Hazrat Abu Saeed Maqbari asked Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him: How do you perform the funeral prayer? Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: By Allah, the Everlasting, I will inform you. I am with the funeral from its house, then when it is placed, I say the takbeer and praise Allah, and send blessings upon the Prophet. Then I say: O Allah! Your servant and the son of Your servant and the son of Your maidservant bore witness that there is no true deity except You, and indeed Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is Your servant and Your Messenger, and You know his condition well. O Lord! If he was righteous, then increase his reward, and if he was sinful, then forgive his sins. O Lord! Do not deprive us of his reward, and do not put us to trial after him.
