الدُّعَاءُ لِلْمَيِّتِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْجَنَازَةِ

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 ، وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ.

Supplication for the deceased in the funeral prayer

O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, grant him safety, and pardon him. Honor his reception and make his entrance spacious. Wash him with water, snow, and hail. Purify him of sins as You purify a white garment of dirt. Replace his home with a better home, his family with a better family, and his spouse with a better spouse. Admit him to Paradise and protect him from the trial of the grave and punishment of the Fire.

تفصيل في اللفظ أو الثبوت

روى عوف بن مالك دعاء النبي ﷺ في صلاة الجنازة. تجمع الصيغة المعروضة بين ألفاظ روايتين في صحيح مسلم: إحداهما فيها «وأدخله الجنة»، والأخرى فيها «وقه فتنة القبر وعذاب النار».

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا، اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ.
O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our young and our old, our men and our women, and those of us who are present and those who are absent. O Allah, whoever among us You keep alive, keep them alive in faith, and whoever among us You take in death, let them die in submission to You. O Allah, grant us the reward for bearing this loss and keep us from going astray after him.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ وَحَبْلِ جِوَارِكَ، فَقِهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ الْوَفَاءِ وَالْحَمْدِ، اللَّهُمَّ فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ.
O Allah, [name], son of [name], is in Your care and under the bond of Your protection. Shield him from the trial of the grave and the torment of the Fire. You are true to Your promise and worthy of praise. O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him. You are the All-Forgiving, the Merciful.

اللَّهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ احْتَاجَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِنًا فَزِدْ فِي إِحْسَانِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئًا فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ.
O Allah, Your servant, the son of Your maidservant, stands in need of Your mercy, and You have no need to punish him. If he did good, increase the good credited to him. If he did wrong, overlook his wrongs.
