أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، أنبأ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ 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 يَقُولُونَ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَأَرْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّينَ، وَأَخْلِفْهُ فِي عَقِبِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ، وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اللهُمَّ أَفْسِحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ، وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) while his eyes were open, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) closed his eyes. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when the soul is taken, the sight follows it." At this, members of his household cried out. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not supplicate for yourselves except for good, for the angels say Amin to whatever you say." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allahumma ighfir li-Abi Salamah, warfa' darajatahu fi al-mahdiyyin, wakhlufhu fi 'aqibihi fi al-ghabirin, waghfir lana wa lahu ya Rabb al-'alamin, wafsah lahu fi qabrihi, wa nawwir lahu fihi' (O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, raise his rank among the rightly guided, and be his successor (guardian) among those he has left behind. O Lord of the worlds, forgive us and him. O Allah, make his grave spacious for him and illuminate his grave for him).
