وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ شَيَّعَ جَنَازَةَ مُؤْمِنٍ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَكَّلَ اَللَّهُ بِهِ سَبْعِينَ مَلَكاً مِنَ اَلْمُشَيِّعِينَ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ إِلَى اَلْمَوْقِفِ.
Imam Sadiq (as) is reported to have said: “‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, for one’s escorting the dead body of a believing person until it is buried, assigns seventy thousand angels of the escorting ones to escort him (escorting person) and ask forgiveness for him from the time he is taken out of his grave to the station (for Judgment).”’ (Al Kafi, Vol. 3)
Imam Baqir (as) is reported to have said: “When a believing person is placed in the grave, it is announced then: “Paradise is the first gift for you and forgiveness for those who have escorted you.” (Al Kafi, Vol. 3)
