14. Book of Supplications (Duʿāʾ), and Rememberence and Glorification of Allah (5/5)
١٤۔ كِتَابُ الدُّعَاءِ، وَالتَّكْبِيرِ، وَالتَّهْلِيلِ، وَالتَّسْبِيحِ وَالذِّكْرِ ص ٥
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever says, when he goes to his bed, 'Alhamdulillahil-ladhi kafaani wa aawani, Alhamdulillahil-ladhi at'amani wa saqaani, Alhamdulillahil-ladhi mann 'alayya fa afdala. Allahumma inni as-aluka bi'izzatika an tunajjiyani min an-naar, faqad hamidallaha bijami'i mahamidil-khalqi kullihim,' it will be a source of thanksgiving to Allah for all the praises of creation."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَفَانِي وَآوَانِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعِمْنِي وَسَقَانِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَفْضَلَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَدْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِجَمِيعِ مَحَامِدِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمْ «»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you goes to his bed, let him say: 'O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, our Lord and Lord of all things, You are the One who takes hold of him by his forelock. You are the First, and there is nothing before You. You are the Last, and there is nothing after You. You are the Manifest, and there is nothing above You. Make us self-sufficient from poverty and relieve us from debt.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فِرَاشَهُ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ أَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَاقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ»
[Machine] A man from the Ansar, from the people of Qubaa, of the prophet ﷺ issued an invitation. So we went with him, when he finished eating and washed his hands (or said his hand), he said, "Praise be to Allah who feeds us and is not fed by us. He has guided us, nourished us, and given us drink. Every excellent trial has been a source of good for us. Praise be to Allah who is neither leaving, nor requiring compensation, nor is in need of us. Praise be to Allah who has given us food to eat, drink to quench our thirst, clothed us, guided us when we were astray, restored our sight when we were blind, and has favored us over many of those He has created. Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds."
دَعَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَهْلِ قُبَاءَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا طَعِمَ وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ أَوْ قَالَ يَدَهُ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُطْعِمُ وَلَا يُطْعَمُ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا فَهَدَانَا وَأَطْعَمْنَا وَسَقَانَا وَكُلَّ بَلَاءٍ حَسَنٍ أَبْلَانَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُكَافَئٍ وَلَا مَكْفُورٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَسَقَى مِنَ الشَّرَابِ وَكَسَا مِنَ الْعُرْيِ وَهَدَى مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَبَصَّرَ مِنَ الْعَمَايَةِ وَفَضَّلَ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: When the caller calls for prayer, the gates of heaven are opened and the supplication is answered. So, whoever is inflicted with distress or hardship, let them be cautious of the caller. And when he says: "Allahu Akbar", say: "Allahu Akbar", and when he says: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah", say: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah", and when he says: "Hayya 'ala as-Salah", say: "Hayya 'ala as-Salah", and when he says: "Hayya 'ala al-Falah", say: "Hayya 'ala al-Falah". Then, say: "Allahumma rabba hadhihid da'watit-tammati, salatiqa al-mustajabati, mustajabatan laha, da'wati al-haqi, wa kalimati at-taqwa, ahina 'alayha wa amitna 'alayha, wa ab'athna 'alayha, waj'alna min khayri ahliha ahyaa wa amwatan". Then, ask Allah for your need.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا نَادَى الْمُنَادِي فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَاسْتُجِيبَ الدُّعَاءُ فَمَنْ نَزَلَ بِهِ كَرْبٌ أَوْ شِدَّةٌ فَلْيَتَحَيَّنِ الْمُنَادِي فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ كَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا تَشَهَّدَ تَشَهَّدُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا قَالَ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ قَالَ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ الصَّادِقَةِ الْمُسْتَجَابَةِ الْمُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا دَعْوَةِ الْحَقِّ وَكَلِمَةِ التَّقْوَى أَحْيِنَا عَلَيْهَا وَأَمِتْنَا عَلَيْهَا وَابْعَثْنَا عَلَيْهَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مِنْ خِيَارِ أَهْلِهَا أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَهُ «»
[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ holding the Tasbih (prayer beads). This was narrated by Al-A'mash from Ataa ibn As-Sa'ib.
«رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَعْقِدُ التَّسْبِيحَ» رَوَاهُ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ
[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ holding the beads for reciting tasbih.
«رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَعْقِدُ التَّسْبِيحَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adhere to glorification, exaltation, and sanctification, and do not be neglectful so as to forget the oneness of Allah. Cling to your fingers, for they will be questioned and will speak."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَيْكُنَّ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ وَالتَّهْلِيلِ وَالتَّقْدِيسِ وَلَا تَغْفُلْنَ فَتَنْسَيْنَ التَّوْحِيدَ وَاعْقِدْنَ بِالْأَنَامِلِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مَسْئُولَاتٍ وَمُسْتَنْطَقَاتٍ»
[Machine] The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to me and there were four thousand date pits in front of me. I was using them to make tasbeeh (to glorify Allah). He said, "O daughter of Huwayy! What is this?" I said, "I am making tasbeeh with them." He said, "I have been making tasbeeh since I ascended to your head more than this." I said, "Teach me, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Say, 'Subhanallah' (Glory be to Allah) the number of all the things He created."
دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ نَوَاةٍ أُسَبِّحُ بِهِنَّ فَقَالَ «يَا بِنْتَ حُيَيٍّ مَا هَذَا؟» قُلْتُ أُسَبِّحُ بِهِنَّ قَالَ «قَدْ سَبَّحْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ عَلَى رَأْسِكِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا» قُلْتُ عَلِّمْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «قُولِي سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ»
Once Sa'd, with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, visited a woman in front of whom were some date-stones or pebbles which she was using as a rosary to glorify Allah. He (the Prophet) said: I tell you something which would be easier (or more excellent) for you than that. He said (it consisted of saying): "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created in Heaven; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created on Earth; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created between them; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He is creating; "Allah is most great" a similar number of times; "Praise (be to Allah)" a similar number of times; and "There is no god but Allah" a similar number of times; "There is no might and no power except in Allah" a similar number of times. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1500)
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا نَوًى أَوْ حَصًى أُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا هُوَ أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَفْضَلُ؟ قُولِي سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي السَّمَاءِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تُسَبِّحُ فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا هُوَ خَالِقٌ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanding with these words of alarm, "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger, His punishment, the evil deeds of His servants, and the whispers of devils, and that they come near." Abdullah bin Umar and those who reached from his children taught them to him, so he recited them in front of his people. And whoever did not reach from them, he wrote them and hung them around his neck.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ «أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَمِنْ عِقَابِهِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونَ» قَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَمَنْ بَلَغَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ عَلَّمَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَهُنَّ عِنْدَ قَوْمِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِنْهُمْ كَتَبَهَا فَعَلَّقَهَا فِي عُنُقِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you goes to his bed, an angel and a devil come to him. The devil makes him open his mouth with evil, while the angel makes him open his mouth with good. If he remembers Allah, the devil goes away and the angel stays with him. When he wakes up, an angel and a devil come to him. The devil makes him open his mouth with evil, while the angel makes him open his mouth with good. If he says 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) who restored my soul to me after taking it in sleep, the devil goes away and the angel stays with him. If he gets up and prays, the angel keeps praying for goodness."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ يَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ وَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ ذَهَبَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَيَأْتِي الْمَلَكُ وَيَكْلَؤُهُ وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ يَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ وَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَلَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ فَإِنْ خَرَّ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ مَاتَ شَهِيدًا وَإِنْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى صَلَّى فِي الْفَضَائِلِ «»
[Machine] The translation of the Arabic phrase is: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would lie down in his bed, he would say, 'O Allah, forgive my sins, expel my Shaytan, remove the burden from my heart, make my scale heavy (with good deeds), and place me in the highest assembly.'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَاخْسَأِ شَيْطَانِي وَفُكَّ رِهَانِي وَثَقِّلْ مِيزَانِي وَاجْعَلْنِي فِي الْمَلَأِ الْأَعْلَى»
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "When a person returns from visiting a sick person, let him say, 'O Allah, cure Your servant who has become ill and is in pain. Or, let him walk to You for prayer.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا جَاءَ الرَّجُلُ يَعُودُ مَرِيضًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِ عَبْدَكَ يَنْكَأُ لَكَ عَدُوًّا أَوْ يَمْشِي لَكَ إِلَى صَلَاةٍ «»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited me when I was sick and said, "O Salman, may Allah heal your sickness, forgive your sins, and grant you health and strength until the end of your life."
عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا عَلِيلٌ فَقَالَ «يَا سَلْمَانُ شَفَى اللَّهُ سَقَمَكَ وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ وَعَافَاكَ فِي بَدْنِكَ وَجِسْمِكَ إِلَى مُدَّةِ أَجَلِكَ»
“The stingy person is the one before whom I am mentioned, and he does not send Salat upon me.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3546)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْبَخِيلَ مَنْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe to the person in whose presence I am mentioned and he does not send blessings upon me."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ»
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "No group of people gather together to remember Allah without sending blessings upon their Prophet ﷺ , except that this gathering becomes a source of blessings for them. And no group of people sit together without remembering Allah, except that this sitting becomes a source of regret for them."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ إِلَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً وَلَا قَعَدَ قَوْمٌ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ إِلَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever sends blessings upon me, Allah will send blessings upon him ten times, and will erase ten of his sins."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً ﷺ عَشْرَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ عَشْرَ خَطِيئَاتٍ»
[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I met Jibril (Gabriel) ﷺ who gave me glad tidings and said, 'Verily, your Lord says: Whoever supplicates upon you, I supplicate upon him, and whoever sends peace upon you, I send peace upon him.' So I prostrated in gratitude to Allah."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَبَشَّرَنِي وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَجَدْتُ لِلَّهِ شُكْرًا «»
