إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَدْفِنَ الْمَيِّتَ فَلْيَكُنْ أَعْقَلُ مَنْ يَنْزِلُ فِي قَبْرِهِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَ لْيَكْشِفْ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ حَتَّى يُفْضِيَ بِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ يُدْنِي فَمَهُ إِلَى سَمْعِهِ وَ يَقُولُ اسْمَعْ افْهَمْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ اللَّهُ رَبُّكَ وَ مُحَمَّدٌ نَبِيُّكَ وَ الْإِسْلَامُ دِينُكَ وَ فُلَانٌ إِمَامُكَ اسْمَعْ وَ افْهَمْ وَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ هَذَا التَّلْقِينَ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Mahfouz Al Iskaaf, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Whenever you want to bury the deceased, so let the wisest one enter into his grave to be by his head, and let him uncover his right cheek until it is exposed to the ground and go near his mouth to his ear and he should be saying, ‘Listen, understand!’ – three times, ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is your Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is your Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, and Al Islam is your Religion, and so and so is your Imam<sup>asws</sup>. Listen and understand’; and repeat it to him three times, this indoctrination (<span class="iTxt">Talqeen</span>)’.
