The answer

The Malikis and Hanbalis held the view that one should not say: "Replace her with one better than her husband" when supplicating for a woman during her funeral prayer; this is due to the possibility that she might be his wife in the Hereafter. The Shafi'is, however, permitted it, clarifying that the intended replacement refers to the attributes, not the essences, meaning the replacement of the husband's qualities with better ones.
