اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُمَا وَارْحَمْهُمَا وَعَافِهِمَا وَاعْفُ عَنْهُمَا وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُمَا وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُمَا وَاغْسِلْهُمَا بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ
Allahummagh-fir lahuma warhamhuma wa 'afihima wa'fu 'anhuma wa akrim nuzulahuma wa wassi' mudkhalahuma waghsilhuma bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-barad
O Allah, forgive them both, have mercy on them, grant them well-being, pardon them, honor their reception, expand their entrance, and wash them with water, snow, and hail.
Seven requests for your parents — living or deceased — drawn from the Prophet's ﷺ funeral du'a. Maghfirah (forgiveness), rahmah (mercy), 'afiyah (well-being), 'afw (complete pardon), akrim nuzulahuma (honor their reception — as guests arriving at Allah's hospitality), wassi' mudkhalahuma (expand their entrance — make their grave spacious), and the purification imagery of water, snow, and hail — three degrees of cleansing that wash away every trace of sin. For living parents, it covers their health and spiritual state. For deceased parents, it covers their afterlife comfort. Say it daily — it reaches them even in the grave.
