Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

Ahmad, from Ibn Faddal and Ibn Abi Najran, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "It is proper for one who accompanies a funeral procession not to sit until the deceased is placed in the grave. Once the deceased is placed in the grave, then there is no harm in sitting."
