Asking Allah for Forgiveness for All

SUMMARY: This hadith is about asking Allah to forgive the living and the dead, regardless of their gender, age or presence.

It was narrated from Abu Ibrahim Al-Ansari, from his father, that: he heard the Prophet say, when offering the funeral prayer for one who had died: Allahummighfir lihayyina wa mayyitina wa shahidina wa gha'ibina wadhakarina wa unthana wa saghirina wa kabirina (O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, our males and our females, our young and our old).
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about asking Allah to forgive all those who have passed away, regardless of their gender, age or presence. The Prophet Muhammad was offering a funeral prayer for someone who had died and asked Allah to forgive not only the deceased but also those who are living. He asked forgiveness for males and females, young and old alike. This teaches us that we should always remember our loved ones in our prayers and ask Allah to grant them mercy and forgiveness in this life as well as in the hereafter. We should also remember that everyone deserves forgiveness no matter what their age or gender may be; it is up to us to show mercy towards others just as we would want them to show mercy towards us.
