It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the funeral prayer over a deceased person, he would supplicate with this du'a: "'Allahumma ighfir li-hayyina wa mayyitina, wa shahidina wa gha'ibina, wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana, man abqaytahu minna fa-abqihi 'ala al-Islam, wa man tawaffaytahu fa-tawaffahu 'ala al-iman' (O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those of us who are present and those who are absent, our young and our old, and our men and our women; O Allah, whomever of us You keep alive (in this world), keep him alive upon Islam, and whomever You cause to die, cause him to die in a state of faith)." In the chain of this narration, the narrator who narrates from Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) is unnamed (mubham: "a companion of mine").
