Hadith of ‘Awf bin Malik al-Ashja‘i al-Ansari (RA)

حديث عوف بن مالك الأشجعي الأنصاري

Hadith 1119:31

'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, from Mu'awiyah, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr, from his father, from 'Awf ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed over a deceased person. He said: I understood from his prayer over him: "O Allah, forgive him, and have mercy on him, and wash him with water, and snow, and cleanse him of sins, just as You cleansed the white garment of filth."

حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي، عن معاوية، عن عبد الرحمن بن جبير، عن أبيه، عن عوف بن مالك قال: صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على ميت، قال: ففهمت من صلاته عليه: " اللهم اغفر له، وارحمه، واغسله بالماء، والثلج، ونقه من الخطايا، كما نقيت الثوب الأبيض من الدنس "
