قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَقُولُ إِذَا أَدْخَلْتُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَّا قَبْرَهُ قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَبْدُكَ فُلَانٌ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ قَدْ نَزَلَ بِكَ وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْزُولٍ بِهِ وَ قَدِ احْتَاجَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا خَيْراً وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسَرِيرَتِهِ وَ نَحْنُ الشُّهَدَاءُ بِعَلَانِيَتِهِ اللَّهُمَّ فَجَافِ الْأَرْضَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ وَ لَقِّنْهُ حُجَّتَهُ وَ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ خَيْرَ يَوْمٍ أَتَى عَلَيْهِ وَ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْقَبْرَ خَيْرَ بَيْتٍ نَزَلَ فِيهِ وَ صَيِّرْهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ مِمَّا كَانَ فِيهِ وَ وَسِّعْ لَهُ فِي مَدْخَلِهِ وَ آنِسْ وَحْشَتَهُ وَ اغْفِرْ ذَنْبَهُ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَ لَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Sama’at who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What should I be saying when I enter into the grave of a deceased of ours?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Say, ‘This is Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant, so and so, and a son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant who had lodged with You<sup>azwj</sup> and You<sup>azwj</sup> are the best of the Hosts with him, and he is needy to Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mercy. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! And we do not know from him except for goodness and You<sup>azwj</sup> are more Knowing with his secrets, and we are the witnesses of the apparent. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Expand the ground from his two sides, and let him meet his Proof<sup>asws</sup> and Make this day to be the best day to come upon him, and Make this grave to be the best house he had lodged in, and for him to come to be into goodness from what he used to be in, and Expand for him in his entrance, and Comfort his fear, and Forgive his sins, and do not Deprive us of its Recompense, nor Let us stray after him’.
