It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicating in the funeral prayer for a deceased person as follows: "You created her, and You provided her sustenance, and You guided her to Islam, and You took her soul, You know her secrets and her open deeds, we have come as intercessors for her, so forgive her." (You created her, You provided her sustenance, You guided her to Islam, You took her soul, and You alone know her inner and outer states, we have come as her intercessors, so forgive her.)
