143] For a person who carries the Bier on his / her shoulder, Allah [S.W.T.] will forgive 25 major sins of the person. Dua of 40 Momins It is narrated from Imam Jafar as-Sadiq [A.S.] that Allah [S.W.T.] will forgive the unseen sins of the deceased if 40 Momins recite the following dua over the body of the deceased: "Allahhumma laa naa'-lamu minhu/minhaa (for female) illa. Khayran wa anta aa'-lamu bihee/bihaa (for female) minnaa." (O Allah!

We are only aware of the good deeds of this dead body but You know much more about him / her than us.) [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988), pg. 144] Duas to be Recited in Funeral Procession with the Coffin It has been narrated by the Holy Prophet of Islam [S.W.S.] that there would not be an angel who is bought to tears and who will show kindness when hearing the following dua: "Allahu akbar haad'aa maa wa-a'danal-laahoo wa rasooluhoo wa s'adaqqal-laahoo wa rasooluh.

Allaahumma zid'naa eemaanan wa tasleemaa. Alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee ta-a'zzad'a bil-qudrati wa qaharal I'baada bil-mawat." (God is great! This is what had been promised to us by God and His Prophet and Allah and His Prophet are true. O Allah elevate us in faith, obedience and piety. All praise is for God Who dominates on account of His Might and Who has subdued mankind with death.)[Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988), pg.

145] There are many blessings in accompanying the deceased in the funeral procession. Refrain from talking about worldly issues while in procession and recite the following: "Ghafarallaahu lakum laa ilaaha illallaahu h'aqqun muh'ammadun rasoolollaahi a'liyyun ameerul moo-mineena waliyullaahi fatimatuz zahraa-u s'afwatullaah alh'asanu walh'usaynu sibt'aa rasoolilaahi wal a-immatut' t'ahireena hujajullaah.

Haad'aa maa wa-a'danaallaahu wa s'adaqa rasooluhoo wa ballaghal mursaloon." (May Allah pardon you. There is no deity but Allah, the Righteous, Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah; Ali, the Commander of the faithfuls is the friend of Allah, Fatimah tuz Zahra is the chosen one of Allah; Hassan and Hussain are the grandsons of the Messenger of Allah; and pure Imams are the indisputable proofs of Allah, this is what Allah has promised and (also) promised by the Prophet of Allah.

This is what is verified by Allah and by His prophet and the Prophets have delivered the same.) [Sayyid, Hadi Husayn (1988), pg.
