Instructing the deceased after burial is permissible according to many scholars. There is no established text regarding what should be recited to him. It is narrated that it is said to him: "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so… Remember what you departed from this world upon: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and that you were content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, with Muhammad as Prophet, and with the Quran as guide." Many scholars have deemed this hadith weak, and it is said that it has corroborating evidence that strengthens it.
