الدعاء عند إغماض الميت

1. اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِفُلاَنٍ (بِاسْمِهِ) وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّينَ، وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي عَقِبِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ، وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَافْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ، وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ.

   O Allah, forgive so-and-so (mention his name), raise his rank among the rightly guided, take his place with those he leaves behind, and forgive us and him, Lord of the worlds. Make his grave spacious and give it light for him.

Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim), Sa‘id ibn ‘Ali al-Qahtani. MushafPlus translation made from the Arabic, not reviewed by a specialist.
