Hameed bin Abi Hameed حميد بن أبي حميد الطويل · Chapters Regarding Funerals

“Zaid bin Arqan used to say the Takbir four times in the funeral prayer, and he said the Takbir five times for one funeral. I asked him (about that) and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do that.’”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought into his grave from the direction of the Qiblah, and he was placed in his grave gently.

“Dig the grave deep, make it spacious and prepare it well.”
