أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ السُّنَّةُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَی الْجَنَازَةِ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ فِي التَّکْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَی بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ مُخَافَتَةً ثُمَّ يُکَبِّرَ ثَلَاثًا وَالتَّسْلِيمُ عِنْدَ الْآخِرَةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1995
It was narrated that Abu Umamah said: “The Sunnah, when offering the funeral prayer, is to recite Umm Al-Qur’an (the Essence of the Qur’an) quietly in the first Takbir, then to say three (more) Takbirs and to say the Taslim after the last one.” (Sahih)
