Hadith #358
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْجُلَاسِ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ سَيَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ شَمَّاخٍ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَرْوَانَ سَأ
َلَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا وَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهَا وَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهَا لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْتَ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَهَا وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِسِرِّهَا وَعَلَانِيَتِهَا جِئْنَا شُفَعَاءَ فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا

'Abd al-Samad narrated to us, my father narrated to me, Abu al-Julas 'Uqbah ibn Sayyar narrated to me who said: 'Ali ibn Shammakh narrated to me who said: I witnessed Marwan asking Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه): What did you hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying over the funeral biers? Abu Hurayrah said: He ﷺ said: 'O Allah, You are its Lord. You created it. You guided it to Islam. You have taken its soul, and You know best its secret and its open deeds. We have come as intercessors, so forgive it.'
