٦۔٦ باب مَا جَاءَ فِي تَغْمِيضِ الْمَيِّتِ

ibnmajah:1454Ismāʿīl b. Asad > Muʿāwiyah b. ʿAmr > Abū Isḥāq al-Fazārī > Khālid al-Ḥadhhāʾ > Abū Qilābah > Qabīṣah b. Dhuʾayb > Um Salamah

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Abu Salamah (after he had died), and his eyes were wide open. He closed his eyes, then he said: ‘When the soul is taken, the sight follows it.’”  

ابن ماجة:١٤٥٤حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ شَقَّ بَصَرُهُ فَأَغْمَضَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الرُّوحَ إِذَا قُبِضَ تَبِعَهُ الْبَصَرُ  

ibnmajah:1455Abū Dāwud Sulaymān b. Tawbah > ʿĀṣim b. ʿAlī > Qazaʿah b. Sūwayd > Ḥumayd al-Aʿraj > al-Zuhrī > Maḥmūd b. Labīd > Shaddād b. Aws

“When you come to your dead ones, close their eyes, for the sight follows the soul. And say good things, for the Angels say Amin to what the members of the household say.”  

ابن ماجة:١٤٥٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا قَزَعَةُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا حَضَرْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ فَأَغْمِضُوا الْبَصَرَ فَإِنَّ الْبَصَرَ يَتْبَعُ الرُّوحَ وَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ
