اُردوEn
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَيِّتَ أَوْ الْمَرِيضَ فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ))، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَقَالَ: ((قُولِي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلَهُ وَأَعْقِبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبَى حَسَنَةً))، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: فَأَعْقَبَنِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْهُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you visit a sick person or someone near death, say good words, because whatever you say, the angels say Ameen to it. When my husband, Sayyiduna Abu Salama (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Abu Salama has died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite this supplication: "Allahumma ighfir li wa lahu wa a’qibni minhu ‘uqba hasanah" (O Allah! Forgive me and him, and grant me a better substitute than him). Then Allah Almighty granted me, in his place, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), who was better for me than him.
