Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11694 — Reports on the funeral prayer

Uthman bin Shammas said: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) when Marwan passed by him and said: "(Hold back) some of your hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he went away, and after a while he came back. We said (to one another): "Now he will fall upon him." But he asked: "What have you heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite in the funeral prayer?" He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this (supplication): 'Allahumma anta hadaytaha lil-Islam, wa anta qabadta ruhaha, ta'lamu sirraha wa 'alaniyataha, ji'naka shufa'a'a, faghfir laha' (O Allah, You guided her to Islam and You took her soul; You know her secret and her open affairs. We have come to You as intercessors, so forgive her).
