Sahih Muslim 920b (Book 11, Hadith 9) #9279
Supplicating for the Deceased

SUMMARY: This hadith is about supplicating to Allah for the deceased and asking for blessings upon them.

This hadith has been narrated by Khalid al Hadhdha' with the same chain of transmitters but with this alteration that he said: (O Allah! ) let Thee be the caretaker of what is left by him, and he said: Grant him expansion of the grave, but he did not say: Make his grave spacious. Khalid said: He supplicated for the seventh (thing too) which I have forgotten.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي تَرِكَتِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَوْسِعْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلِ ‏"‏ افْسَحْ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَزَادَ قَالَ خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ وَدَعْوَةٌ أُخْرَى سَابِعَةٌ نَسِيتُهَا
