Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) 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 Rubb; 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].

Wathilah bin Al-Asqa` (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) 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].''

`Abdullah bin Abu Aufa (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
While offering the funeral prayer of one
of his daughters, he recited four Takbir, and after the fourth Takbir he continued standing for a time equal to an
interval between two Takbir, praying for her and seeking Allah's forgiveness for her.'' Then he said: "The Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) used to do so.''
Another narration is: He (Abdullah) recited four Takbir and remained standing in prayer for some time till we
thought that he would recite the fifth Takbir. Then he gave Salam on the right and on the left. When he turned aside,
we asked him about it. He replied:
"I would add nothing to what I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) doing,''
or he
said:
"The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to do so.''
[Al-Hakim].
Commentary:
All the above mentioned supplications are those which were recited by the Prophet (PBUH) in the
funeral prayers. It is, therefore, advisable if they are all put together and recited because we are commanded to pray
sincerely for a dead body. Another point comes to our knowledge about the funeral prayer, that is to say, it may be
said aloud as affirmed by the above mentioned Ahadith because if the Prophet (PBUH) had not offered it aloud, the
Companions would not have been able to memorize these supplications. Thirdly, we are uncertain that after saying a
funeral prayer, the Prophet ü and his Companions ever stood round the bier and supplicated for the dead body. It is
an innovation
(Bid`ah)
and must be abolished. We are unauthorized to refer this practice to the Prophet (PBUH). It
looks strange that believers should persist in reciting supplications in their own self-styled way after the funeral
