Explanation of the supplications when a person is on the verge of death and when he is placed in the grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q555: The questioner asks: Is there a specific supplication when a person is on the verge of death, or when he is placed in the grave?
A555: As for when he is on the verge of death, what is transmitted is that he is taught to say: There is no god but Allah, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It is recommended that the dying person be taught to say: There is no god but Allah, and that he be taught this gently, without repeating it to him or pressuring him, but rather teaching it to him gently, just the phrase There is no god but Allah, taught to him gently. As for when he is buried, it is transmitted that when the deceased is placed in the grave, one should say: In the name of Allah and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah, as narrated by Imam Ahmad and others. As for saying a supplication when he is on the verge of death, this has not been transmitted, except teaching the dying person to say There is no god but Allah. And when he is placed in the grave, nothing is said other than the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 1550Sahih (Darussalam) There are no other supplications, nor recitation of al-Fatihah. Whatever is not established in the Sunnah is a religious innovation.
A555: As for when he is on the verge of death, what is transmitted is that he is taught to say: There is no god but Allah, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Teach your dying ones to say: There is no god but Allah, for whoever his last words are There is no god but Allah, he will enter Paradise
لقنوا موتاكم لا إله إلا الله، فإنه من كان آخر كلامه لا إله إلا الله دخل الجنةBismillah, wa ‘ala millati rasul-illah (In the Name of Allah and according to the religion of the Messenger of Allah).
