حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَکِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا فَرَجُ بْنُ الْفَضَالَةِ حَدَّثَنِي عِصْمَةُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی عَلَی رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَائٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرَدٍ وَنَقِّهِ مِنْ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا کَمَا يُنَقَّی الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنْ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ بِدَارِهِ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي مُقَامِي ذَلِکَ أَتَمَنَّی أَنْ أَکُونَ مَکَانَ الرَّجُلِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1500
It was narrated that' Awf bin Malik said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H offering the funeral prayer for a man among the Ansar, and I heard him say: (0 Allah, send blessing upon him, forgive him, have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound, and pardon him; Wash him with water and snow and hail, and cleanse him of sins just as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him in exchange for his house a house that is better than his house, and a family that is better than his family. Protect rum from the trial of the grave and the torment of the Fire)." (Sahih) 'Awf said: "I remember standing there, wishing that I was in the place of that man."
