2 adhkar in their Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with their English meaning.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
((اللَّهُمَّ أَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ)) وإن قال: ((اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ فَرَطاً وَذُخْراً لِوَالِدَيْهِ، وَشَفِيعاً مُجَاباً، اللَّهُمَّ ثَقِّلْ بِهِ مَوَازِينَهُمَا، وَأَعْظِمْ بِهِ أُجورَهُمَا، وَأَلْحِقْهُ بِصَالِحِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَاجْعَلْهُ فِي كَفَالَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَقِهِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَاراً خَيْراً مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَأَهْلاً خَيْراً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَسْلاَفِنَا، وَأَفْرَاطِنَا، وَمَنْ سَبَقَنَا بِالْإِيمَانِ)) إن قال ذلك فَحَسَنٌ.
Allahumma a'idhhu min 'adhabil-qabri w'in qal: Allahummaj'alhu faratan wadhukhran liwal-dayh, washafee'an mujaba, Allahumma thaqqil bihi mawazeenahuma, wa a'zim bihi ujoorahuma, wa alhiqhu bisalihil-mu'mineen, waj'alhu fee kafal-ti ibraheem, waqihi birahmatika 'adhabal-jaheem, wa abdilhu daran khayran min darih, wa ahlan khayran min ahlih, Allahummaghfir li'aslafina, wa afratina, waman sabaqana bil-eemani in qal dhlk fahasan.
O Allah, protect him from the torment of the grave . [it is also good to say] O Allah, make him a precursor, a forerunner and a treasure for his parents and an answered intercessor. O Allah, make him weigh heavily in their scales (of good) and magnify their reward. Make him join the righteous of the believers. Place him in the care of Ibrahim. Save him by Your mercy from the torment of Hell. Give him a home better than his home and a family better than his family. O Allah, forgive those who have gone (i.e. passed away) before us, our children lost (by death), and those who have preceded us in Faith.
once((اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا فَرَطاً، وَسَلَفاً، وَأَجْراً)).
Allahummaj'alhu lana farata, wasalafa, wa ajra.
(O Allah, make him for us a precursor,a forerunner and a cause of reward)
