Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the funeral prayer of a person and supplicated: “O Allah! Indeed, so-and-so son of so-and-so (i.e., this deceased) is under Your responsibility and in the shelter of Your mercy, so protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of Hellfire. You are most worthy of fulfilling (Your responsibility). O Allah! Forgive him, have mercy on him. Indeed, You are the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
