إِذَا وَضَعْتَ الْمَيِّتَ فِي الْقَبْرِ قُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَزَلَ بِكَ وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْزُولٍ بِهِ فَإِذَا سَلَلْتَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ وَ دَلَّيْتَهُ قُلْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اللَّهُمَّ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ لَا إِلَى عَذَابِكَ اللَّهُمَّ افْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ لَقِّنْهُ حُجَّتَهُ وَ ثَبِّتْهُ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ وَ قِنَا وَ إِيَّاهُ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ وَ إِذَا سَوَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ جَافِ الْأَرْضَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ وَ أَصْعِدْ رُوحَهُ إِلَى أَرْوَاحِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ أَلْحِقْهُ بِالصَّالِحِينَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When you place the deceased in the grave, you should say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! This is Your<sup>azwj</sup> and a son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant and a son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> maid. He is lodged with You<sup>azwj</sup> and You<sup>azwj</sup> are the best of the Host with him’. So when you place him from the direction of his left and dangle him, say, ‘In the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and upon the Religion of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! To Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mercy, not to Your<sup>azwj</sup> Punishment. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Expand his grave for him, and let him meet his Proof<sup>asws</sup> and Affirm him with the firm words, and Save us and him from the Punishment of the grave’. And when you even the soil upon him, say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Expand the ground from his two sides and Ascend him to the souls of the Believers in Illiyeen, and Join him with the righteous ones’.
