[052] Supplication for the advancement of reward during the funeral prayer |

One can also say:

‘O Allaah, make him a preceding reward and a stored treasure for his parents, and an answered intercessor. O Allaah, through him, make heavy their scales and magnify their reward. Unite him with the righteous believers, place him under the care of Ibraaheem, and protect him by Your mercy from the torment of Hell.’

al-Hasan used to recite the opening Soorah of the Qur.aan [i.e., al-Faatihah] over the child and then supplicate:

‘O Allaah, make him a preceding reward, a prepayment and a recompense for us.’
