<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) The Sunnah in burial is to ask Allah Almighty to forgive the dead person and make him firm during the questioning by the two angels.<br> 2) The trial of the grave is quite grave, and that is the questioning by the two angels. So, a dead person needs supplication by his fellow Muslims for him to stay firm.<br> Note:<br> His words “for he is being questioned now” give a certain piece of information by the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) at the time, as he knew, through revelation from his Lord, that the man was being questioned after the Prophet had finished the burial. In our time, however, the preacher should not say this phrase “for he is being questioned now”, as he does not know whether he is actually being questioned now or not. He should only say: “Ask forgiveness for your brother and implore Allah to make him firm.”
