Chapter: Closing the eyes of the deceased and supplicating for him, when he dies
Hadith 920
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إسحاق الْفَزَارِيُّ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، وَقَدْ شَقَّ بَصَرُهُ فَأَغْمَضَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِنَّ الرُّوحَ إِذَا قُبِضَ تَبِعَهُ الْبَصَرُ ، فَضَجَّ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ ، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّينَ ، وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي عَقِبِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، وَافْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ " .
Umm Salamah reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (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.
Hadith 920
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي تَرِكَتِهِ " ، وَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ أَوْسِعْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ " ، وَلَمْ يَقُلِ افْسَحْ لَهُ ، وَزَادَ قَالَ خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ : " وَدَعْوَةٌ أُخْرَى سَابِعَةٌ نَسِيتُهَا " .
This hadith has been narrated by Khalid al Hadhdha' with the same chain of transmitters but with this alteration that he said: (O Allah!) let Thee be the caretaker of what is left by him, and he said: Grant him expansion of the grave, but he did not say: Make his grave spacious. Khalid said: He supplicated for the seventh (thing too) which I have forgotten.
