Chapter: Supplicating for the deceased during the (funeral) prayer

I heard it from 'Auf b. Malik that the Prophet (ﷺ) said prayer on the dead body , and I remembered his prayer : " O Allah ! forgive him , have mercy upon him , give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious ; wash him with water , snow and hail. Cleanse him from faults as Thou wouldst cleanse a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode , with a family better than his family , and with a mate better than his mate. Admit him to the Garden , and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire." ('Auf bin Malik) said : I earnestly desired that I were this dead body.

('Auf bin Malik) said : I earnestly desired that I were this dead body.

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say (while offering prayer on a dead body) : O Allah ! forgive him , have mercy upon him. Give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water , snow and hail , cleanse him from faults as is cleaned a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode , with a family better than his family , and with a mate better than his mate , and save him from the trial of the grave and torment of Hell. 'Auf b. Malik said : I earnestly desired that I were the dead person to receive the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as this dead body had (received).
