Funeral prayer for a child
O Allah, protect him from the punishment of the grave.
These are not the Prophet's ﷺ words but the practice of the Companion Abu Hurayrah in the funeral prayer for a child. Hisn al-Muslim also lists a longer du'a here from later scholars; it is not from a hadith and is left out. Follow any timing or count stated in the cited narration; otherwise it may be used as a general personal du'a.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Muwatta Malik, Mishkat al-Masabih 1689 (sahih, as Abu Hurayrah's practice). No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
