[Machine] He was informed by a man from the companions of the Prophet that the sunnah (practice) in the funeral prayer is for the Imam to start by saying takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) loudly, then quietly recite Surat Al-Fatiha after the first takbeer, silently within himself. Then he should send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , and make a sincere supplication for the deceased during the remaining takbeers. He should not recite anything else during them. Finally, he should silently say tasleem (saying Assalamu Alaykum) within himself. 6960 He said, and Mutarrif ibn Mazen narrated from Ma'mar, who narrated from Al-Zuhri, who said: Muhammad Al-Fihri narrated to me from Dahhak ibn Qays that he said the same as Abu Umamah and so on.  

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ السُّنَّةَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ الْإِمَامُ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ بَعْدَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى سِرًّا فِي نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيُخْلِصُ الدُّعَاءَ لِلْجِنَازَةِ فِي التَّكْبِيرَاتِ لَا يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ سِرًّا فِي نَفْسِهِ 6960 قَالَ وَأنبأ مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ مَازِنٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ الْفِهْرِيُّ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَهَكَذَا
