Subh if these have been prayed at their times."

The Prayer over the Dead in General

24 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that 'Uthman ibn 'Affan and 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar and Abu Hurayra used to pray over the dead, both men and women, in Madina. They would put the men nearer to the imam and the women nearer to the qibla.

25 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, when he prayed over the dead, would say, " Peace be upon you" loud enough for whoever was near to him to hear.

26 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar used to say, " No one should pray over a dead person unless he is in wudu'."

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, " I have not seen any person of knowledge disapproving of praying over either a child born of adultery or its mother."

Burying the Dead

27 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died on Monday and was buried on Tuesday and people prayed over him individually with no one leading them. Some people said that he would be buried near the minbar, and others said that he would be buried in al-Baqi'. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq came and said, " I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No Prophet was ever buried except in the place where he died.' " So a grave was dug for him there. When he was about to be washed they wished to take off his shirt but they heard a voice saying " Do not remove his shirt, " so they did not take off his shirt and he was washed with it on, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

28 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa that his father said, " There were two men in Madina, one of whom dug graves with a niche in the side wall for the body, and the other who did not, and they said, 'Whichever one comes first can do the job, ' and the one who dug graves with a niche came first and dug the grave of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."

[In Ibn Majah]

29 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, " I did not believe that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had died until I heard the pickaxes fall."

30 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " I dreamt that three moons fell into my room, and I related my vision to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Then, when the Messenger of Allah died, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and was buried in my house, Abu Bakr said to me, 'This is one of your moons, and he is the best of them.'"

31 Yahya related to me from Malik from more than one reliable source that Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas and Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl died at al-'Aqiq and were carried to Madina and buried there.

32 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa that his father said, " I would not want to be buried in al-Baqi'. I would prefer to be buried elsewhere. The one who is buried in al-Baqi' is one of two people: either he is unjust (dhalim), and I would not like to be buried with him, or he is righteous (salih), and I would not like his bones to be disturbed for me."
