[2234] 86 - (...) It was narrated that 'Awf bin Mâlik Al-Ashja'î said: "I heard the Prophet ﷺ offering the funeral prayer and he said: 'Allâhmaghfirlahu wârhamhu wâfu 'anhu wa 'âfihi, wa akrim nuzulahu wa wassi' mudkhalahu wâghsilhu bimâ'in wa thaljin wa-baradin wa naqqihi min al-khatâya kamâ yunaqqath-thawbul-abyadu min ad-danasi wa abdilhu dâran khairan min dârihi, wa ahlân khairan min ahlîhi wa zawjâ khairan min zawjihi, waqîhi fitnatal-qabri wa 'adhâbin-nâr (O Allâh, forgive him, have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound, and pardon him, receive him with honor, make his grave spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of his sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, a spouse better than his spouse. Protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of Fire.)" 'Awf said: "I wished that I had been that deceased person, because of the supplication of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ for that deceased person."

86 - (963) وحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الْحِمْصِيِّ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي الطَّاهِرِ - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ يَقُولُ: «اللهُمَّ، اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرَدٍ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ» قَالَ عَوْفٌ: «فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا الْمَيِّتَ، لِدُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَيِّتِ»
