حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَی الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَحِيرٍ عَنْ هَانِئٍ مَوْلَی عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِ الْمَيِّتِ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيکُمْ وَسَلُوا لَهُ بِالتَّثْبِيتِ فَإِنَّهُ الْآنَ يُسْأَلُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد بَحِيرٌ ابْنُ رَيْسَانَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3221
Narrated Uthman ibn Affan: Whenever the Prophet ﷺ became free from burying the dead, he used to stay at him (i. e. his grave) and say: Seek forgiveness for your brother, and beg steadfastness for him, for he will be questioned now. Abu Dawud said: The full name of the narrator Buhair is Buhair bin Raisan.
