٭ After the burial, it is Mustahab to recite the first Ruku of Surah-al-Baqarah from ‘الۤمۤ’ to ‘مُفۡلِحُوۡن’ at the head side of the deceased and last Ruku at the feet side, from ‘اٰمَنَ الرَّسُوۡلُ’ to the end of Surah.

(Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 846)

٭ It is permissible to place Shajarah or Ahd-Naamah in the grave. It is better to make a niche in the wall towards the Qiblah in front of the face of the deceased and place Shajarah or Ahd-Naamah in it. In fact, in Durr-e-Mukhtar, it is stated to be permissible to write Ahd-Naamah on the shroud and it is stated that one can hope for forgiveness by doing so.

٭ It is permissible to write ‘بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم’ on the chest and forehead of the deceased. It can be done like this as well: Write ‘بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ’ on the forehead and Kalimah Tayyibah, ‘لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوۡلُ اللّٰه’, on the chest. This all should be written only with index finger, not with ink.
