ِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ٠َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْ٠ِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ ٠َحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ سَ٠َاعَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلا٠َا أَقُولُ إِذَا أَدْخَلْتُ الْ٠ِنَّا قَبْرَهُ قَالَ قُلِ الله٠َّ هَذَا عَبْدُكَ فُلاَنٌ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ قَدْ نَزَلَ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ ٠َنْزُولٍ بِهِ وَقَدِ احْتَاجَ إِلَى رَحْ٠ِنْهُ إِلاَّ خَيْراً وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَ٠ُ بِسَرِيرَتِهِ وَنَحْنُ الشُّهَدَاءُ بِعَلاَنِيَتِهِ الله٠َّ فَجَافِ الأرْضَ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ وَلَقِّنْهُ حُجَّتَهُ وَاجْعَلْ هَذَا الْيَوْ٠ٍ أَتَى عَلَيْهِ وَاجْعَلْ هَذَا الْقَبْرَ خَيْرَ بَيْتٍ نَزَلَ فِيهِ وَصَيِّرْهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ ٠َّا كَانَ فِيهِ وَوَسِّعْ لَهُ فِي ٠َدْ��َلِهِ وَآنِسْ وَحْشَتَهُ وَاغْفِرْ ذَنْبَهُ وَلاَ تَحْرِ٠ْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلاَ تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ. 8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Sanaa ‘ah who has said the following: “I asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘What should we say when placing a deceased from us in the grave?’ He said to say, ‘O Allah, this is Your servant so and so son of Your servant who has become Your guest and You are the best host. He is in need of Your mercy. O Allah, all we know from him is good. You know his secrets. We are only witnesses about his appearances. O Allah, make the earth spacious on his both sides. Dictate to him the statement of authority (that he needs) and make this day the best of days that he has ever lived. Make this grave the best house where he has ever lived. Place him in the best of what he has ever experienced.
