English narration
Narrated by أم سلمة زوج النبي
Narrated Umm Salamah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Abu Salamah, his eyes were fixedly open. So he closed them. The members of his family cried. He said: Do not pray for yourself anything but good, for the angels utter Amin to what you say. He then said: O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, raise his rank among those who are guided, and grant him a succession in his descendants who remain. Forgive both us and him, Lord of the universe. O Allah, make his grave spacious for him, and grant him light in it. Abu Dawud said: The eyes of the deceased should be closed after his expiry. I heard Muhammad bin al-Numan al-Muqri say: I heard a man who was devoted to Allah say: I closed the eyes of Jafar al-Mu'allim when he was dying. He was a man devoted to Allah. I saw him in a dream on the night he died. He said: The biggest thing for me was closing the eyes by you before I died.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، وَقَدْ شَقَّ بَصَرَهُ ، فَأَغْمَضَهُ ، فَصَيَّحَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ : "
لَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ ، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّينَ ، وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي عَقِبِهِ فِي الْغَابِرِينَ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلَهُ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، اللَّهُمَّ افْسَحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ ، وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ
" . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَتَغْمِيضُ الْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ الرُّوحِ ، سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْمُقْرِيَّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَيْسَرَةَ رَجُلًا عَابِدًا ، يَقُولُ : غَمَّضْتُ جَعْفَرًا الْمُعَلِّمَ ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا عَابِدًا فِي حَالَةِ الْمَوْتِ ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَنَامِي لَيْلَةَ مَاتَ ، يَقُولُ : أَعْظَمُ مَا كَانَ عَلَيَّ ، تَغْمِيضُكَ لِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ .
