O’ Allah (swt), make him taste the intensity of Your fire. O’ Allah (swt), make him feel the heat of Your punishment, for he was loyal to Your enemies, hostile to Your allies, and had hatred for the family of Your Prophet.'"

Allāhumma ḍayyiq ‘alayhi qabrahu 'O’ Allah (swt), we know of him only that he was an enemy to You and Your Messenger. O’ Allah (swt), fill his grave with fire, fill his innermost with fire, and hasten him toward the fire, for he was loyal to Your enemies, hostile to Your allies, and had hatred for the family of Your Prophet. O’ Allah (swt), make his grave tight upon him.'" And when his coffin bier is raised, say: Allāhumma lā tarfa‘hu wa lā tuzakkih "O’ Allah (swt), do not raise him up or purify him."

And If the Mustadh’af has a connection to you, seek forgiveness for him as an intercession but not as an expression of loyalty."
