وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ - رضى الله عنه - وَقَدْ شُقَّ بَصَرُهُ 1 فَأَغْمَضَهُ, ثُمَّ قَالَ: "إِنَّ اَلرُّوحَ إِذَا قُبِضَ, اتَّبَعَهُ الْبَصَرُ" فَضَجَّ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ, فَقَالَ: "لَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ. فَإِنَّ اَلْمَلَائِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: "اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ, وَارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ فِي اَلْمَهْدِيِّينَ, وَافْسِحْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ, وَنَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ, وَاخْلُفْهُ فِي عَقِبِهِ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ 2 .1 - قال النووي (5/476-477): "بفتح الشين، ورفع بصره، وهو فاعل شق، هكذا ضبطناه وهو المشهور، وضبط بعضهم بصره بالنصب وهو صحيح أيضا، والشين مفتوحة بلا خلاف.. وهو الذي حضره الموت، وصار ينظر إلى الشيء لا يرتد إليه طرفه".2 - صحيح. رواه مسلم (920).
Umm Salamah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Abu Salamah while his gaze was fixed in death, and closed his eyes. He said: “When the soul is taken, the sight follows it.” Some of his family cried out, so he said: “Do not invoke anything against yourselves except good, for the angels say amen to what you say.” Then he said: “O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, raise his rank among the rightly guided, make his grave spacious, and illuminate it for him. Take care of those he leaves behind.” Muslim (920); authentic. Al-Nawawi explained that the phrase means he was near death and his eyes were fixed on something, his gaze not returning.
