NAMAZ-E-WAHSHAT/HADIYA-E-MAYYAT:

After the deceased has been buried, it is recommended to recite salatu't- wahshat. This namaz can be said at any time of that night although it is better to say it after the 'isha prayer .

Namaz-e wahshat is to be recited once by the wali of the deceased or by someone who has been asked by the wali to do that namaz. The method of offering these Prayers is as follows:

(1) In the first rakat, Sura AI-Hamd followed by Ayatul Kursi (once).

(2) In the second rakat after Sura AI-Hamd recite 10 times Sura AI-Qadr .

(3) After saying Salaam, recite -AlIa Humma Saali, Ala Muhammadin Wa Ale Muhammad Wab'ath Thawabaha Ila Qabri ,.. read the name of the deceased

Namaz-e Hadya-e Mayyit means the salat that is done for sending its reward as gift to a deceased person.

This salat can be done at any time, as many times, and for as many deceased people as possible,

Namaz-e Hadya-e Mayyit can be said like the subh prayer: only the niyyat (intention) will change. However, it is better to do this namaz in the method taught by Imam Ja'far as-sadiq (a.s.) as follows:

1st Rak'at: al-Hamd and then surah al-Qadr once.

2nd Rak'at: al-Hamd and then al-Kawthat once.'
