Sayyidina Ibn Abbad (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) got down a grave in the night (to bury some one), so light was provided him by a lantern. He held him from the side of qiblah and said, ‘May Allah be merciful to you. You were soft-hearted and a great reciter of the Qur’an.” He then called the takbir four times (leading the funeral salah).
