Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11702 — Reports on the funeral prayer

Ibn Amr bin Ghaylan says that Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite this supplication in the funeral prayer: 'Allahumma ighfir li-ahya'ina wa amwatina al-muslimin. Allahumma ighfir lil-muslimina wal-muslimat wal-mu'minina wal-mu'minat, wa aslih dhata baynihim, wa allif bayna qulubihim, waj'al qulubahum 'ala qulubi khiyarihim. Allahumma ighfir li-fulan ibn fulan dhanbahu, wa alhiqhu bi-nabiyyihi Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Allahumma irfa' darajatahu fil-muhtadin, wakhlufhu fi 'aqibihi fil-ghabirin, waj'al kitabahu fi 'Illiyyin, waghfir lana wa lahu Rabb al-'alamin. Allahumma la tahrimna ajrahu wa la tudillana ba'dahu' (O Allah, forgive our living and our dead among the Muslims. O Allah, forgive the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women, set right the relations between them, bring their hearts together, and make their hearts like the hearts of the best of them. O Allah, forgive so-and-so son of so-and-so his sin, and join him with his Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). O Allah, raise his rank among the rightly guided, be his successor among his descendants who remain behind, place his record in 'Illiyyin, and forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not lead us astray after him).
