3121 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَكِّيٍّ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، وَلَيْسَ بِالنَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اقْرَءُوا يس عَلَى مَوْتَاكُمْ» وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ الْعَلَاءِ

Commentary

The people around the deceased should close his eyes after his soul departs, and supplicate to Allāh on behalf of the deceased and his family, and completely cover his body. The narrations concerning the recitation of Surah Yā Sīn are not authentic. We should instead supplicate to Allāh to grant the deceased ease.
