حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَزَعَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي، ، حُمَيْدٌ الْأَعْرَجُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا حَضَرْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ، فَأَغْمِضُوا الْبَصَرَ، فَإِنَّ الْبَصَرَ يَتْبَعُ الرُّوحَ، وَقُولُوا خَيْرًا: فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَمَّنُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ أَهْلُ الْمَيِّتِ (١) " (٢)،

It is narrated from Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When you go to your dead, close their eyes, for the eyes follow the soul (that is why they remain open), and speak good words, for whatever the family of the deceased says, the angels say Ameen to it."
