Question:
Is there a specific dhikr (remembrance of Allah) for those who carry the funeral?
Answer:
The Sunnah (recommended practice) is to remain silent when carrying the funeral; the Sunnah is silence, except in your own heart. As for the one who says, "Remember Allah, declare the oneness of Allah," this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) with no basis. When the funeral arrives, they should walk while reflecting on the fate of the funeral, and what will be said to it? And what will it answer? The matter is great. Funerals and following them are for admonition.
So the Sunnah for the one who attends it, or follows it, is to think and reflect, for what happened to it will happen to him. He will die just as it died. So reflect on the fate, and what will be said to this funeral? And what will it say? The terror is great! As for the one who says, "Remember Allah, testify to it with such and such," this has no basis.
