It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyidah Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), was lowered into the grave, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "From it (the earth) We created you, into it We will return you, and from it We will bring you out once again" [Surah Ta Ha: 55] , and said: 'Bismillahi wa fi sabilillahi wa 'ala millati Rasulillah' (In the name of Allah, in the path of Allah, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah). Then, when her lahd (niche grave) had been prepared, he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to throw earth to the people present there, saying: "Close the gaps between the bricks." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, this (earth and brick) is of no real benefit (that is, it does not benefit the deceased), but it comforts the hearts of the living."
