سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ السُّنَّةُ فِي حَمْلِ الْجَنَازَةِ أَنْ تَسْتَقْبِلَ جَانِبَ السَّرِيرِ بِشِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ فَتَلْزَمَ الْأَيْسَرَ بِكَتِفِكَ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ تَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ وَ تَدُورَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ السَّرِيرِ ثُمَّ تَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الرَّابِعِ مِمَّا يَلِي يَسَارَكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from someone else, from Yunus, from Ali Bin Yaqteen, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The Sunnah regarding carrying the funeral coffin is that to lift-up the front corner of the coffin on one’s right shoulder. Thereafter, one should move back to lift-up the second corner of the coffin, then move to the other side of the coffin from the back side to lift-up the third corner and lastly move (forward) to lift-up the fourth corner on one’s left shoulder’. (Anticlockwise movement starting from front end giving right shoulder)
