Hazrat Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicating over a deceased person in this way: O Allah! Forgive him, and have mercy on him, and grant him well-being, and pardon him. And honor Your guest, and expand his place of entry, and wash him with water, snow, and cold water. And cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah! Grant him a home better than his home, and a wife better than his wife, and a family better than his family. And admit him into Paradise, and save him from Hell, or he said: and protect him from the punishment of Hell. To the extent that I began to wish that I were that deceased.

Then he went away, and after a short while he returned. So we said: "Now he will sit with him." Then he said: "Did you hear the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, recite any supplication over the funeral prayer?" He replied: "I heard him supplicate thus: 'You alone guided him to Islam, and You alone took his soul. You know his hidden and open matters. We have come to You as intercessors for him, so forgive him.'"

Forgive our every living one and our every deceased one, and our every male and our every female, and our every present one and our every absent one, and our every young one and our every old one. O Allah! Whomever You keep alive from among us, keep him alive upon faith; and whomever You cause to die from among us, cause him to die upon faith.

Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib narrates that when evening came, Hazrat Umar would supplicate in the funeral prayer as follows: O Allah! Your servant has reached the evening.

Indeed, he has left the world, and he has left the world for the people of the world, and You are independent of him and he is in need of You. He used to bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except You, and indeed Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Your servant and Your Messenger. So forgive his sins.

Return him to the goodness in which he was before. O Allah! We seek Your forgiveness.
