[7] Make the dying person to Acknowledge and Recite the Testimonies: عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَحْضُرُهُ الْمَوْتُ إِلَّا وَكَّلَ بِهِ إِبْلِيسُ مِنْ شَيْطَانِهِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ بِالْكُفْرِ وَ يُشَكِّكَهُ فِي دِينِهِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ نَفْسُهُ فَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا حَضَرْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ فَلَقِّنُوهُمْ شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَتَّى يَمُوتَ Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja, from Abu Abdullah -asws has said, ‘There is no one to whom death presents itself except that Iblees -la allocates one of his -la devils instructing him with the infidelity, and making him doubt in his Religion until his soul exits.
So the one who was a Believer, he -la would not be able over him. Thus, whenever death presents to your dying ones, indoctrinate them with the testimony, ‘There is no god except for Allah -azwj , and that Muhammad -saww is His -azwj Rasool -saww ’, until he dies’. وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ فَلَقِّنْهُ كَلِمَاتِ الْفَرَجِ وَ الشَّهَادَتَيْنِ وَ تُسَمِّي لَهُ الْإِقْرَارَ بِالْأَئِمَّةِ ( عليهم السلام ) وَاحِداً بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ عَنْهُ الْكَلَامُ .
And in another report, ‘He -asws said: ‘Indoctrinate him with the words of relief, and the testimonies, and specify for him the acknowledgement in the Imams -asws , one after one, until the speech is cut off from him’.
[8] Make the dead-body facing the Kabah/Qibla: محمد بن يعقوب، عن علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير عن هشام بن سالم، عن سليمان بن خالد قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: إذا مات لاحدكم ميت فسجوه تجاه القبلة، وكذلك إذا غسل يحفر له موضع المغتسل تجاه القبلة فيكون مستقبل باطن قدميه ووجهه إلى القبلة Mohammed bin Yaqoob says that he has learned through a chain of narrators that Salaman has heard from Imam Abu Abdullah -asws : When one of you would pass away then ensure that the dead is facing Kiblah, after death as well as during the ‘Ghusal-e-Maiyat’ (bathing of dead-body) in such a way that both the face and the feet are in the direction of Kiblah.
