Bayhaqi 6965 — Supplication in the funeral prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَمَامِيُّ الْمُقْرِئُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ ⦗٦٦⦘ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ السُّلَمِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: " اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ عَلَيْهِ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَزَوْجَةً خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجَتِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ، حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا ذَلِكَ الْمَيِّتَ ".
Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led a funeral prayer, and I memorised his (peace and blessings be upon him) supplication; he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: 'Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu wa afihi wa'fu anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi' alayhi mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-barad, wa naqqihi minal-khataya kama yunaqqath-thawbul-abyadu minad-danas, wa abdilhu daran khayran min darihi, wa ahlan khayran min ahlihi, wa zawjatan khayran min zawjatihi, wa adkhilhul-jannah, wa a'idhhu min adhabil-qabri wa min adhabin-nar' (O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, pardon him and overlook his faults, elevate his station and make his grave spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of sins as a garment is cleansed of dirt; exchange his home for a better home, his family for a better family, and his spouse for a better spouse; admit him into Paradise, and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of Hell), until I wished that I had been that deceased.
