286. Throwing soil after burial
It is narrated in Sahih Hadith that after burying the dead, it is Sunnah for those present to throw soil three times with both hands. Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) offered a janaza prayer. Then he went to the grave of the dead man and threw soil on him three times from the side of his head."
