Sayings (Hadiths) of Prophet Muhammad

About the permitted speech after closing the deceased's eyes

1-Narrated Um Salama : Allah’s Messenger entered to see Abu-Salama after he had died, and his eyes were fixedly open. So he shut them and said:"when the soul is taken, the sight follows it." Some of his family wept and wailed, the Messenger of Allah said,"do not supplicate for yourselves anything but good, for the angels say Amen to whatever you say." He then said:"o Allah! Forgive Abu-Salama, raise his degree among those who are rightly guided, and grant him a succession in his descendants who remain, make his grave spacious for him and grant him light in it. "
