Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 10
عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْجَنَازَةِ لَمْ أُدْرِكْهَا حَتَّى بَلَغَتِ اَلْقَبْرَ أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا قَالَ« إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْفَنَ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهَا»
From him, from Muhammad ibn al-Walid from Yunus ibn Ya'qub from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a funeral that I did not catch, until it reached the grave. Should I pray over it? Imam عليه السلام said: “If you reach it before it is buried, then if you wish, you may pray over it.”
