Chapter on the Prayer over the Dead

Ali ibn al-Hasan from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan from Amr ibn Sa’id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from Ammar al-Sabati from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The deceased may be prayed over, as long as he has not been covered with soil (in his grave), even if the prayer has already been performed over him.”
