Saying "So-and-so is a mercy" or "He has transitioned to the mercy of Allah"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on saying "So-and-so is a mercy" or "He has transitioned to the mercy of Allah"?

Answer:
One should supplicate for him with mercy, saying "May Allah have mercy on him," and not say "the deceased" or "he has transitioned to the mercy of Allah." Even if this falls under the category of hope and supplication, it is better to supplicate for him with mercy, saying "May Allah have mercy on him." Yes.
