Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and give him strength and pardon him. Be
generous to him and cause his entrance to be wide and wash him with water and snow

an abode better than his home, and a family better than his family and a wife better than
his wife. Take him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave [and
from the punishment of Hell-fire].
