وَحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْجَهْضَمِىُّ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِى حَمْزَةَ الْحِمْصِىِّ ح وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِىُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِى الطَّاهِرِ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِى حَمْزَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِىِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَصَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ يَقُولُ « اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرَدٍ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلاً خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ ». قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا الْمَيِّتَ لِدُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَيِّتِ.

It was narrated that 'Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja'i said: "I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) offering the funeral prayer and he said: 'Allahmmaghfirlahu warhamhu wa'fu 'anhu wa 'afihi, wa akrim nuzulahu wa wassi' mudkhalahu waghsilhu bima'in wa thaljin wa-baradin wa naqqihi min al-khataya kama yunaqqath-thawbul- abyadu min ad-danasi wa abdilhu daran khairan min darihi, wa ahlan khairan min ahlihi wa zawja khairan min zawjihi, waqihi fitnatal-qabri wa 'adhabin-nar (O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound, and pardon him, receive him with honor, make his grave spacious, wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of his sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, a spouse better than his spouse. Protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of Fire.)"' 'Awf said: "I wished that I had been that deceased person, because of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) for that deceased person."
