Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ، فَقَالَ: "اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا، اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ". وَقَالَ: "اللَّهُمَّ أَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ".
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed over a funeral and said: "O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whomever You keep alive from among us, keep him alive upon Islam, and whomever You cause to die from among us, cause him to die upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us go astray after him." And he said: "O Allah, protect him from the torment of the grave." (Muwatta’ Malik 540, Graded Sahih by Shu’aib al-Arnaut)
