يَنْبَغِي لِأَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَيِّتِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا إِخْوَانَ الْمَيِّتِ بِمَوْتِهِ فَيَشْهَدُونَ جَنَازَتَهُ وَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ فَيُكْتَبُ لَهُمُ الْأَجْرُ وَ يُكْتَبُ لِلْمَيِّتِ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ وَ يَكْتَسِبُ هُوَ الْأَجْرَ فِيهِمْ وَ فِيمَا اكْتَسَبَ لِمَيِّتِهِمْ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Wallad and Abdullah bin Sinan, altogether, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is befitting for the guardians of the deceased among you that they should be proclaiming to the brethren of the deceased of his death, so that they would be witnessed his funeral, and they would be praying <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> over him, and they would be seeking Forgiveness for him, so the Recompense would be written for them and the Forgiveness would be written for the deceased; and he (the proclaimer of the news of death) would be earning he Recompensed regarding them and regarding what their deceased would be earning from the Forgiveness’.
