Asking Allah for pardon and well-being
[AI] Abu Bakr ᴿᴬ stood among us and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us as I am standing among you today, and he said: "People have not been given anything better than pardon and well-being, so ask Allah for them." This hadith has a fair chain, and we do not know anyone who narrated it with a connected chain except Zaidah from Asim from Abu Salih from Abu Hurairah, and from Zaidah no one except al-Husayn ibn Ali.
قَامَ فِينَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ: قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَقِيَامِي فِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَفْوِ وَالْعَافِيَةِ، فَسَلُوهُمَا اللَّهَ». وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ حَسَنُ الْإِسْنَادِ، وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَسْنَدَهُ إِلَّا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَلَا عَنْ زَائِدَةَ إِلَّا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ.
