“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem””Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
Imam al-Bukhari writes:”Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has said, ‘The status of
the deceased is raised [during their time in the grave], and the deceased ask Allah
why this has happened. Allah replies,’Your son has prayed for your
forgiveness'” [al-Bukhari, Al-Adab Al-Mufid, chapter on ‘Excellency
of Parents’]From this particular hadith it can be understood that not only charity, but the offering of prayers
(making duas) and the giving of alms, will also benefit the deceased.
The Prophet of Allah ﷺ
Said: Recite It (Iqarahu) on (‘Inda) the
deceased/dying that means Surah Yaseen.(Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab Al Janaiz
#1438)The commentator of Sunan Ibn Majah further states: His saying : On the deceased/dying — That is to say on
the dying or (Aw) after (Ba’ad) death Also.(Sharh Sunan Ibn Majah Al
Sanadi , Ibid)
In the commentary of Sunan Abu Dawud,
entitled Awn Al Ma’bud Sharh Sunan Abi Dawud it states: And in Nasai the hadith
from Ibn Abbas: He prayed the funeral prayer and read the Fatiha.
The Prophet ﷺ
said: iqra’u
`ala mawtakum ya seen “Read Ya
Seen over those of you who are dying/deceased.” Abu Dawud in his
Sunan (Jana’iz)al-Nasa’i in his Sunan (`Amal al-yawm wal-layla),Ibn Majah in
his Sunan (Jana’iz),
Narrated byMa’qil ibn Yasar al-Muzani-The Prophet ﷺ said, “If anyone
recites Ya-Sin out of a desire for Allah’s favour, his past sins will be
forgiven him; so recite it over those of you who are dying.”Bayhaqi
transmitted it in Shu’ab al-Iman.Al-Tirmidhi Hadith No:2178
Imam Nawawi (RehmatuAllah alihe)
It is narrated in Sahih Muslim from Amr bin al-Aas (RA) that he said: When you have buried me then stand around my
grave for a time in which a Camel could be slaughtered and its meat is
distributed, so that I may “ENJOY YOUR COMPANY” and ascertain what
answer I can give to the messengers (angels) of Allah.
It is narrated in Abu Dawud and Baihaqi with “HASSAN” chain from
Uthman (RA) who said: The Prophet
(Peace be upon him) after burying the deceased used to stand (on his side) and
say: Ask Allah for his forgivenss and that he should stand firm because he is
being questioned.
Imam Shafi’i (rah) and his companions said: To recite something from Quran (at the grave) is recommended, If
“KHATAM UL QURAN” is done then it is even better.
It is narrated in Sunnan Baihaqi with “HASSAN CHAIN” that Ibn Umar (ra) considered it Mustahab to
recite Beginning and ending Ayahs of Surah Baqarah at the grave after burying
[Kitab ul Adhkaar, Page No. 278]
Imam Nawawi said: “Whoever visits
a grave, let him greet its dweller, recite some Qur’an, and make an invocation
for the deceased.”al-Nawawi, Minhaj al-Talibin, end of Kitab
al-Jana’iz.
He also said in al-Majmu` sharh al-muhadhdhab: “It is
desirable (mustahabb) that one who is
visiting the graves recite from the Qur’an what is easy for him to recite,
after which, that he invoke Allah on their behalf. Shafi`i stipulated it
and his companions all agreed with him.” In another place he says: “If they conclude the recitation of the
Qur’an over the grave it is better.”Suyuti mentioned both excerpts
in his Sharh al-sudur (p. 311).
“The scholars have declared
desirable — mustahabb — the recitation of the Qur’an over the grave.”Imam
Nawai Sharh Sahih Muslim (al-Mays ed. 3/4:206)
It is related that al-`Ala’ ibn al-Lajlaj said to his children: “When you bury me, say as you place me
in the side-opening (lahd) of the grave: Bismillah wa `ala millati rasulillah
— In the name of Allah and according to the way of Allah’s Messenger — then
flatten the earth over me, and read at the head of my grave the beginning of
Surat al-Baqara and its end, for I have seen that Ibn `Umar liked it.”
Narrated by Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (4:56),Ibn Qudama in al-Mughni (2:474,
2:567, 1994 ed. 2:355)al-Tabarani in al-Kabir, and Haythami said in Majma`
al-zawa’id (3:44) that the latter’s narrators were all declared trustworthy.
Ibn Taymiyya writes:”From the authentic ahadith there is evidence pointing
out that the deceased person will gain
rewards from all the good deeds carried out on his/her behalf by others. Some
people raise the objection that a person can only gain reward from their own
actions, and refer to the Qur’an [for evidence]. This is not correct. Firstly, because a Muslim recieves the reward
of those deeds that he /she has never done themselves [for example]:
like Allah says in the Qur’an that the
angels of the Throne of Allah, glorify Allah and ask for forgiveness on behalf
of all the Muslims.It is also evident from the Qur’an [that] Allah Most
High ordered Prophet Muhammad (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) to pray for his Umma, since his du’a’ is the
peace of mind for the Umma. In the same way, the du’a is offered in the funeral prayer, when visiting the grave and
when praying for the deceased
“Secondly, we know that Allah Most
High rewards us through the deeds of other people, which are carried out on our
behalf. An example is where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, ‘Whenever a Muslim
prays for other Muslims, Allah appoints an angel to say Amin’ – i.e. the
angel asks Allah for the acceptance of the prayer. Sometimes Allah blesses the participants of the funeral prayer in
response to the prayer from the deceased and vice-versa” [Ibn
Taymiyya, Mujmu’ al-Fatawa, Saudia Arabian edition, vol.7, page 500 &
vol.24, page 367]
