يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ , أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ ، يَقُولُ :
" اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا ، وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا ، وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا ، وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا " , قَالَ : وحَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الثَّمَانِ كَلِمَاتٍ وَزَادَ كَلِمَتَيْنِ : " مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led a funeral prayer, and I was also present. I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicating: O Allah! Forgive our living and our deceased, those present and those absent, our young and our old, and our men and our women. Abu Salamah has also narrated this addition: O Allah! Whomever You keep alive from among us, keep him alive upon Islam, and whomever You cause to die from among us, cause him to die upon faith.
