Abd al-Rahman bin al-Ala' bin al-Lajlaj narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to his son: When you bring me into my grave and place me in the niche, say: "Bismillah wa 'ala sunnati Rasulillah" (In the name of Allah and upon the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)). Then pour the earth over me, and at my head recite from the beginning of Surah al-Baqarah and from its ending, for I saw Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he regarded it as recommended.
