Full Hadith

Umm Salama reported:The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon came to Abu Salama (as he died). His eyes were fixedly open. He closed them, and then said: When the soul is taken away the sight follows it. Some of the people of his family wept and wailed. So he said: Do not supplicate for yourselves anything but good, for angels say" Amen" to what you say.

ٱللَّهُمَّ ٱغْفِرْ لَهُ وَٱرْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَٱعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَٱغْسِلْهُ بِٱلْمَآءِ وَٱلثَّلْجِ وَٱلْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ ٱلْخَطَٰيَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ ٱلثَّوْبَ ٱلْأَبْيَضَ مِنَ ٱلدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِّن دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِّن زَوْجِهِ وَأَدْخِلْهُ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْقَبْرِ أَوْ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلنَّارِ

O Allah! forgive him, have mercy upon him, give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious; wash him with water, snow and hail. Cleanse him from faults as Thou wouldst cleanse a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate. Admit him to the Garden, and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.
