Riyad as-Salihin 939 (Book 6, Hadith 46) #37428
The Prophet's Funeral Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) leading a funeral prayer for a Muslim man and asking Allah to forgive him and be merciful to him.

Wathilah bin Al-Asqa' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah led the funeral prayer of a Muslim man in our presence, and I heard him saying "Allahumma inna name of the dead person fi dhimmatika wa habli jiwarika, faqihi fitnatal- qabri; wa 'adhaban-Nari, wa Anta ahlul-wafa'i wal-hamdi; Allahumma faghfir lahu warhamhu, innaka Antal-Ghafur-ur-Rahim If the dead person is a woman, one can change hu in some words here with ha O Allah, (so-and-so son of so-and-so) is in Your Protection and inside the surroundings of Your Refuge. Safeguard him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Hell. You keep Your Promise and You deserve to be praised. O Allah! Forgive him and be merciful to him. Indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful". Abu Dawud.
وعن واثلة بن الأسقع رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ صلى بنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علي رجل من المسلمين، فسمعته يقول‏:‏ ‏ "‏اللهم إن فلان ابن فلان في ذمتك وحبل جوارك، فقه فتنة القبر، وعذاب النار، وأنت أهل الوفاء والحمد؛ اللهم اغفر له وارحمه، إنك أنت الغفور الرحيم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
