22. Call Ażān near my grave.
23. If only some Sayyid Sahib performs Talqīn[1]!
[1] Excellence
of Talqīn: The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
said: When your Muslim brother dies and you have buried him, one of you
should stand at the head side of the grave and say, ‘O son of so and
so!’ He will listen but will not reply. Again say, ‘O son of so and
so!’ He will sit upright. Say once again, ‘O son of so and
so!’ He will say, ‘Advise me. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
have mercy on you.’ But you will not hear him. Then you say:
اُذْ کُرْمَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا : شَهَادَ ةَ اَنْ لَّاۤ اِلٰـهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهٗ وَ رَسُوْلُهٗ (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)، وَ اَنَّكَ رَضِيْتَ بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا وَّ بِا لْاِسْلَامِ دِيْنًا وَّ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) نَبِيًّا وَّ بِا لْقُرْاٰنِ اِمَامًا
Translation: Recall the
[belief] with which you departed from the world i.e. testifying that no one is worthy of worship except Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is His
distinguished bondman and Prophet, and that you were pleased with Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
as Rab (Creator), Islam as your religion, Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as your Prophet and the Holy Quran as your Imām.
Munkar and Nakīr will hold each others’ hands and say, ‘Let’s go, it’s no use to sit beside the one whom people have taught the answer.’ Someone asked the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘If we don’t know the name of his mother, (then)?’ The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘Refer to Ḥawwā (رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا).’
(Ṭabarānī Kabīr, vol. 8, pp. 250, Ḥadīš 7979)
Note: In place of ‘son of so and so’ mention the name of the deceased with his mother’s name, e.g. ‘O Muhammad Ilyās, son of Amīnaĥ’. If you do not know the name of the deceased’s mother, mention the name of Ḥawwā (رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا) in place. Perform Talqīn in Arabic only.
