“The janazah, or funeral-prayers, are repeated by the priest, the people around saying Amin or “Amen.””

“This prayer is called Janazah prayer, It is offered in a standing position. […] The Janazah prayer is a collective obligation (Fard-Kifayah) on all the Muslims of the locality of the dead person.”

“[…] the whole are deposited in a very neat coffin — Janazah — garlanded with beautiful flowers, and covered over with a white (malmal) figured muslin.”

“Here we differ: The Janázah with a lid is not a Badawi article: the wildlings use the simplest stretcher; and I would translate the lines: The son of woman, whatso his career / One day is borne upon the gibbous bier.”
