Supplicating for the Deceased

SUMMARY: This hadith is about supplicating for the deceased and asking Allah to forgive them.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet supplicated in course of funeral prayer: "Allahumma Anta Rabbuha, wa Anta khalaqtaha, wa Anta hadaytaha lil-Islam, wa Anta qabadta ruhaha, wa Anta a'lamu bisirriha wa 'alaniyyatiha, ji'naka shufa'a'a lahu if the dead person is a man, or laha if the dead person is a woman, faghfir lahu or laha, if it is a woman (O Allah, You are its Rabb; You created it; You guided it to Islam; You have taken its life back and You know best its insight and outer condition. We have come as intercessors, so forgive him)". Abu Dawud.
وعنه عن النبي الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم في الصلاة علي الجنازة‏:‏ “اللهم أنت ربها، وأنت خلقتها، وأنت هديتها للإسلام، وأنت قبضت روحها، وأنت أعلم بسرها وعلانيتها، جئناك شفعاء له، فاغفر له” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
