بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
With the Name of Allah, and in the cause of Allah, and upon the way (religion) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). عن عبد الله بن يزيد قال: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ قَدْ مَاتَ فَيُقَالُ ضَعُوهُ، فَإِذَا وُضِعَ فِي لَحْدِهِ قَالَ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ. Abdullah ibn Yazid narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to be brought a deceased man from his family, and it would be said: "Place him (in the grave)." When he was placed in his lahd (grave), he (ﷺ) would say: "With the Name of Allah, and in the cause of Allah, and upon the way (religion) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." [Sunan Ibn Majah]
