Mishkat al-Masabih #1634
Funerals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَبْر فَحَثَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَه
Abu Huraira said that God’s messenger prayed over a bier, then went to the grave and threw three handfuls of earth towards the head of the dead man.
Ibn Majah transmitted it.
