jalla thenâuka” are added in the recitation. The Sûrat-al Fâtiha<br />

is not recited. After the second tekbîr the Salawât is recited<br />

exactly as it is recited during the tashahhud (sitting posture in<br />

the daily prayers of salât). After the third tekbîr the du’â of<br />

janâza is recited. Presently after the fourth tekbîr the salâm is<br />

performed (by turning the head) first to the right and then to the<br />

left. [So far we have not been able to find any information in<br />

books concerning when the hands should be let to hang down.<br />

It is written in the marginal notes of the books Durer and<br />

Halabî-i-saghîr: “Hands are tied while doing the (prescribed)<br />

recitals during the standing posture. If there is no recital the<br />

hands are let to hang down. First the hands are let to hang<br />

down, and then the salâm is made to both sides.” We saw our<br />

superiors hang down their right hands as they made the salâm<br />

to the right and their left hands while making the salâm to the<br />

left. (According to the quotation borrowed from the abovenamed<br />

books), it is equally inferrable that both hands are let down<br />

before the salâm is made.] While performing the salâm, an<br />

intention for the dead person and the jamâ’at must be made.<br />

The imâm says only the four tekbîrs and the salâm to both<br />

shoulders aloud; he does the other recitations silently. [The du’â<br />

of janâza is a certain prayer, instead of which “Rabbanâ âtina fîd-dunyâ...”<br />

is recited or one may only say, “Allâhummaghfir leh,”<br />

or the Sûrat-al Fâtiha without the Basmala may be recited with<br />

the intention of saying a prayer. Saying prayers brings<br />

forgiveness to the dead person. And it brings promotion to<br />

Prophets (’alaihimussalâm) and children. If forty or a hundred<br />

people make a jamâ’at in three lines, this brings forgiveness to<br />

the dead person. The salât is performed before interment]. With<br />

the salât of janâza, there is more thawâb in (standing in) the<br />

hindmost line.<br />

If the imâm says a fifth tekbîr instead of performing the<br />

salâm with the fourth tekbîr, the jamâ’at must not say it too.<br />

Waiting silently, they must perform the salâm together with the<br />

imâm.<br />

The imâm stands exactly opposite the corpse’s chest. A<br />

person who is late for the beginning of the salât does not begin<br />

as soon as he comes. He waits and then begins by saying the<br />

tekbîr as the imâm says one of the tekbîrs; he intends this tekbîr<br />

to be his Tekbîr iftitâh (beginning); and after the imâm recites<br />

the salâm, he says the tekbîrs he has missed one right after the<br />
