حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو الْجُلَاسِ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ شَمَّاخٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ مَرْوَانَ ، سَأَلَ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : مَعَ الَّذِي قُلْتُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ :
" اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا ، وَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا ، وَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهَا لِلْإِسْلَامِ ، وَأَنْتَ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَهَا ، وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسِرِّهَا وَعَلَانِيَتِهَا ، جِئْنَا شُفَعَاءَ فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا " .
Uthman bin Shammakh says that once Marwan asked Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) in my presence, "Which supplication did you hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite in the funeral prayer?" He replied: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: O Allah, You are his Lord, You created him, You guided him to Islam, and You took his soul. You know his hidden and apparent (deeds). We have come to You as intercessors for him, so forgive him.
