Expressions to Pronounce on Seeing a Dead Person

1. I do not know about him more of his name - from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), on seeing a dead body brought near, would say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who has not brought my life to an end.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), when seeing a dead person would say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who has not placed me among the masses whose lives have already ended.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘If one finds a dead body brought from the opposite direction or just sees one and says, “Allah is great. This is what Allah and His Messenger have told us will happen to us and Allah and His Messenger have indeed spoken the truth. O Lord, increase our belief and submission. All praise belongs to Allah who is Most Majestic due to His power and who has subdued people by death,” no angel is left in the heavens but will weep out of sympathy for the tone of his voice.””’
