Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a specific supplication for a man after burial, and likewise for a young child?
Answer:
Yes. What is reported is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded seeking forgiveness for him and asking for steadfastness after they finish burying the deceased. They stand at his grave and say, "O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, grant him steadfastness." This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. He said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3221Sahih (Al-Albani). Yes. As for the young child, there is no need for supplication; he does not need to be supplicated for, because he has no sins or evil deeds. Yes.
