There are many different narrations in Sunni books about the dates of birth and death of the Prophet (SAWA). We have taken the most authentic narrations from Ahlul Bayt (AS) who know about the Prophet more than any other narrator, stating that his birth was on 17th of Rabi’ual ‘Awwal, and his martyrdom was on 28th of Safar.
Allah is The Everlasting Alive الحيّ ALHAYY and He never dies as He Created the life and death on all His creatures and He is above whatever He Created.
We have no ability to know or even think about Him, but we should think about what He Created. The Hadeeth says: Don't think in Allah's Self but think in Allah's creatures.
What we can see from our esteemed scholars is they refer to this prayer as "salat laylatul-dafn", the prayer of the night after burial, or "salat hadiyatul mayyit" prayer of a gift to the deceased, or "salat laylatul wahshah", prayer of the night of loneliness.
One narration for this prayer is:
قال رسول الله (ص) لا يأتي على الميت أشد من أول ليلة فارحموا موتاكم بالصدقة فإن لم تجدوا فليصل أحدكم ركعتين: يقرأ في الأولى الحمد وآية الكرسي وفي الثانية الحمد والقدر عشرا فإذا سلم قال: “اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد، وابعث ثوابهما إلى قبر فلان”. فإنه تعالى يبعث من ساعته ألف ملك إلى قبره مع كل ملك ثوب وحلة …
This is in al-Misbah, by al-Kaf'ami, p. 164.
Our Maraji' taqleed also consider this prayer to be mustahab as well.
Despite different opinions among big scholars in this matter based in the opinion on whether human body belongs to The Creator Allah or to the human beings himself, most of them say that it is allowed to donate organs after death for the sake of saving life of a human being.
