Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "But they differed regarding recitation at the graves: is it disliked, or is it not disliked? The issue is well-known, and there are three narrations from Ahmad: the first is that there is no harm in it. This is the choice of al-Khallal and his companion, and most of the later followers of Ahmad. They said: it is the later narration from Ahmad, and the opinion of a group of the followers of Abu Hanifah.
They relied on what was transmitted from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), ".
The Shaykh : Do you have Ibn 'Amr or Ibn 'Umar?
The student: Ibn 'Umar.
The Shaykh : This needs clarification.
The reader: In my printed copy, it says: Ibn 'Amr. The correct one is Ibn 'Umar, as agreed upon by the handwritten manuscripts. See Majmu' al-Fatawa, page [number] and [letter] [number]. Al-Bayhaqi indicated with his chain from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-'Ala ibn al-Lajlaj, from his father, that Ibn 'Umar recommended that. See al-Sunan al-Kubra, page [letter] [number] and [letter] [number], the chapter on what was transmitted regarding reciting the Qur'an at the grave.
And al-Nawawi said in al-Adhkar: "We have narrated in al-Sunan of al-Bayhaqi with a good chain that Ibn 'Umar recommended that the beginning of Surat al-Baqarah and its end be recited over the grave after burial". See: al-Futuhat al-Rabbaniyyah, part [number] and [letter] [number].
The Shaykh : The beginning of Surat al-Baqarah and its end, with the accusative case.
So, the one we have is correct: Ibn 'Umar.
The reader: "They relied on what was transmitted from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) "
He said: In [letter] and [letter] and [letter]: with the openings.
"It was also transmitted from some of the Muhajireen that they recited Surat al-Baqarah.
The second is that it is disliked. So much so that these people differed: is Surat al-Fatihah recited in the funeral prayer if the prayer is performed in the cemetery? There are two narrations from Ahmad on this, and this narration is the one narrated by most of his followers from him, and it is the position of his early followers who accompanied him, such as 'Abd al-Wahhab al-Warraq, Abu Bakr al-Marwazi, and the like. It is the school of the majority of the Salaf, such as Abu Hanifah, Malik, Hushaym ibn Bashir, and others".
The Shaykh : Bashir.
The reader: Did you hear?
The Shaykh : Hushaym ibn Bashir.
The reader: "And Hushaym ibn Bashir and others. It is not known that al-Shafi'i himself spoke on this issue, because it was an innovation in his view. Malik said: "I do not know of anyone who does that," so it is known that the Companions and the Tabi'un did not do it.
The third is that recitation at the grave at the time of burial is not harmful, as transmitted from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) and some of the Muhajireen. As for recitation after that—such as those who visit the grave to recite at it—this is disliked, because nothing like that was transmitted from any of the Salaf at all.
This narration is perhaps stronger than the others because of its reconciliation of the evidence".
They relied on what was transmitted from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father),
That he bequeathed that the openings of al-Baqarah be recited over his grave at the time of burial
