Prophetic Supplications: When Hearing of Muslim’s Death

When Hearing of Muslim’s Death

Imam Sadiq (PBUH) from his blessed forefathers narrates that the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: Whenever you hear of the death of a Muslim brother say:

إِنَّا للَّهِِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ« اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْهُ عِنْدَكَ فِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ اجْعَلْ كِتَابَهُ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ اخْلُفْ عَلَى تَرِكَتِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَ لاَ تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُ.

Verily we are from Allah and to Him shall we return.

O Allah, write him with You as a good doer and keep his book of deeds along with the book of deeds of the heavenly ones, and be his successor for those he left behind, O Lord of the worlds forgive and deprive us not of his rewards and make us not corrupt after him.

Surely the recitation of this Supplication will complete the reward given for the calamity faced by those the deiced left behind Inshallah,

And praise is exclusively for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
