Abu Dawud (3201)

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا، وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا، وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا، وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا. اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ. اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ، وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ

Allahummaghfir lihayyina wa mayyitina, wa shahidina wa gha'ibina, wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana. Allahumma man ahyaytahu minna fa ahyihi 'alal-Islam, wa man tawaffaytahu minna fatawaffahu 'alal-iman. Allahumma la tahrimna ajrahu, wa la tudillana ba'dah.

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present and those who are absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whomever among us You keep alive, let him live upon Islam, and whomever among us You take in death, let him die upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not lead us astray after him.

Virtue

This is the general supplication taught by the Prophet ﷺ during the funeral prayer.

Abu Dawud (3202)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ وَحَبْلِ جِوَارِكَ، فَقِهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ الْوَفَاءِ وَالْحَقِّ. فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Allahumma inna fulana bna fulanin fi dhimmatika wa habli jiwarik, faqihi min fitnatil-qabri wa 'adhabin-nar, wa anta ahlul-wafa'i wal-haqq. Faghfir lahu warhamhu innaka antal-Ghafur ur-Rahim.

O Allah, so-and-so son of so-and-so is under Your protection and covenant of security. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Fire. You are the One Who fulfills promises and is worthy of truth. Forgive him and have mercy on him, indeed You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Virtue

Muslim (963)

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الْأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ

Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu, wa 'afihi wa'fu 'anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi' mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-barad, wa naqqihi minal-khataya kama naqqaytath-thawbal-abyada minad-danas, wa abdilhu daran khayran min darih, wa ahlan khayran min ahlih, wa zawjan khayran min zawjih, wa adkhilhul-Jannah, wa a'idhhu min 'adhabil-qabri wa 'adhabin-nar.

O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, grant him safety and pardon. Honor his reception, widen his entrance, wash him with water, snow and hail, and purify him from sins as You purify a white garment from filth. Give him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, a spouse better than his spouse. Admit him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire.

Virtue

This comprehensive supplication was reported by 'Awf ibn Malik who said: The Prophet ﷺ prayed over a deceased and I memorized from his supplication these words. I then wished I were that deceased person.

Al-Bayhaqi (4/9)

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ فَرَطًا وَذُخْرًا لِوَالِدَيْهِ، وَشَفِيعًا مُجَابًا. اللَّهُمَّ ثَقِّلْ بِهِ مَوَازِينَهُمَا، وَأَعْظِمْ بِهِ أُجُورَهُمَا، وَأَلْحِقْهُ بِصَالِحِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَاجْعَلْهُ فِي كَفَالَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَقِهِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ

Allahummaj'alhu faratan wa dhukhran liwalidayhi, wa shafi'an mujaban. Allahumma thaqqil bihi mawazimahuma, wa a'dhim bihi ujurahuma, wa alhiqhu bisalihi-l-mu'minin, waj'alhu fi kafalati Ibrahim, wa qihi birahmatika 'adhabal-jahim.

O Allah, make him a forerunner and a treasure for his parents, and an intercessor whose intercession is accepted. O Allah, make their scales heavy through him, magnify their rewards through him, join him with the righteous believers, place him under the care of Ibrahim, and protect him by Your mercy from the punishment of Hellfire.
