Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud informed us, saying: Yazid—namely, Ibn Zuray‘—narrated to us, saying: Hisham ibn Abi ‘Abd Allah narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Ibrahim al-Ansari, from his father, who heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say during the funeral prayer: ‘O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those of us who are present and those who are absent, our males and our females, our young and our old.’
