It is authentic. Abu Dawud (5) narrated from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—a similar hadith to that of Abu Ibrahim, with the addition: "O Allah, whoever among us You keep alive, keep him alive upon faith, and whoever among us You take in death, take him in death upon Islam. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not lead us astray after him." In another hadith from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace: "O Allah, You are her Lord, You created her, You guided her to Islam, You took her soul, and You know best her inner and outer state. We have come as intercessors, so forgive him." Recorded by Abu Dawud (6). Muslim (7) narrated with his chain of authority from Awf ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—prayed over a funeral, and I memorized from his supplication that he was saying: "O Allah, forgive him, have mercy upon him, grant him well-being, pardon him, honor his lodging, widen his entrance, wash him with water, snow, and hail, and cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of filth. Exchange his home for a home better than his home, his family for a family better than his family, and his spouse for a spouse better than his spouse. Protect him from the punishment of the grave and from the punishment of the Fire," until I wished that I were that deceased person.
Section: Abu al-Khattab added to what al-Khiraqi mentioned: "O Allah, we have come to You as intercessors for him, so accept our intercession for him. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Fire, honor his final abode, exchange his home for a home better than his home, his neighbors for neighbors better than his neighbors, and do the same for us and for all the Muslims."

صَحِيحٌ. ورَوَى أبو دَاوُدَ (٥)، عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ، عن النَّبِيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ أبى إبراهيمَ، وزَادَ: "اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ على الإِيمَانِ، ومَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الإِسْلَامِ، اللَّهُمَّ لا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ، ولا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ". وفي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ، عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ، عن النَّبِيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-: "اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا، وأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا، وأنْتَ هَدَيْتَهَا لِلإِسْلَامِ، وأَنْتَ قَبَضْتَهَا، وأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسِرِّهَا وعَلَانِيَتِها، جِئْنَا شُفَعَاءَ، فَاغْفِرْ له". رَوَاه أبو دَاوُدَ (٦). ورَوَى مُسْلِمٌ (٧)، بإسْنَادِه عن عَوْفِ بنِ مالكٍ، قال: صَلَّى رسولُ اللهِ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- على جِنَازَةٍ، فحَفِظْتُ من دُعَائِه، وهو يقولُ: "اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ، وَارْحَمْهُ، وعَافِهِ، وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وأكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وأَوْسِعْ مَدْخَلَهُ، واغْسِلْهُ بالماءِ والثَّلْجِ والبَرَدِ، ونَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا، كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أهْلِه، وزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِن زَوْجِه، وأَعِذْهُ مِن عَذَابِ القَبْرِ، ومِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ". حتى تَمَنَّيْتُ أنْ أكُونَ ذلك المَيِّتَ.
فصل: زَادَ أبو الخَطَّابِ على ما ذَكَرَهُ الْخِرَقِيُّ: اللَّهُمَّ جِئْنَاكَ شُفَعَاءَ لَهُ، فَشَفِّعْنَا فيه، وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ القَبْرِ، وعَذَابَ النَّارِ، وأَكْرِمْ مثْوَاهُ، وأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِن دَارِهِ، وجِوَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ جِوَارِهِ، وَافْعَلْ بنا ذلك وبِجَمِيعِ المُسْلِمِينَ. وزَادَ ابنُ
