سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ فَقَالَ تُكَبِّرُ خَمْسَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ تَقُولُ أَوَّلَ مَا تُكَبِّرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ لِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَحْيَائِنَا وَ أَمْوَاتِنَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ أَلِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِ أَخْيَارِنَا وَ اهْدِنَا لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ فَإِنْ قَطَعَ عَلَيْكَ التَّكْبِيرَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَلَا يَضُرُّكَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي افْتَقَرَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ اسْتَغْنَيْتَ عَنْهُ اللَّهُمَّ فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَ زِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَ ارْحَمْهُ وَ نَوِّرْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ لَقِّنْهُ حُجَّتَهُ وَ أَلْحِقْهُ بِنَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَ لَا تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُ تَقُولُ هَذَا حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنْ خَمْسِ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Awrama, from Zur’at Bin Muhammad, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon the deceased, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Exclaim five <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>s saying in the first of the <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>s, ‘I testify that there is no God except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Alone, there being no associates to him, and I testify that Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is His<sup>azwj</sup> servant and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Send Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and upon the Imams<sup>asws</sup> of Guidance, and Forgive us and our brethren who preceded us with the faith, and do not Make rancor to be in our hears for those who believe. Our Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! You<sup>azwj</sup> are Gracious, Merciful. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Forgive our living ones and our dead ones from the beliving men and the believing women, and Make our hearts to be fond upon the hearts of our good ones, and Guide us to what we are differing in, from the Truth, by Your<sup>azwj</sup> Permission. You<sup>azwj</sup> Guide whoever You<sup>azwj</sup> so Desire to the Straight Path’. So if the second exclamation of <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span> cuts off upon you, it would not harm you. You should be saying, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! (This is) Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant, son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant, and son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> Maid. You<sup>azwj</sup> are more Knowing of him than I am. He is needy to Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mercy and You<sup>azwj</sup> are Needless from him. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Overlook from his sins and Increase in his good deeds and Forgive him, and be Merciful to him, and Illuminate for him in his grave, and Cause him to meet his Proof<sup>asws</sup> and meet up with his Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, and do not Deprive us from its Recompense and not do Try us after him’. You should be saying this until you are free from the five <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>s’.
