Umm Salama reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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).
