Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abu Auf narrates that Hazrat Sharjeel bin Simt's funeral was attended by Hazrat Ibn Lahi Al-Hawzani, and Hazrat Habib bin Muslimah Al-Fihri was brought forward to lead the prayer. He turned towards us in such a way as a tall person turns with his height, then said: Pray well for your brother, but the supplication you make for him should be like this: "O Allah, forgive this upright, Muslim soul, and make him among those who repented and followed Your path, and protect him from the punishment of Hellfire, and seek Allah's help against your enemy."
