Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiDU’A (SUPPLICATION) FOR PARDON FOR THOSE WHO ARE NO MORE
Hadrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying “A dead man in his grave is just like a drowning man calling for help, for he hopes that a supplication from a father, a brother, or a friend may reach him, and when it does it is dearer to him than the world and what it contains. ALLAAH brings to those who are in the graves blessings several times as great as the size of the mountains because of the supplication of those who are on the earth. The gift of the living to the dead is to ask pardon for them.” [Baihaqi In Shu’Abu Imam]
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying ALLAAH who is great and glorious will raise a righteous servants degree in paradise and when he asks his Lord how this has been, granted to him, he will reply that it is because his son had asked pardon for him.”
Hadrat Abu Darda (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the messenger of ALLAAH as saying: A servant of ALLAAH will become a favoured one of ALLAAH whose prayers are answered and by whose benediction the humanity gets its sustenance, if he makes the following supplication twenty five or twenty seven times every day for the sins of the believing men and women to be pardoned.
(O ALLAAH! Pardon all the believing men and women and all-Muslim men and women, both living and dead). [Husn -e- Haseen]
