Anas b. Malik was told that your brothers have come to you from Basra –and that day he was at the zawiyyah– wanting for you to make dua to Allah for them. He said:
O Allah, forgive them and show mercy to them. Give them good in this world and good in the Next World and protect them from the punishment of the Fire.
They asked him to say more and he said repeated the same thing. He said: If you are given this, you have been given the good of this world and the next.
قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكَ أَتَوْكَ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالزَّاوِيَةِ لِتَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ قَالَ:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَآتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
فَاسْتَزَادُوهُ فَقَالَ مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هَذَا فَقَدْ أُوتِيتُمْ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ
