Abu Hurairah narrated: "The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed and in the funeral prayer he for An-Najashi, said four Takbir."

Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila said: "Zaid bin Arqam would say four Takbir for our funerals. (Once) he said five Takbir for a funeral so we asked him about that and he said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say those Takbir.'"

Abu Ibrahim Al-Ashhali narrated : from his father who said: "When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would perform the Salat for the funeral he would said: (Allahammaghfir li-hayyina wa mayyittina, wa shahidina wa gha'ibina, wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana) 'O Allah! Forgive our living and our deceased, our present and our absent, our young and our old, our male and our female.'"

Awf bin Malik said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, while he was performing Salat for a deceased person. I could hear him saying in his prayer: (Allahummagfir lahu, war hamhu, waghsilhu bil-baradi (waghsilhu) kama yughsaluth-thawb) 'O Allah! Forgive him, have mercy upon him, and wash him with (snow or ice) (and wash him) just as a garment is washed.'"

Ibn Abbas narrated: "The Prophet (ﷺ) recited Fatihatil-Kitab for a funeral (prayer)." (Da'if Jiddan)

Talhah bin Abdullah bin Awf narrated: "Ibn Abbas performed Salat for a funeral and he recited Fatihatil-Kitab. So I asked him about it and he said: 'It is from the Sunnah' or, 'From the completeness of the Sunnah.'"

Marthan bin Abdullah Al-Yazani narrated: "When Malik bin Hubairah performed Salat for a funeral and the people were few he would divide them into three groups (rows) then say: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "For whomever three rows perform Salat, then it is granted."

Aishah narrated that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "No one among the Muslim dies, and Salat is performed for him by a community of Muslims reaching one hundred, and they intercede (supplicate) for him, except that their intercession for him is accepted." In his narration, 'Ali bin Hujr said: "One hundred or more than that."

Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah narrated that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The rider is to be behind the funeral (procession), and the walker where he wishes, and the child should be prayed over."

Abu Ghalib narrated: "I prayed for the funeral of a man with Anas bin Malik, so he stood parallel to his head. Then they came with the body of a woman from the Quraish. They said: 'O Abu Hamzah perform the prayer for her.' So he stood parallel to her waist. Al-Ala bin Ziyad said to him: 'Is this how you saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) standing in the place for the funeral as you did for her, and for a place that you stood for the man?' He said: 'Yes.' When he was finished he said: 'Remember (this).'"

Abdur-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik narrated that: Jabir bin Abdullah informed him that the Prophet (ﷺ) had put two men together in one cloth from those who were killed at (the battle of) Uhud, then he said: "Which of them memorized the more of the Qur'an?" When one of them was indicated to him, he put him in the Lahd (first) and said: "I am a witness for those people on the Day of Judgment." And he ordered that they be buried in their blood, and that they not be prayed over, nor washed.

Ash-Shaibani narrated that: Ash-Sha'bi said: "I was informed by one who saw the Prophet: He (pbuh) saw a solitary grave, s he lined his Companions (behind him) to pray over it." It was said to him (Ash-Sha'bi): "Who informed you?" He said: "Ibn Abbas."

Sa'eedbin Musayyab narrated: "Umm Sa'd died while the Prophet (ﷺ) was absent. So when he arrived he performed Salat over her, and a month had already passed."

Imran bin Husain narrated that : the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Indeed your brother An-Najashi has died. So stand to perform Salat for him." He (Imran) said: "We stood and lined up just as the deceased is lined up for, and we prayed for him just as the deceased is prayed for."

Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever performs the funeral prayer then he will get a reward equal to a Qirat. Whoever follows it until it is buried then he will get a reward equal to two Qirat, one of them, or the least of them, is similar to Uhud (mountain)." This was mentioned to Ibn Umar, so he sent a message to Aishah to ask her about that, and she said: "Abu Hurairah has told the truth." So Ibn Umar said: "We have missed many Qirat."

Abu Muhazzim said: "I accompanied Abu Hurairah for ten years, and I heard him saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "Whoever follows a funeral, and carries it three times, then he has fulfilled the right that is required from him."

Amir bin Rabi'ah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up until it goes ahead of you or it is put down."

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up (for it). Whoever follows it, then do not sit down until it is put down."

Mas'ud bin Al-Hakim narrated that standing for the funeral (procession) until it is put down was mentioned, and 'Ali bin Abi Talib mentioned and 'Ali bin Abi Talib said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood, then (later) he sat". (Sahih) There are narrations on this topic from Al-Hasan bin 'Ali, and Ibn 'Abbas. Abu Eisa said: The Hadith of 'Ali is a Hasan Sahih Hadith, regarding which there are narrations from four of the Tabi'in narrating it from each other. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Ash-Shafi'i said: "This is the most correct thing on this topic" This Hadith abrogates first Hadith: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up ." Ahmad said: "If he wants, he stands, and if he wants, he does not stand." His proof is that it has been reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) stood, then sat, and this is what Ishaq bin Ibrahim said. (Abu Eisa said:) As for the saying of 'Ali: The Prophet (ﷺ) stood for the funeral and then sat, he means that the Prophet (ﷺ) would stand when he saw a funeral (procession), then he did not do so later, so he would not stand when he saw the funeral (procession).

Ibn Abbas narrated that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The Lahd is for us and the hole is for other than us."
