The Reciter: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kuraib narrated to us, saying: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us from al-A'mash from Shaqiq from Umm Salamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 919
The Shaykh : In this is evidence that when a person attends to a deceased person, meaning at the time of his death, and is afflicted by it, meaning he should supplicate for good, because the angels affirm the supplication. Likewise, when attending to a sick person, because the "or" here may indicate doubt or may indicate variety, and the default is the absence of doubt. And her saying: "And replace him for me," the "from" here is of substitution, similar to His saying, the Exalted:[Az-Zukhruf 43:60] "from you": meaning in place of you. It cannot be "from" of partitive or of genus, because if we said it was partitive, its meaning would be that the angels are some of the humans, and likewise if we said it was of genus, its meaning would be that the angels are of the genus of humans. And thus, "from" here is of substitution, meaning in place of you.
Whenever you visit the sick or the dead, supplicate for good because angels say" Amen" to whatever you say. She added: When Abu Salama died, I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, Abu Salama has died. He told me to recite:" O Allah! forgive me and him (Abu Salama) and give me a better substitute than he." So I said (this), and Allah gave me in exchange Muhammad, who is better for me than him (Abu Salama).
إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَرِيضَ، أَوِ الْمَيِّتَ، فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ قَدْ مَاتَ، قَالَ: قُولِي: اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلَهُ، وَأَعْقِبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبَى حَسَنَةً ، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ، فَأَعْقَبَنِي اللهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْهُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَThe Shaykh : In this is evidence that when a person attends to a deceased person, meaning at the time of his death, and is afflicted by it, meaning he should supplicate for good, because the angels affirm the supplication.
