Majma al-Zawaid 4243 — What to say when placing the deceased

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ اللَّجْلَاجِ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي أَبِي : يَا بُنَيَّ ، إِذَا مِتُّ فَالْحَدْ لِي لَحْدًا ، فَإِذَا وَضَعْتَنِي فِي لَحْدِي فَقُلْ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ شَنِّ التُّرَابَ عَلِيَّ شَنًّا ، ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي بِفَاتِحَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَخَاتِمَتِهَا ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ .
Abd al-Rahman bin al-Ala' bin al-Lajlaj said: My father said to me: "O my son, when I die, prepare a lahd for me. When you place me in my lahd, say: 'In the name of Allah, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah (I commit him to the earth).' Then pour the earth over me, then recite at my head the opening and closing verses of Surah al-Baqarah, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
