لَيْسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ قِرَاءَةٌ وَ لَا دُعَاءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ تَدْعُو بِمَا بَدَا لَكَ وَ أَحَقُّ الْمَوْتَى أَنْ يُدْعَى لَهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Zurara and Ma’mar Bin Yahya and Ismail Al Ju’fy, from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘In the <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon the deceased there is neither a recitation (of a Chapter of the Holy Quran), nor any Prescribed supplication. You can supplicate with whatever comes to you, and it is a right of the deceased that the Believer should supplicate for him, and that he should begin with the sending of Blessings upon Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>’.
