Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

After the burial

After the burial, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to pray himself for the departed soul’s forgiveness and asked others also to pray for their brother’s forgiveness and steadfastness so that ALLAH, the Almighty may keep him steadfast during the interrogation of Munkir and Nakeer. [Abu Dawud]

It appears in a tradition that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) sprinkled water on his son, Ibrahim’s grave and that he put small pebbles on it. [Zadul Ma’ad]

According to a tradition, sitting and treading on graves is forbidden.
