`May Allah have mercy on you (Yarhamuk-Allah) When he seeks counsel, give him good advice When someone sick, visit him. When he dies, follow his funeral.

Speaking well of him and seeking forgiveness for him will ease his condition in the grave.

In turn, when you die, others will also feel for you and make du’a sincerely for your forgiveness.
