Dua at the funeral prayer — forgive and have mercy
اللهُـمِّ اغْفِـرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْـه، وَعافِهِ وَاعْفُ...
اللهُـمِّ اغْفِـرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْـه، وَعافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْـه، وَأَكْـرِمْ نُزُلَـه، وَوَسِّـعْ مُدْخَـلَه، وَاغْسِلْـهُ بِالماءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالبَـرَد، وَنَقِّـهِ مِنَ الخَطـايا كَما نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَس، وَأَبْدِلْهُ داراً خَـيْراً مِنْ دارِه، وَأَهْلاً خَـيْراً مِنْ أَهْلِـه، وَزَوْجَـاً خَـيْراً مِنْ زَوْجِه، وَأَدْخِـلْهُ الجَـنَّة، وَأَعِـذْهُ مِنْ عَذابِ القَـبْرِ وَعَذابِ النّـار
Allahummagh-fir lahu warhamh, waAAafihi, waAAfu AAanh, wa-akrim nuzulah, wawassiAA mudkhalah, waghsilhu bilma-i waththalji walbarad, wanaqqihi minal-khataya kama naqqaytath-thawbal-abyada minad-danas, wa-abdilhu daran khayran min darih, wa-ahlan khayran min ahlih wazawjan khayran min zawjih, wa-adkhilhul-jannah, wa-aAAithhu min AAathabil-qabr waAAathabin-nar
Translation
O Allah, forgive and have mercy upon him, excuse him and pardon him, and make honourable his reception. Expand his entry, and cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth. Exchange his home for a better home, and his family for a better family, and his spouse for a better spouse. Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.
When to recite
