مِنْ أَيْنَ يُدْخَلُ الْمَيِّتُ قَبْرَهُ وَمَا يُقَالُ عِنْدَ ذَالِكَ وَمَنْ يُدْخِلُهُ ، وَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْحَشْيِ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَانْتِظَارِ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الدَّفْنِFrom where the deceased is entered into his grave, what is said at that time, who enters him, what is reported regarding filling the grave, and waiting until burial is finished
Hadith 3258
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِذَا وَضَعْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ فِي الْقَبْرِ، فَقُولُوا: بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you lower your deceased into the grave, recite this supplication: بِاسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَعَلٰی مِلَّۃِ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ (In the name of Allah and upon the way of the Messenger of Allah).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Instead of the word "millah" (way/religion) in this supplication, saying "sunnah" (practice/tradition) is also correct, and in one hadith, the words of this supplication are mentioned as: "Bismillah wa billah wa ‘ala millati Rasoolillah" (In the name of Allah, and with Allah, and upon the way/religion of the Messenger of Allah).
