Mishkat al-Masabih 1688
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ: " اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا وَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا وَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهَا إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْتَ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَهَا وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسِرِّهَا وَعَلَانِيَتِهَا جِئْنَا شُفَعَاءَ فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Abu Hurayra reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning the funeral prayer: ‘O Allah, You are its Lord; You created it and guided it to Islam; You took its soul, and You know its secret and its outward. We have come as intercessors, so forgive him.’ Abu Dawud transmitted it.
Translation notes
The supplication shifts from feminine forms referring to the funeral/deceased to a masculine pronoun in ‘forgive him’; this shift is retained.
