Upon the fourth takbir, he did not offer any supplication for the deceased and then concluded.

[AL SADUQ] My father wrote in his message to me: "Know, my son, that the person with the most right to lead the funeral prayer for the deceased is whoever is designated by the deceased's guardian (Wali). If there is a man from the Banu Hashim among the people, he has priority for leading the prayer if designated by the guardian of the deceased. If someone leads without being appointed by the deceased’s guardian, then they are usurping that right."

They themselves were also without sufficient clothing, having only a single garment. How should they perform the funeral prayer for him since he was naked and they did not have an extra cloth to shroud him?" Imam (as) replied: "A grave should be dug, and he should be placed in his burial niche, with bricks placed over his private parts to cover them. Then, the funeral prayer should be offered over him, and he should be buried."

Hadith.500 - Salim ibn Mukram narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "A pillow of earth should be placed for the deceased, and a clump of soil behind their back to prevent them from lying flat. The knots of their shroud should be untied, their face uncovered, and supplications should be made: Allāhumma ‘abduka wa ibnu ‘abdika wa ibnu amatika nazala bika wa anta khayru manzūlin bih. Allāhumma ifsaḥ lahu fī qabrihi wa laqqinh ḥujjatahu wa alḥiqhu binabiyyihi wa qihi sharra Munkarin wa Nakīr 'O’ Allah (swt), this is Your servant, the child of Your servant and maidservant. They have returned to You, and You are the best to receive. O’ Allah (swt), expand their grave for them, teach them their proof, and join them with their Prophet. Protect them from the trial of Munkar and Nakir.'" Then, place your right hand under their right shoulder and your left hand on their left shoulder, and shake them firmly while saying: Yā Fulān ibn Fulān, Allāhu rabbuka, wa Muḥammadun nabiyyuka, wa al-Islāmu dīnuka, wa ‘Aliyyun walīyuka wa imāmuka "O’ [name of the deceased], child of [father’s name], Allah (swt) is your Lord (azj), Muhammad is your Prophet, Islam is your religion, Ali is your guardian and Imam" - Name each of the Imams, ending with: 'Your Imams are the guides and the righteous.' Then repeat the talqeen (prompting of faith) once more. And when you put earth over him or when placing bricks over the grave, say: Allāhumma irḥam ghurbatahu wa ṣil waḥdatahu wa ānis waḥshatahu wa āmin raw‘atahu wa askin ilayhi min raḥmatika raḥmatan yastaghnī bihā ‘an raḥmati man siwāk, wa uḥshuruhu ma‘a man kāna yatawallāh "O’ Allah (swt), have mercy on their loneliness, connect their solitude, comfort their fear, and fill them with Your mercy so that they need no mercy from anyone other than You. Unite them with those they loved." When visiting their grave, recite this supplication facing the Qibla, with hands on the grave. Upon exiting the grave, while brushing the dirt off your hands, say: Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rāji‘ūn "Indeed, we belong to Allah (swt), and indeed, to Him we shall return." Throw dirt onto the grave with the backs of your hands three times, saying: Allāhumma īmānan bika wa taṣdīqan bikitābika, hādhā mā wa‘adanā Allāhu wa rasūluhu wa ṣadaqa Allāhu wa rasūluhu "O’ Allah (swt), we believe in You and affirm Your Book. This is what You and Your Messenger have promised, and Allah (swt) and His Messenger have spoken the truth." Whoever performs this and says these words will earn a reward for every particle of soil. Once the grave is made/leveled, pour water over it, beginning at the head and circling around all four sides, returning to the head without breaking the flow of water. If any water remains, pour it in the middle of the grave. Place your hand on the grave, supplicate for the deceased, and seek forgiveness for them.

Hadith.501 - Yahya ibn Abdullah narrates from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "There is no harm for the family of the deceased among you to help the deceased prepare for the encounter with Munkar and Nakir (the questioning angels).” I asked: “How should we do that?” Imam (as) said: “When the deceased is placed in the grave, the closest person to them should remain by their side, place their mouth near the head of the deceased, and call out in a loud voice: "O’ [name of the deceased], child of [father’s name], are you still on the covenant upon which we left you—the testimony that there is no god but Allah (swt), alone without partner, and that Muhammad (sw) is His servant and Messenger, the Master of the Prophets; that Ali is The Commander of the Faithful, the Master of the Successors; that what Muhammad (sw) brought is the truth; that death is real, resurrection is real, and that the Hour is coming without a doubt, and that Allah (swt) will raise those who are in the graves?" If this is said: Munkar will turn to Nakir and say: “Let us leave, for he has been properly instructed (given Talqeen)."
