ON THE SUBJECT OF 152 WHAT IS TO BE SAID WHEN A PERSON DIES; WHEN THE ANGELS SAY AMEEN H 933 "When you visit someone who is sick or one who has just died say only that which is good, because the angels say 'Ameen' to whatever you say. She, Lady Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, added, 'When Abu Salamah died I went to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, Abu Salamah has passed away.' He directed me, 'Supplicate, O Allah, forgive me and him and give to me in return a good replacement.' I supplicated as he had directed, and Allah gave to me one better than him" (who was Prophet Muhammad). R 933 Muslim with a chain up to Lady Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, the Mother of Believers, who related the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
باب ما يقال عند الميت وَمَا يقوله من مات له ميت 920- عن أُم سَلَمة رضي اللهُ عنها ، قالت : قَالَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "إِذَا حَضَرتُمُ المَرِيضَ أَو المَيِّتَ ، فَقُولُوا خَيْراً ، فَإنَّ المَلائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ" ، قالت: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سلَمة، أتَيْتُ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، فقلت : يَا رسولَ الله ، إنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَة قَدْ مَاتَ، قَالَ : "قُولِي: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلَهُ، وَأعْقِبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبى حَسَنَةً" فقلتُ ، فَأعْقَبنِي اللهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْهُ : مُحَمَّداً صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم . رواه مسلم هكَذا : "إِذَا حَضَرتُمُ المَريضَ ، أَو المَيِّتَ" ، عَلَى الشَّكِّ ، ورواه أَبُو داود وغيره : "الميت" بلا شَكّ .
