حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا فَرَجُ بْنُ الْفَضَالَةِ، حَدَّثَنِي عِصْمَةُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلَّى عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرَدٍ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ بِدَارِهِ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلاً خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ " . قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي مُقَامِي ذَلِكَ أَتَمَنَّى أَنْ أَكُونَ مَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ .

Yahya ibn Hakim narrated to us; Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi narrated to us; Faraj ibn al-Fadalah narrated to us; Ismah ibn Rashid narrated to me, from Habib ibn Ubayd, from Awf ibn Malik, who said: ‘I attended when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the funeral prayer for a man from the Ansar, and I heard him say: “O Allah, bless him, forgive him, have mercy on him, grant him well-being, pardon him, and wash him with water, snow, and hail. Cleanse him of sins and misdeeds as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him a home better than his home and a family better than his family. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Fire.”’ Awf said: ‘At that moment, I found myself wishing I could be in that man’s place.’
