سُلَّهُ سَلًّا رَفِيقاً فَإِذَا وَضَعْتَهُ فِي لَحْدِهِ فَلْيَكُنْ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ مِمَّا يَلِي رَأْسَهُ لِيَذْكُرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ يَتَعَوَّذَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ لْيَقْرَأْ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ إِنْ قَدَرَ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ خَدِّهِ وَ يُلْزِقَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ فَعَلَ وَ يَشْهَدُ وَ يَذْكُرُ مَا يَعْلَمُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ .
Translation
Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muhammad Bin Ajlan, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Place him with a gentle placing. So when you place him in his chasm (<span class="iTxt">Lahad</span>), so let the the closest of the people from what follows his head mention the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> upon him, and he should send Blessings upon the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, and seek Refuge from the Satan<sup>la</sup>, and let him recite the <span class="iTxt">Opening of the Book</span> (Chapter 1), and the <span class="iTxt">Maw’azatayn</span> (Chapters 113 & 114), and <span class="iTxt">Ayat Al Kursy</span> (Chapter 2:255). And if he is able to bare his cheek (of the deceased) and paste his cheek with the ground, so he should do so, and he should testify and mention whatever he knows until he ends up to his companion’.
