حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ جَنَاحٍ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ بْنِ حَلْبَسٍ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ صَلَّی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَسْمَعُهُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ فِي ذِمَّتِکَ وَحَبْلِ جِوَارِکَ فَقِهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ وَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ الْوَفَائِ وَالْحَقِّ فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ إِنَّکَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1499
It was narrated that Wathilah bin Asqa' said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H offered the funeral prayer for a man among the Muslims and I heard him say: '0 Allah, so-and-so the son of soand-so is in Your care and under Your protection. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the torment of the Fire, for You are the One Who keeps the promIse and You are the Truth. Forgive him and have mercy on him, for You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Hasan)
