Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11692 — Reports on the funeral prayer

Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this supplication over a deceased person: 'Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu, wa 'afihi wa'fu 'anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa awsi' mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-barad, wa naqqihi min al-khataya kama yunaqqa al-thawbu al-abyadu min al-danas. Allahumma abdilhu daran khayran min darihi, wa zawjan khayran min zawjihi, wa ahlan khayran min ahlihi, wa adkhilhu al-jannata wa najjihi min al-nar' (O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, grant him well-being and pardon him, make his reception honourable and his entrance spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah, give him in exchange a home better than his home, a spouse better than his spouse and a family better than his family, admit him to Paradise and save him from the Fire). Or he said: 'Wa qihi 'adhab al-qabr' (and protect him from the punishment of the grave). Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik said: I longed so much that I had been in his place (and that these supplications had been for me).
