al-Minhal bin 'Amr al-Asadi المنهال بن عمرو الأسدي مولاهم الكوفي · Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Feed the hungry, visit the sick and free the captive. Sufyan said: al-'ani means captive.

Al-Harith left his will that Abdullah ibn Yazid should offer his funeral prayer; so he prayed over him. He then put him in the grave from the side of his legs and said: This is a Sunnah (model practice of the Prophet).
