SUPPLICATION UPON THE DEATH OF A MUSLIM

932

“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, came to Abu Salamah after his eyes had become set. He closed them and said, ‘When the soul of a person is taken away, the vision of the eye also follows it.’ Thereupon the members of Abu Salamah's family started to weep. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, admonished them saying, ‘Pray for only that which is good for yourselves, for the angels say 'Ameen' to your supplications.’

Then he supplicated, ‘O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah and exalt his rank among those who are guided, and be the Guardian of those he has left behind. O Lord of the worlds, forgive him and all of us, and make his grave spacious and illumine it for him.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Lady Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, Mother of Believers, related this.
