Hadith 11381

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا وُضِعَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي الْقَبْرِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ {مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى} [طه: 55] قَالَ ثُمَّ لَا أَدْرِي أَقَالَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَمْ لَا فَلَمَّا بُنِيَ عَلَيْهَا لَحْدُهَا طَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ إِلَيْهِمُ الْجَبُوبَ وَيَقُولُ ”سُدُّوا خِلَالَ اللَّبِنِ“ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”أَمَا إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ يَطِيبُ بِنَفْسِ الْحَيِّ“
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), was placed in the grave, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse {مِنْہَا خَلَقْنَاکُمْ وَفِیْہَا نُعِیْدُکُمْ وَمِنْہَا نُخْرِجُکُمْ تَارَۃً أُخْرٰی} … "We created you from this earth, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once again." (Surah Ta-Ha, 55) Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I do not know whether after this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this supplication or not: "Bismillah, wa fi sabilillah, wa 'ala millati Rasoolillah." (With the name of Allah, in the way of Allah, and according to the way of the Messenger of Allah.) When the grave was sealed with bricks, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw some clay towards the people and said: "Fill the gaps between the bricks with this." Then he said: "This is not something necessary, but it just gives some comfort to the living."

Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... Some people recite this verse when lowering the deceased into the grave or when throwing soil into it; their action is not correct, because this hadith is weak. However, at the time of lowering the deceased into the grave, these supplications should be recited:
Bismillah wa ‘ala millati Rasoolillah.
Bismillah wa ‘ala sunnati Rasoolillah.
Bismillah wa billah wa ‘ala millati Rasoolillah.

Chapter: And among them is Ibrahim ibn Rasoolillah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
