Bayhaqi 6968 — Supplication in the funeral prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أنبأ عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، أنبأ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ الْحِمْصِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَفَهِمْتُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ عَلَيْهِ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءِ بَرَدٍ أَوْ ثَلْجٍ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللهُمَّ أَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ " قَالَ عَوْفٌ: فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتَ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَغَيْرِهِ.
Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I offered a funeral prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I understood the supplication he made for him; it was: 'Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu wa'fu anhu wa afihi, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi' alayhi mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bi-ma'i baradin aw thalj, wa naqqihi minal-khataya kama yunaqqath-thawbul-abyadu minad-danas, Allahumma abdilhu daran khayran min darihi, wa zawjan khayran min zawjihi, wa ahlan khayran min ahlihi, wa qihi fitnatal-qabri wa adhaban-nar' (O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, pardon him and grant him well-being, elevate his station and make his grave spacious, wash him with the water of hail or snow, and cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah, exchange his home for a better home, his spouse for a better spouse and his family for a better family, and protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of Hell.) Sayyiduna Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I wished that I were the one whose funeral this was.
