حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: تُرْفَعُ لِلْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ دَرَجَتُهُ. فَيَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أَيُّ شَيْءٍ هَذِهِ؟ فَيُقَالُ: وَلَدُكَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَكَ.

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us. He said: Abu Bakr narrated to us, from 'Asim, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The deceased person's rank is raised after his death. He says: “My Lord, what is this?” It is said: “Your child sought forgiveness for you.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ،
The Arabic includes the chain from Ahmad ibn Yunus through Abu Salih; the witness omits it.
Should the English witness be marked as abridged for this occurrence?
فَيُقَالُ: وَلَدُكَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَكَ.
The Arabic uses the past-tense verb استغفر, while the witness renders it as a general ability or possibility.
Should the English witness's modal rendering be marked as a divergence from the source tense?
