It was narrated that Jubair bin Nufair Al-Hadrami said: “I heard ‘Awf bin Malik say: “I heard the Messenger of Allah offering the funeral prayer for one who had died, and I heard him say in his supplication: Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu wa ‘afihi, wa a’fu ‘anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu wa wassi’ mudkhalahu waghsilhu bil-ma wath-thalji wal-barad, wa naqqihi min al-khataya kama naqqaita-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas. Wa abdihu daran khairan min darhi, wa ahlan khayran min ahlihi, wa zawjan khayran min zawjihi. Wa adkhilahul-jannah wa najjhi min an-nar” (O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound and forgive him, honor the place where he settles and make his entrance wide; wash hm with water and snow and hail, and cleanse him of his sin as you cleanse a white garment of dirt. O Allah, give him a house better than his house and a family better than his house and a family better than his family and a wife better than his wife, and admit him to Paradise and save him from Hellfire).”’ Or he said: “Wa a’idhhu al-qabr (And protect him from the torment of the grave.)”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
أخبرنا هارون بن عبد الله، قال حدثنا معن، قال حدثنا معاوية بن صالح، عن حبيب بن عبيد الكلاعي، عن جبير بن نفير الحضرمي، قال سمعت عوف بن مالك، يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي على ميت فسمعت في دعائه وهو يقول ” اللهم اغفر له وارحمه وعافه واعف عنه وأكرم نزله ووسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ونقه من الخطايا كما نقيت الثوب الأبيض من الدنس وأبدله دارا خيرا من داره وأهلا خيرا من أهله وزوجا خيرا من زوجه وأدخله الجنة ونجه من النار – أو قال – وأعذه من عذاب القبر ” .
