O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, grant him well-being and pardon him, honor his resting place and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water, snow, and hail. Cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Replace his worldly home with a better home, his family with a better family, and his spouse with a better spouse. Admit him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire.
