Supplications in Funeral Prayers
To pronounce four Takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) in the funeral prayer. After the first Takbir, after saying A`udhu
billahi minash-Shaitanir-rajim, recite Surat Al-Fatihah. After the second Takbir, send Salam [Allahumma Salli `ala
Muhammadin wa `ala ali Muhammadin kama sallaita `ala Ibrahima wa `ala ali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majid.
Allahumma barik `ala Muhammadin wa `ala ali Muhammadin, kama barakta `ala Ibrahima, wa `ala ali Ibrahima,
innaka Hamidun Majid. Then after the third Takbir, invoke supplication for the deceased and for the Muslims as we
will mention later on, in sha' Allah. After the fourth Takbir, supplicate Allah. (Some of the supplications of the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH), which are to be recited after the third Takbir are mentioned in the following Ahadith:)

Abu `Abdur-Rahman `Auf bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) offered a funeral prayer and I memorized his supplication. He (PBUH) prayed:
"Allahummaghfir lahu,
warhamhu, wa `afihi, wa`fu `anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi` mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-
baradi, wa naqqihi minal-khataya, kama naqqaytath-thawbal-abyada minad-danasi, wa abdilhu daran khairan min
darihi, wa ahlan khairan min ahlihi, wa zawjan khairan min zawjihi, wa adkhilhul-Jannata, wa a`idh-hu min
`adhabil-qabri, wa min `adhabin-nar [if the dead person is a woman, one should change the ending of certain words
in this supplication from hu to ha] (O Allah! Forgive him, bestow mercy upon him, pardon him, accord him a noble
provision and make his grave spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, purify him from sins as You have
purified the white garment from soiling, give him a better abode in place of his present one, and a better family in
exchange of his present one, and a better spouse in place of his present wife; admit him to Jannah and protect from
the trial in the grave and punishment in the Hell).''
(After hearing this supplication of the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH), Abu' Abdur-Rahman 'Auf bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I wished I had been that dead
man.

Abu Hurairah, Abu Qatadah, and Abu Ibrahim Al-Ash-hali (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The
Prophet (PBUH) offered a funeral prayer and said:
"Allahummaghfir lihaiyina wa maiyitina, wa saghirina wa
kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana, wa shahidina wa gha'ibina. Allahumma man ahyaiytahu minna, fa'ahyihi `alal-
Islam, wa man tawaffaiytahu minna, fatawaffahu `alal-Iman. Allahumma la tahrimna ajrahu, wa la taftinna ba`dahu
(O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our present and our absent, our young and our old, our male and our
female. O Allah, whosoever of us You keep alive, keep him alive (faithful) to Isl m, and whosoever of us You
cause to die, let him die having Iman. O Allah, do not deprive us of our reward (for being patient) and do not subject
us to trials after his death.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
