Forgive him, have mercy upon him, and wash him with (snow or ice) (and wash him) just as a garment is washed.”” (Sahih)

Commentary
There are various supplications and invocations for the funeral prayer which the Prophet ﷺ recited. Sometimes he recited these invocations loudly, and his Companions have preserved them, learning them by heart. Maybe the Prophet ﷺ did it for that reason, and the Companions preserved these supplications, because the main purpose of the funeral prayer is to ask Allāh's Blessings for the deceased.
