Nafi' reports that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed the funeral prayer for nine (9) deceased together; the men were placed towards the imam and the women towards the qiblah, and he arranged the rows of the people. (Similarly) the funeral of the wife of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and the daughter of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyida Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), and her son Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) was held, and rows were formed for both together. On that day, the duties of leading the prayer were performed by Sayyiduna Sa'id bin As (may Allah be pleased with him). Among those who performed the funeral prayer were Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id, and Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with them). The child was placed towards the imam. A man (Ammar, the freed slave of Harith) says: Considering this incorrect, I looked towards Abdullah bin Abbas, Abu Hurairah, Abu Sa'id, and Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: "What is this?" So they replied: "This is the Sunnah."

Zaid bin Talha Taimi says that I heard from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he recited Surah Al-Fatihah and another Surah in the funeral prayer and recited aloud.

Talha bin Abdullah bin Awf, the nephew of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), says: I offered the funeral prayer behind Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them).

He replied: "This is the Sunnah and the truth." This narration is also mentioned with the chain of Muhammad bin Yahya.

Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led the funeral prayer of a deceased person, and I memorized one of his supplications. He was supplicating: "O Allah! Forgive him, have mercy on him, protect him from punishment, pardon him, honor his hospitality, and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water, snow, and hail, and cleanse him of sins as You cleanse a white garment of dirt. Grant him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, and a companion better than his companion. Admit him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave." Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "I wished that I were that deceased person!"

حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرٌ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : ثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَحْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَيْضًا .

Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Sunnah in the funeral prayer is that a person says the takbeer, then recites Surah Al-Fatihah, then sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then sincerely supplicates for the deceased, does not recite (anything) after the first takbeer, then in his heart turns (salam) to his right side.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that I was present when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by a grave in which a deceased had been buried that very night. The Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired: "Whose grave is this?" The companions replied: "This is the grave of such-and-such a man who passed away last night. We did not wish to trouble you at night, lest it be difficult for you or cause you discomfort, so we buried him." The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) stood up, we formed rows behind him, and he performed the funeral prayer for him.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "When any of you gives a shroud to his brother, he should give the best shroud."

Sayyiduna Mus‘ab bin ‘Umair (may Allah be pleased with him) was among them, who was martyred in the Battle of Uhud. Nothing was found to shroud him except a striped sheet. If we covered his head with it, his feet would remain uncovered, and if we covered his feet, his head would remain uncovered. (Seeing this situation) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Cover his head with the sheet and put idhkhir grass on his feet.” Some of us are such whose fruit has ripened and they are harvesting it.
