Al-Kafi 4511

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Wallad who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah^asws about the exclamations of <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span> upon the deceased, so he^asws said: ‘Five. You should be saying in the first of these, ‘I testify that there is no God except for Allah^azwj, Alone, there being no associates for him. O Allah^azwj! Send Blessings upon Muhammad^saww and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad’. Then you should be saying, ‘O Allah^azwj! This enshrouded one in front of us is Your^azwj servant, and a son of Your^azwj servant, and his sould has been Captured to (come) to You^azwj, and he is needy to Your^azwj Mercy and You^azwj Needless from Punishing him. O Allah^azwj! We deo not know from his apparent except for goodness and You^azwj are more Knowing of his secrets. O Allah^azwj! If he was a good doer, so Increase in his good eeds; and if he was an evil doer, so Overlook from his sins’. Then exclaim the second <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span> and you should do that during each <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>’.
