Prayer beads.
I haven't yet see a person pray for the dead without having his prayer beads.
Alham du Lilla (Praise be to Allah) and La ilaha Illawlah (There is no God but Allah) are said when counting the beads on the tasbi. The tasbi is used when praying for the dead and by the imam at the end of Friday noon day worship at the mosque. Also sometimes used for the five daily times of prayer.
