Chapter on the Prayer over the Dead

Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Umar ibn Udhaynah from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him. He said: Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام said: “When you pray (Salat Al Mayyit) over a believer, supplicate for him and strive in supplication. And if he was a Waqifi, deemed weak (mustad'af), then perform the takbir and say: ‘O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, forgive those who repented and followed Your path, and protect them from the punishment of the blazing fire.’”
