2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy from Zurarah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘In Salah (prayer) for a deceased say Takbir (Allah is great beyond description), then say, “O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause,” then say, “O Lord, this is Your servant the son of Your male and a female servant. I do not know about him except good but You know more about him than I know. O Lord if he is a person of good deeds, increase his good deeds, but if he is a person of bad deeds, forgive his sins, grant him mercy, make his grave spacious and make him of the friends of Muhammad, O Allah grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.” Then say the second Takbir (Allah is great beyond description). Then say, “O Lord, if he is a person of purity, purify him but if he is a sinner forgive him.” Then say the third Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and say, “O Lord, do not deprive us of receiving rewards because of him and do not put us to trial after him.” Then say the fourth Takbir (Allah is great beyond description). Then say, “O Lord, write him (his name) with You among those of high status and replace him in his children whom he has left behind and make him of the friends of Muhammad, O Allah grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.” Then say the fifth Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and end the Salah (prayer).’”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ قَالَ
تُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللهمَّ عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ لاَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ خَيْراً وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي اللهمَّ إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِناً فَزِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ وَتَقَبَّلْ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئاً فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَافْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَاجْعَلْهُ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَتَقُولُ اللهمَّ إِنْ كَانَ زَاكِياً فَزَكِّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ خَاطِئاً فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ الثَّالِثَةَ وَتَقُولُ اللهمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلاَ تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُ ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ الرَّابِعَةَ وَتَقُولُ اللهمَّ اكْتُبْهُ عِنْدَكَ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَاخْلُفْ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ وَاجْعَلْهُ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ الْخَامِسَةَ وَانْصَرِفْ.
