مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ اَلْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« يُصَلَّى عَلَى اَلْجِنَازَةِ فِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِصَلاَةِ رُكُوعٍ وَ لاَ سُجُودٍ وَ إِنَّمَا تُكْرَهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا اَلَّتِي فِيهَا اَلْخُشُوعُ وَ اَلرُّكُوعُ وَ اَلسُّجُودُ لِأَنَّهَا تَغْرُبُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ وَ تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ»
Muhammad ibn Ya'qub from Abu Ali al-Ash'ari from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-Ala ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام said: “The funeral prayer (Salat Al Mayyit) may be performed at any hour, for it is not a prayer of bowing (ruku') and prostration (sujud). Rather, what is disliked is prayer at sunrise and at sunset, the prayer which contain humility (khushu), bowing (rukuh), and prostration (sujud) because sun sets between the horns of a devil and it rises between the horns of a devil.” (metaphorical warning not to imitate non-Islamic or pagan rituals as they used to do)
