Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَزَعَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ الْأَعْرَجُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا حَضَرْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ فَأَغْمِضُوا الْبَصَرَ فَإِنَّ الْبَصَرَ يَتْبَعُ الرُّوحَ وَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَمَّنُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ أَهْلُ الْمَيِّتِ.

Hasan ibn Musa narrated to us, he said: Qaza'a narrated to us, he said: Humayd al-A'raj narrated to me, from al-Zuhri, from Mahmud ibn Labid, from Shaddad ibn Aws, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When you are present at the death of your dead, close their eyes, for the sight follows the soul, and say good words, for the angels say Amen to what the family of the deceased say.
