حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلاَ تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over a dead person, he said: O Allah, forgive those of us who are living and those of us who are dead, those of us who are present and those of us who are absent, our young and our old, our male and our female. O Allah, to whomsoever of us Thou givest life grant him life as a believer, and whomsoever of us Thou takest in death take him in death as a follower of Islam. O Allah, do not withhold from us the reward (of faith) and do not lead us astray after his death.

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
وقال ابن أبي حاتم سألت أبي عن حديث يحيى بن أبي كثير عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة فقال الحفاظ لا يذكرون أبا هريرة إنما يقولون أبو سلمة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرسلا ولا يوصله بذكر أبي هريرة إلا غير متقن والصحيح أنه مرسل
machine translationIbn Abī Ḥātim said: I asked my father about the hadith of Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah. He said: The memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) do not mention Abū Hurayrah; they only say "Abū Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ" as a mursal report. None connects it by mentioning Abū Hurayrah except one who is not precise (ghayr mutqin), and the sound view is that it is mursal.
