[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "When one of you dies, do not hold him back, and rush him to his grave. Recite Surah al-Fatiha at his head, and Surah al-Baqarah at his feet in his grave."

الطبراني:١٣٦١٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَابْلُتِّيُّ ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ نَهِيكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا مَاتَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا تَحْبِسُوهُ وَأَسْرِعُوا بِهِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ وَلْيُقْرَأْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَعِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ بِخَاتِمَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي قَبْرِهِ»
