Dua as death approaches
Recited beside a dying person (male form shown; for a female the suffixes change). The dying person should also be helped to recite the Kalemah
اللَّهُمَّ إِن كَانَ حَضَرَ أَجَلُهُ فَسَهِّل عَلَيهِ أَمرَهُ وَأَخرِجهُ إِلَى رِضَاءٍ مِنكَ وَالرِّضوَانِ وَلَقِّهِ الْبُشرَى وَاغفِر لَهُ وَارحَمهُ بِرَحمَتِكَ يَا أَرحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَبدُكَ إِن كَانَ بَقِيَ أَجَلُهُ وَرِزقُهُ وَأَثَرُهُ فَعَجِّل شِفَاءَهُ وَعَافِيَتَهُ (كَلِمَة لِلمُحتَضَر:) أَشهَدُ أَن لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَشهَدُ أَنَّ مَولَانَا عَلِيًّا وَصِيُّهُ وَوَزِيرُهُ
Allāhumma in kāna ḥaḍara ajalahu fa-sahhil ʿalayhi amrahu wa akhrijhu ilā riḍāʾin minka war-riḍwān. Wa laqqihi l-bushrā waghfir lahu warḥamhu bi-raḥmatika yā Arḥamar rāḥimīn. Allāhumma hādha ʿabduka in kāna baqiya ajalahu wa rizquhu wa atharahu fa-ʿajjil shifāʾahu wa ʿāfiyatah. (Kalemah for the dying:) Ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan ʿabduhu wa rasūluhu wa ashhadu anna mawlānā ʿAliyyan waṣiyyuhu wa wazīruhu
O Allah, if his appointed time has come, make his affair easy and take him to Your pleasure and acceptance. Give him glad tidings, forgive him, and have mercy on him by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful. O Allah, this is Your servant — if his appointed time, provision, and life are still remaining, hasten his cure and recovery. (Kalemah to be recited with or for the dying person:) I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He alone, with no partner. I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. I bear witness that our Master Ali is his successor and minister.
