A Hadith is presented on how to offer the Salat of a deceased.

علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن حماد، عن لحلبي، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: تكبر ثم، تشهد، ثم تقول: إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون، الحمد لله رب العالمين رب الموت والحياة صل على محمد وأهل بيته، جزا الله عنا محمدا خير الجزاء بما صنع بامته وبما بلغ من رسالات ربه ثم تقول: ” اللهم عبدك ابن عبدك ابن أمتك ناصيته بيدك، خلا من الدنيا واحتاج إلى رحمتك وأنت غني عن عذابه، اللهم إنا لا نعلم منه إلا خيرا وأنت أعلم به، اللهم إن كان محسنا فزد في إحسانه وتقبل منه وإن كان مسيئا فاغفر له ذنبه وارحمه وتجاوز عنه برحمتك، اللهم ألحقه بنبيك وثبته بالقول (1) الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة، اللهم اسلك بنا وبه سبيل الهدى واهدنا وإياه صراطك المستقيم، اللهم عفوك عفوك ” ثم تكبر الثانية وتقول مثل ما قلت حتى تفرغ من خمس تكبيرات.

Al-Halabi narrates from his father who heard from Ine Abi Umaar, who from Hamad who says he heard from Abi Abdullah ^-asws that Imam ^-asws said :

Say Takbeer then, recite Tashahud, then says : To Allah ^-azwj we belong, and to Him ^-azwj is our return. (We are) Thankful to the Lorda zwjl of the Worlds- Who is the Lord of death and life, send blessings upon Mohamed ^-saww and Prophet’s Family ^-asws. Allah ^-azwj reward Mohammed ^-saww and his Alhul Bait ^-asws with the best attributes for preaching Your ^-azwj people and showing them the good and then says : Ya Allah ^-azwj , He is Your ^-azwj slave, son of Your ^-azwj salve and son of Your ^-azwj maid. He is free of the world and is dependent on your mercy and You awjl have no intention to torture him, Ya Allah ^-azwj we only know his good deeds but You awjl are more knowledgeable of his affairs, Ya Allah ^-azwj if he was a good person then enhance his virtues prior to accepting them but if had offended You ^-azwj through his actions then please forgive him and extend Your mercy to him and pardon him. Ya Allah^-azwj blessing him with the nearness to Your Prophet ^-asws and we pray for Your mercy in this life as well as in the hereafter, Ya Allah ^-azwj we seek Your guidance, through Your preferred way, and keep us on the ‘Sirat-e-Moustaqeem’ The righteous Path, Ya Allah ^-azwj please forgive us, please forgive us. Then say the Takbeer for second time and repeat the above prayer until finishing five Takbeers.
