ahmad-zuhd:377ʿAbdullāh > Bī > Hāshim > Ṣāliḥ > Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī > Abū al-Jald

[Machine] That the Prophet Dawood ﷺ ordered a caller to call for a congregational prayer, so the people came out, knowing that it would be a day of advice, discipline, and supplication. When he arrived at his place, he said, "O Allah, forgive us," and then he left. The last people facing the first people asked them, "What's wrong with you?" They said, "Indeed, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ only made one supplication, then left." They said, "Glory be to Allah! We were hoping that this day would be a day of worship, supplication, advice, and discipline, but he only made one supplication." They said, "So Allah revealed to him to convey this to his people, for they have surpassed your supplication. Indeed, whoever I forgive, I will rectify his affairs in this world and the hereafter."  

الزهد لأحمد:٣٧٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أبِي أَخْبَرَنَا هَاشِمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا صَالِحٌ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَلْدِ

أَنَّ دَاوُدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ وَهُمْ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَوْعِظَةٌ وَتَأْدِيبٌ وَدُعَاءٌ فَلَمَّا وَافَى مَكَانَهُ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا» وَانْصَرَفَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ آخَرُ النَّاسِ أَوَائِلَهُمْ؛ قَالُوا مَا لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِنَّمَا دَعَا بِدَعْوَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ كُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ يَوْمَ عِبَادَةٍ وَدُعَاءٍ وَمَوْعِظَةٍ وَتَأْدِيبٍ فَمَا دَعَا إِلَّا بِدَعْوَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ قَالُوا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَبْلِغْ عَنِّي قَوْمَكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدِ اسْتَقَلُّوا دُعَاءَكَ إِنِّي مَنْ أَغْفِرْ لَهُ أُصْلِحْ لَهُ أَمْرَ آخِرَتِهِ وَدُنْيَاهُ
