Sayings (Hadiths) of Prophet Muhammad

About performing the funeral prayer and escorting the deceased
to the grave and some general rulings

1-Narrated Ibn Abbas: I have heard the Prophet saying: “if any Muslim dies and forty men who associate nothing with Allah offer the funeral prayer for him, Allah will accept them as intercessors for him. "
(Muslim)

2-Narrated Awf ibn Malek: Allah’s Messenger performed the funeral prayer for a dead boy and I memorized his supplication: “o Allah! Forgive him, show him mercy, grant him security, pardon him, grant him a noble provision and a spacious lodging, wash him with water, snow, ice, and hail, purify him from sins as the white garment is purified from filth, give him a better abode in place of his present one, a better family in place of his present one, and a better spouse in place of his present one, put him in Paradise, and save him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of Hell. "
(Muslim)
