Hazrat Jubair bin Adi narrates that I have been informed that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite this supplication when a deceased person was placed in the grave: In the name of Allah! And upon the way of Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and with affirmation of Your Book and Your Messenger, and with certainty in resurrection after death. O Allah! Widen his grave for him and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.

Hazrat Husain narrates that Ibrahim al-Taimi said: When the deceased is lowered into the grave, recite these words! In the name of Allah, and towards Allah, and upon the way of Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
