1500. It was narrated that 'Awf bin Mâlik said: "I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ offering the funeral prayer for a man among the Ansâr, and I heard him say: 'Allâhumma salli 'alayhi waaghfirlahu warhamhu, wa 'âfihi wa'fu 'anhu, waghsilhu bi mâ'in wa thaljin wa baradin, wa naqqihi min adhi-dhunubi wal-khatâya kamâ yunaqqath-thawbul-abyadu minad-danas, wa abdilhu bi dârihi dâran khayran min dârihi, wa aylan khayran min ahlhi, wa qihi fitnatal-qabri wa 'adhâban-nâr'. (O Allâh, send blessing upon him, forgive him, have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound, and pardon him; wash him with water and snow and hail, and cleanse him of sins just as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him in exchange for his house a house that is better
than his house, and a family that is better than his family. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the torment of the Fire).'" (Sahih)
'Awf said: "I remember standing there, wishing that I was in the place of that man."
