Context
We relate in the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd that Abū Hurayrah
reported that the Messenger of Allah
said in the funeral ṣalāh [over a dead woman]: “O Allah, You are her Lord and You created her, You guided her to Islam, You took away her soul, and You know her secrets and what is known about her. We have come as intercessors, so forgive her.” [5].
