20 Beautiful Sunan of the Prophet

9. The deceased should be placed on his right side in such a manner
that his entire chest is facing the Ka`bah and his back should be
against the wall of the grave. Sometimes, only the face is turned to
the Qiblah and the deceased is made to lie on his back, resulting in
the chest facing the sky. This is contradictory to the Sunnah
method.
Mu]annaf `Abd ar-Razz\q; a{-^abar\n|
10. To feed the family of the deceased is a Sunnah, but to make a big
show of it is not. Also, whatever is available should be given
avoiding extravagance.
at-Tirmidh|, Ibn M\jah
11. After burial, Ras[lull\h r would instruct his companions to seek
forgiveness for the deceased and to pray that All\h I keeps him or
her steadfast at the time of questioning by al-Munkar and an-Nak|r.
Ab[ D\w[d, al-*\kim
To make a congregational Du`\' after the Jan\zah %al\h, as some have
made it customary, is not from the Sunnah but a bid`ah and so should
not be done.
Mirq\t, al-Ba#r ar-R\’iq
