Chapter 150: About Waiting for a Short While after Burying the Deceased to Invoke Allah for him

Chapter Introduction

١٥٠ - باب الدعاء للميت بعد دفنه

Translation: [ The Prophet used to wait for a short while after burying a dead, and he used to ask his companions to ask forgiveness from Allah for the deceased. Amr ibn Al-As asked his companions to wait after burying him for a period equal to [ that needed for the] slaughtering a camel and distributing its meat so that he would know how to reply to the two Angels who would question him in the grave.]
