أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَرِيضَ فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ» فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُولِي اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ وَأَعْقِبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبَى حَسَنَةً فَأَعْقَبَهَا مِنْهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ

✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "When you are present with the sick, say good, for the angels say amin." When Abu Salamah died, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what should I say?" He said, "Say: O Allah, forgive us and him, and grant me a good successor after him." So He granted her Muhammad ﷺ as a successor.
