حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی الْقَطَّانُ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّی بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّائُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي تَرِکَتِهِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَوْسِعْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ افْسَحْ لَهُ وَزَادَ قَالَ خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّائُ وَدَعْوَةٌ أُخْرَی سَابِعَةٌ نَسِيتُهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2131
Umm Salama reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon came to Abu Salama (as he died). His eyes were fixedly open. He closed them, and then said: When the soul is taken away the sight follows it. Some of the people of his family wept and wailed. So he said: Do not supplicate for yourselves anything but good, for angels say Amen to what you say. He then said: O Allah, forgive Abu Salama, raise his degree among those who are rightly guided, grant him a successor in his descendants who remain. Forgive us and him, O Lord of the Universe, and make his grave spacious, and grant him light in it.
