أَخْبَرَنَا ) مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
" إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَيِّتَ أَوِ الْمَرِيضَ فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ ". فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ: " قُولِي: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ وَأَعْقِبْنَا مِنْهُ عُقْبَى صَالِحَةً ". فَقُلْتُهَا فَأَعْقَبَنِي اللهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ

"When you are present with the dying person or the sick, say what is good, for the angels say 'Amen' to what you say." When Abū Salamah died, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what should I say?" He said: "Say: O Allah, forgive us and him, and grant us in exchange for him a good outcome." So I said it, and Allah gave me in exchange Muḥammad ﷺ.
