سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَادٍّ اَلْقَلاَنِسِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُدْرِكُ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ فِي اَلْجِنَازَةِ تَكْبِيرَةً أَوْ تَكْبِيرَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ« يُتِمُّ اَلتَّكْبِيرَ وَ هُوَ يَمْشِي مَعَهَا فَإِذَا لَمْ يُدْرِكِ اَلتَّكْبِيرَ كَبَّرَ عِنْدَ اَلْقَبْرِ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَدْرَكَهُمْ وَ قَدْ دُفِنَ كَبَّرَ عَلَى اَلْقَبْرِ»
Sa’ad narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from al-Nadr ibn Shu’ayb from Khalid ibn Maad al-Qalanisi from a man from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him. He said: I heard Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام say regarding a man, who catches one or two takbirs, with the imam (of prayer) in the funeral prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: “He should complete the takbirs while walking with it (the bier). If he does not catch the takbirs, he should say the takbirs at the grave. And if he reaches them (funeral) after it has already been buried, he should say the takbirs over the grave.”
