The dead will intercede

The Beloved Messenger of Allâh şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam has stated that if someone passes by a cemetery and recites Sūrah al-Fâteha, Sūrah Ikhlâs and Sūrah Takathur and then does Du’ā,

Oh Allâh Almighty! Send the reward of whatever I have recited to the believing men and women

Then those buried in that cemetery will intercede for him on the day of judgement.[1]
