When leveling the structure of the grave (al-luhd), the supplication recited is: 'O Allah, protect him from Satan and from the torment of the grave. O Allah, cause the earth to draw away from his sides, elevate his soul, and let him meet Your pleasure.' Ibn Umar affirmed that this was heard directly from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), not his personal opinion.
