حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَتَمُّ ،حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ جُنَاحٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ ، فَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : فِي ذِمَّتِكَ ، وَحَبْلِ جِوَارِكَ ، فَقِهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ ، وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ ، وَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ الْوَفَاءِ ، وَالْحَمْدِ اللَّهُمَّ ، فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ " . قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ .
Narrated Wathilah ibn al-Asqa: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer over bier of a Muslim and I heard him say: O Allah, so and so, son of so and so, is in Thy protection, so guard him from the trial in the grave. (Abdur Rahman in his version said: "In Thy protection and in Thy nearer presence, so guard him from the trial in the grave) and the punishment in Hell. Thou art faithful and worthy of praise. O Allah, forgive him and show him mercy. Thou art the forgiving and the merciful one. " Abdur Rahman said: "On the authority of Marwan ibn Janah. "

Benefits and Issues:
Some people add the following to the salutation (durood) in the funeral prayer:
«كما صليت وسلمت وباركت ورحمت .»
This is completely impermissible because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not teach this. Later, someone fabricated these words by introducing an addition into the religion.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The punishment of the grave is a reality.
That is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam supplicated for protection from the punishment of the grave for the deceased.
However, this pertains to the unseen realm (al-ghayb).
Just as we believe in many other things informed to us by Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam without seeing them,
in the same way, we also believe in the punishment of the grave,
because it is beyond the grasp of the senses of living people.
➋
The punishment of the grave can occur due to sins other than disbelief (kufr) and polytheism (shirk).
For example, not protecting the body and clothes from urine, and tale-bearing (namimah), as when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam heard two persons being punished in their graves, he said: “Both of them are being punished, and they are not being punished for something major (i.e., it was not a sin that was very difficult to avoid).
Yes, one of them did not protect himself from his urine,
and the other used to go about spreading tales (namimah), (telling the words of one to another to cause discord between them).” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Ablution (wudu), Chapter: Of the major sins is not protecting oneself from urine, Hadith: 216)
➌
It is also understood from this hadith that the aforementioned supplication was recited aloud during the funeral prayer.
