Chapter on the Prayer over the Dead

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ لَمْ يَبْرَحْ مِنْ مُصَلاَّهُ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا عَلَى أَيْدِي اَلرِّجَالِ»
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated from Abu Ja’far from his father from Hafs ibn Ghiyath from Imam Ja’far عليه السلام from his father, Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام, peace be upon them both: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام narrated from Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام: “Indeed, Imam Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, when He عليه السلام prayed over a deceased person (Salat Al Mayyit), would not leave his place of prayer until He عليه السلام saw it being carried by the hands of the men.”
