Sayyiduna al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when teaching them the funeral prayer, (taught them this supplication): "O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, set right the affairs between us, and create affection between our hearts. O Allah, this is Your servant so-and-so, son of so-and-so; we know nothing of him but good, and You know best about him, so forgive us and him." The narrator says: I said to him, though I was the youngest of them: "What if I do not know any good about him?" He said: "Say only what you know."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Layth bin Abi Sulaym, who is thiqah (trustworthy) but a mudallis (one who conceals defects in the chain).
