[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in his prayer for a Muslim man, "O Allah, indeed so-and-so is under Your protection and the rope of Your provision. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Fire. Indeed, You are the trustworthy and the truthful. O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him. Indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ «اللهُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانًا فِي ذِمَّتَكَ وَحَبْلِ جِوَارِكَ فَقِهْ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ إِنَّكَ أَهْلُ الْوَفَاءِ وَالْحَقِّ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ»

Duʿāʾ of forgiveness for the one who passed away

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in a ˹funeral˺ prayer of a Muslim and I heard him say, allāhuma inna [name of person] fī dhimmatik, faqihī fitnat al-qabr (O Allah, so and so, son of so and so, is under Your custodianship, so protect him from the trial in the grave.)” ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ˹in his version˺ said, “fī dhimmatik, wa-ḥabli jiwārik, faqihī min fitnat al-qabr, wa-ʿadhāb al-nār, wa-ʾanta ahl al-wafāʾ, wa-al-ḥamd; allāhuma fa-ighfir lahu wa-irḥamhu, innaka anta al-ghafūr al-raḥīm (under Your custodianship and ˹holding on to˺ the rope of Your security, so protect him from the trial in the grave and the torment of Hellfire. For You are most capable of fulfilling ˹duʿāʾ˺ and deserving of praise. O Allah, forgive him and show him mercy for You are the forgiving and the Most Merciful.)"
