Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Ibn Ghailan narrate that Hazrat Abu Darda used to recite this supplication in the funeral prayer: O Allah, forgive our living and our deceased among the Muslims. O Allah, forgive the Muslim men and women, and the believing men and women, and reconcile their mutual affairs, and unite their hearts, and make their hearts upon the hearts of their best ones. O Allah, forgive so-and-so son of so-and-so his sins, and join him with his Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). O Allah, raise his rank among the guided, and appoint his successor among those left behind, and place his record in Illiyyin, and forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not misguide us after him.

Hazrat Abu Sadiq Al-Naji narrates that I asked Hazrat Abu Saeed about the funeral prayer. He replied: We pray like this: O Allah! You are our Lord and his Lord. You created him, provided for him, gave him life, and sufficed him. So forgive us and him, and do not deprive us of his reward, and do not misguide us after him.

Hazrat Nafi’ reports that Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) when performing the funeral prayer, used to recite this supplication:“O Allah, bless him, send Your mercy upon him, forgive him, and admit him to the reservoir of Your Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).”The narrator says that he (Ibn Umar) stood for a long time and recited many supplications, but I could not understand anything except this.

Yunus reports that I asked Hazrat Mujahid, "Which supplication should be recited in the funeral prayer?" He replied, "We recite this: O Allah, You created him, and You guided him to Islam, and You took his soul, and You know best his secret and his open deeds. We have come to intercede for him, so forgive him."

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abu Auf narrates that Hazrat Sharjeel bin Simt's funeral was attended by Hazrat Ibn Lahi Al-Hawzani, and Hazrat Habib bin Muslimah Al-Fihri was brought forward to lead the prayer. He turned towards us in such a way as a tall person turns with his height, then said: Pray well for your brother, but the supplication you make for him should be like this: "O Allah, forgive this upright, Muslim soul, and make him among those who repented and followed Your path, and protect him from the punishment of Hellfire, and seek Allah's help against your enemy."
