"اللَّهُمَّ اغْفرْ له وارْحَمْهُ وعَافهِ واعْفُ عنه وأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ ووسِّعْ مُدْخَلَه واغسِله بالماءِ والثلج والبَردِ، ونقِّه من الخطايا كما نقَّيتَ الثَوبَ الأبيضَ مِنَ الدنَس وأبْدله دارًا خيرًا مِنْ دارِه، وأهلًا خيرًا من أهله وزوجًا خيرًا من زوجه وأدْخله الجنَّةَ وأعِذْه من عذاب القبر، وفي لفظ وقِهِ فتنةَ القبرْ وعذابَ النار" .

Collected by Muslim, Nasāʾī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīI heard it from 'Auf b. Malik that the Prophet ﷺ said prayer on the dead body, and I remembered his prayer:" O Allah! forgive him, have mercy upon him, give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious; wash him with water, snow and hail. Cleanse him from faults as Thou wouldst cleanse a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate. Admit him to the Garden, and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire." ('Auf bin Malik) said: I earnestly desired that I were this dead body.
سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلاً خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ أَوْ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ قَالَ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا ذَلِكَ الْمَيِّتَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَيْضًا
I heard the Prophet ﷺ say (while offering prayer on a dead body): O Allah! forgive him, have mercy upon him. Give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water, snow and hail, cleanse him from faults as is cleaned a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate, and save him from the trial of the grave and torment of Hell. 'Auf b. Malik said: I earnestly desired that I were the dead person to receive the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as this dead body had (received).

Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate, and save him from the trial of the grave and torment of Hell. 'Auf b. Malik said: I earnestly desired that I were the dead person to receive the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as this dead body had (received). (Using translation from Muslim 963d)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرَدٍ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ»
I heard the Prophet ﷺ say (while offering prayer on a dead body): O Allah! forgive him, have mercy upon him. Give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water, snow and hail, cleanse him from faults as is cleaned a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate, and save him from the trial of the grave and torment of Hell. 'Auf b. Malik said: I earnestly desired that I were the dead person to receive the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as this dead body had (received). (Using translation from Muslim 963d)
صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَفَهِمْتُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ عَلَيْهِ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءِ بَرَدٍ أَوْ ثَلْجٍ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ اللهُمَّ أَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتَ
"عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَأَوسعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلهُ بِالْمَاءِ، وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقَّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَنَجِّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، أَوْ قَالَ: قِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ، حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكوُنَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتَ؛ لِدُعَاءِ رَسُولِ الله".
