حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الدَّلَّالُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَا عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَيِّتِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَدْرَءُوا عَنْ مَيِّتِهِمْ لِقَاءَ مُنْكَرٍ وَ نَكِيرٍ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ إِذَا أُفْرِدَ الْمَيِّتُ فَلْيَتَخَلَّفْ عِنْدَهُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِهِ فَيَضَعُ فَمَهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ يُنَادِي بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ أَوْ يَا فُلَانَةَ بِنْتَ فُلَانٍ هَلْ أَنْتَ عَلَى الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي فَارَقْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ أَنَّ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ الْمَوْتَ حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ الْبَعْثَ حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ مُنْكَرٌ لِنَكِيرٍ انْصَرِفْ بِنَا عَنْ هَذَا فَقَدْ لُقِّنَ حُجَّتَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from one of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Ismail who said, ‘Abu Al Hassan Al Dallal narrated to me, from Yahya Bin Abdullah who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘What is upon the family of the deceased from you is that they should be ejecting from their deceased the meeting of Munkar and Nakeer (two questioning Angels)’. I said, ‘How can they do so?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the deceased is alone (after the burial), so let the closest one of the people to him remain behind, and he should place his mouth by his head, then he should call out in a high voice, ‘O so and so, son of so and so!’ Or, ‘O so and so daughter of so and so! Are you still upon the Covenant which (you were upon) when you separated from us, from the testimony that there is no God except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, alone, there being no associates for Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and that Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is His<sup>azwj</sup> servant and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>, chief of the Prophets<sup>as</sup>, and that Ali<sup>asws</sup> Amir Al Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, chief of the successors<sup>as</sup>, and that whatever Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> came with is truth, and that the death is truth, and that the Resurrection is truth, and that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would be Resurrections the one who are in the graves’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So Munkar would be saying to Nakeer: ‘Let us leave from this one, for he has been dictated his arguments’.
