Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12064 — Supplicating for the deceased after

Khalid bin Sumayr said: I was with al-Ahnaf at the funeral of Dirar bin al-Qa'qa' al-Tamimi. Al-Ahnaf sat down, so I sat with him. When the burial was finished, I saw al-Ahnaf go to his grave and stand over it, and before the supplication he began by praising him, saying: "By Allah, you were, as far as I know, such-and-such; by Allah, you were, as far as I know, such-and-such." Then he supplicated for him.
