Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 10
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ عَلَى اَلْجَنَائِزِ حِينَ تَغِيبُ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ اِسْتِغْفَارٌ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Ubaydullah al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “There is no harm in performing the funeral prayer when the sun sets and when it rises; it is merely a seeking of forgiveness.”
