Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu wa ‘afihi wa‘fu ‘anh.
O Allah, forgive him, show him mercy, grant him wellbeing, and pardon him.
What the excerpt contains
Sahih Muslim 963a–b records a supplication heard during a funeral prayer. The card presents an excerpt, not all the words in that narration and not a complete guide to performing janazah.
Its requests for forgiveness, mercy and wellbeing concern the deceased. They are addressed to Allah. Keeping the source setting visible helps distinguish this prayer from the greeting transmitted for visiting a graveyard.
Pronouns and personal use
The selected Arabic uses masculine singular pronouns because that is the cited wording. A feminine, plural or named adaptation should be learned accurately from a qualified teacher, rather than made by changing transliteration letters at random.
When sending condolences, use an ordinary compassionate message and keep any quoted prayer clearly attributed. Do not imply that an unverified graphic is a complete Prophetic funeral script.
Supporting someone who is grieving
A short prayer can accompany practical kindness: listening, helping with meals or transport and respecting the family’s preferences. Let the bereaved person set the pace of conversation, rather than requiring them to repeat a formula as a test of patience.
Questions about funeral procedure, absent funeral prayer or a particular relative’s circumstances require more than this excerpt. Bring the facts to a trusted local scholar.
Common questions
Is this the graveyard greeting? No; that has a separate narration and wording. Is the whole funeral dua shown? The card is explicitly an opening excerpt. Can I automatically use the parental prayers here? Their scope and the person’s circumstances need consideration. May I change the gender ending myself? Obtain an accurate taught variant; the source quotation should remain intact.
