رَبَّنَا اتِنَا فِى الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً
Rabbanā atinā fiā ad-dunyā ḥasanatan
Imam al-Sadiq ('a) is reported to have said that it is recommended to inform the brethren-in-faith about the death of their brother so that they will present themselves in the funeral ceremonies, offer prayers on his dead body, and implore Almighty Allah's forgiveness for him. Once they do so, both they and the dead person will be awarded. According to another acceptably reported tradition, Imam al- Sadiq ('a) has said, "When a faithful believer is entered into the grave, he hears a caller saying to him: Verily, the first of Your gifts is Paradise and the first of the gifts of those who followed you (in your funeral ceremony) is forgiveness." According to another tradition, lmam al-Sadiq ('a) has said, "The first gift of a faithful believer in his grave is that all those who have followed his funeral will be forgiven." According to another tradition, Imam al-Sadiq ('a) has said, "Whoever follows the funeral of a faithful believer to the grave, Almighty Allah will order seventy angels to escort him on the Resurrection Day and to implore Allah's forgiveness for him from the grave to the situation of the Judgement." The Imam ('a) is also reported to have said, "Whoever participates in carrying the coffin of a dead faithful believer, Almighty Allah will forgive twenty-five of his grand sins. If he carries the four legs (consecutively) of the coffin, all his sins will be forgiven." CARRYING THE DEAD PERSON AND THE COFFIN The coffin should be carried by four men and it is better for the one who escorts the deceased to start with carrying the dead body from the side of the right hand, which is situated to the left side of the coffin. Then, he should carry the body from the side of the right leg. Turning to the backside of the coffin, he should then carry the side of the left leg on the left shoulder and then the side of the left hand on the left shoulder. If he intends to take another tour, he must avoid passing from the front side of the coffin, rather, he must turn from its backside. Hence, this tour starts with carrying the side of the right hand of the deceased in the same previous way. However, this way is contradictory to the instruction of the majority of scholars, who have instructed that the point from which a coffin should be carried begins with the right side of the front of the coffin followed by carrying the right side of the coffin from the backside. Then, the left side is carried from the backside and then from the front side. However, the earlier way is in fact corresponding with the most validly reported traditions. Most preferably, the two ways may be followed. It is also most preferable to walk either behind or to the two side of the coffin rather than in front of it. Yet, the majority of traditions apparently maintain that it is better to walk in front of the coffin of the faithful believers and it is disapproved to walk in front of the coffin of the dead person who follows another sect (i.e. non-Shiite), for the angel receives the coffin with chastisement. Finally, it is discommended to follow a funeral riding. Our Lord! Grant us good in this world
Imepokewa kwamba Imaam al-Sadiq (a.s.) alisema kwamba inapendekezwa kuwajulisha ndugu katika imani kuhusu kifo cha ndugu yao ili wajihudhurie katika sherehe za maziko, waswali maiti yake, na wamuombee msamaha Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu. Wakishafanya hivyo, wao na maiti watatunukiwa. Kwa mujibu wa hadithi nyingine inayokubalika, Imamu Sadiq (a.s.) amesema: “Muumini mwaminifu anapoingia kaburini, humsikia mwitaji akimwambia: Hakika zawadi ya kwanza katika zawadi Zako ni Pepo na zawadi ya kwanza ya waliokufuata (katika sherehe yako ya maziko) ni msamaha.” Kwa mujibu wa hadithi nyingine, lmam al-Sadiq ('a) amesema, "Zawadi ya kwanza ya Muumini mwaminifu katika kaburi lake ni kwamba wale wote waliofuata mazishi yake watasamehewa." Kwa mujibu wa hadithi nyingine, Imamu al-Sadiq (a.s.) amesema: “Mwenye kufuata mazishi ya Muumini mwaminifu hadi kaburini, Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu atawaamrisha Malaika sabini kumsindikiza Siku ya Kiyama na kumuombea msamaha Mwenyezi Mungu kutoka kaburini hadi kwenye hali ya Hukumu. Imam (a.s.) pia inaripotiwa kuwa alisema, "Yeyote atakayeshiriki katika kubeba jeneza la Muumini aliyekufa, Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu atamsamehe madhambi yake makubwa ishirini na tano. Akibeba miguu minne ya jeneza (mfululizo) atasamehewa dhambi zake zote." KUBEBA MAREHEMU NA JENEZA Jeneza libebwe na wanaume wanne na ni vyema yule anayemsindikiza marehemu aanze kwa kubeba maiti kutoka upande wa mkono wa kulia uliopo upande wa kushoto wa jeneza. Kisha, anapaswa kubeba mwili kutoka upande wa mguu wa kulia. Akigeuka upande wa nyuma wa jeneza, basi anapaswa kubeba upande wa mguu wa kushoto kwenye bega la kushoto na kisha upande wa mkono wa kushoto kwenye bega la kushoto. Ikiwa ana nia ya kuchukua ziara nyingine, lazima aepuke kupita kutoka upande wa mbele wa jeneza, badala yake, lazima ageuke kutoka upande wake wa nyuma. Kwa hivyo, ziara hii huanza na kubeba upande wa mkono wa kulia wa marehemu kwa njia ile ile ya awali. Hata hivyo, njia hii inapingana na maelekezo ya wanazuoni walio wengi, ambao wameagiza kwamba mahali ambapo jeneza linapaswa kubebwa huanza na upande wa kulia wa mbele ya jeneza na kufuatiwa na kubeba upande wa kulia wa jeneza kutoka upande wa nyuma. Kisha, upande wa kushoto unafanywa kutoka upande wa nyuma na kisha kutoka upande wa mbele. Walakini, njia ya mapema kwa kweli inalingana na mila zilizoripotiwa kihalali. Ikiwezekana zaidi, njia hizo mbili zinaweza kufuatwa. Pia ni vyema zaidi kutembea nyuma au pande mbili za jeneza badala ya mbele yake. Walakini, hadithi nyingi zaonekana zinashikilia kwamba ni bora kutembea mbele ya jeneza la waumini waaminifu na haikubaliki kutembea mbele ya jeneza la mtu aliyekufa ambaye anafuata madhehebu nyingine (yaani asiye Mshia), kwani malaika hupokea jeneza kwa adhabu. Hatimaye, inakataliwa kufuata safari ya mazishi. Mola wetu Mlezi! Utujalie mema katika ulimwengu huu
وَ فِى الْأخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً

na Akhera njema,
وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ.
