"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever sends salah upon me once, Allah (SWT) will send salah upon him tenfold, and will erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1297)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ عَشْرَ خَطِيئَاتٍ»
ذِكْرُ كِتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْحَسَنَاتِ لِمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى صَفِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever sends blessings upon me once, ten good deeds will be written for him."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً كُتِبَ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ»
ذِكْرُ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَى الْمُصَلِّي عَلَى صَفِيِّهِ ﷺ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً بِمَغْفِرَتِهِ عَشْرِ مِرَارٍ
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever sends salah upon me once, Allah (SWT) will send salah upon him tenfold." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1296)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا»
ذِكْرُ رَجَاءِ دُخُولِ الْجِنَانِ الْمُصَلِّي عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِهِ مَعَ خَوْفِ دُخُولِ النِّيرَانِ عِنْدَ إِغْضَائِهِ عَنْهُ كُلَّمَا ذَكَرَهُ
[Machine] "The Prophet (PBUH) ascended the pulpit and said, 'Ameen, Ameen, Ameen.' It was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, when you ascended the pulpit, you said 'Ameen, Ameen, Ameen.' He said, 'Gabriel came to me and said, 'Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and does not have his sins forgiven, and therefore enters Hell, then may Allah distance him. Say ameen.' So, I said 'ameen.' Then Gabriel said, 'Whoever's parents or one of them reaches old age and they do not earn Paradise by being dutiful towards them, then may Allah distance him. Say ameen.' So, I said 'ameen.' Then Gabriel said, 'Whoever hears your name mentioned and does not send blessings upon you, then may Allah distance him. Say ameen.' So, I said 'ameen."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ «آمِينَ آمِينَ آمِينَ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ حِينَ صَعِدْتَ الْمِنْبَرَ قُلْتَ آمِينَ آمِينَ آمِينَ قَالَ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَلَمْ يُغْفَرْ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ قُلْ آمِينَ فَقُلْتُ آمِينَ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ أَبَوَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدَهُمَا فَلَمْ يَبَرَّهُمَا فَمَاتَ فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ قُلْ آمِينَ فَقُلْتُ آمِينَ وَمَنْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْكَ فَمَاتَ فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ قُلْ آمِينَ فَقُلْتُ آمِينَ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِمَعْنَى مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Cursed is the one in whose presence I am mentioned and does not send blessings upon me. Cursed is the one who reaches old age while his parents are alive and they (the parents) do not make him enter Paradise. Cursed is the one who enters the month of Ramadan and then departs from it without being forgiven."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ أَبَوَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْكِبَرِ فَلَمْ يُدْخِلَاهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَرَغِمَ أَنْفُ رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ انْسَلَخَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَهُ»
ذِكْرُ نَفْيِ الْبُخْلِ عَنِ الْمُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The stingy person is the one in whose presence I am mentioned, but he does not send blessings upon me."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْبَخِيلَ مَنْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ صَلَاةَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ فِي قَبْرِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made, so invoke more blessings on me that day, for your blessings will be submitted to me. The people asked: Messenger of Allah, how can it be that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied: Allah, the Exalted, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1047)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ أَيَّامِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَفِيهِ قُبِضَ وَفِيهِ النَّفْخَةُ وَفِيهِ الصَّعْقَةُ فَأَكْثِرُوا عَلَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعْرُوضَةٌ عَلَيَّ» قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ تُعْرَضُ صَلَاتُنَا عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ أَرَمْتَ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَامَنَا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ أَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ صَلَاةً عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا
Messenger of Allah said: "The person closest to me on the Day of Judgement is the one who sent the most Salat upon me." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 484)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً»
ذِكْرُ الْأَخْبَارِ الْمُفَسِّرَةِ لِقَوْلِهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا}
"Ka'b bin Ujrah said to me: 'Shall I not give you a gift?' We said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we know about sending salams upon you, but how should we send salah upon you?" He said: 'Say: Alahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala ali Muhammad, kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima wa barik 'ala Muhammad kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrahim fil-'alamin, innaka hamidun majid (O Allah, send salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent salah upon the family of Ibrahim, and send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim among the nations. You are indeed Worthy of praise, Full of glory.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1289)
لِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ أَلَا أُهْدِي لَكَ هَدِيَّةً؟ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا كَيْفَ نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ «قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ؛ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ»
ذِكْرُ كِتْبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْحَسَنَاتِ لِمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى صَفِيِّهِ ﷺ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah will write for him ten good deeds."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ سَلَامَ الْمُسَلِّمِ عَلَى الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ يَبْلُغُ إِيَّاهُ ذَلِكَ فِي قَبْرِهِ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah (SWT) has angels who travel around on Earth conveying to me the Salams of my Ummah.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1282)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّاحِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يُبَلِّغُونِي عَنْ أُمَّتِي السَّلَامَ»
ذِكْرُ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَى الْمُسَلِّمِ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً بِأَمْنِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and he was happy, and he said, "Verily, the angel came to me and said, 'O Muhammad, indeed Allah says, 'Would you be pleased if no servant of mine prays upon you except that I pray upon him tenfold, and no one sends salutations upon you except that I send salutations upon him tenfold?' I said, 'Indeed yes, O Lord!'"
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَسْرُورٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمَلَكَ جَاءَنِي فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي صَلَاةً إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْرًا وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ تَسْلِيمَةً إِلَّا سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْرًا؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى أَيْ رَبِّ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ ضِدَّ قَوْلِ مَنْ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَطْ
[Machine] From Nu'baih al-Anzi, from Jabir, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, and then my wife called him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray for me and my husband." He ﷺ said, "May Allah bless you and your husband."
عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَادَتْهُ امْرَأَتِي فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى زَوْجِي فَقَالَ «صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى زَوْجِكِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ لَا تَجُوزُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَآلِهِ
[Machine] I heard the son of Abu Awfa say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when the people of his household gave him charity, would pray for them. So my father gave him charity and he said, "O Allah, send blessings upon the family of Abu Awfa."
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَصَدَّقَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ بِصَدَقَةٍ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ أَبِي إِلَيْهِ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لِأَحَدٍ بِلَفْظِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا لِآلِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ
A woman said to the Prophet ﷺ: Invoke blessing on me as well as on my husband. The Prophet ﷺ said: May Allah send blessing on you and your husband. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1533)
عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى زَوْجِي فَقَالَ ﷺ «صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى زَوْجِكِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ وَالِاسْتِغْفَارِ فِي ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "When half of the night or two-thirds of it passes, Allah, the Most High and Exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Who is there to ask of Me, so I may give him? Who is there to call upon Me, so I may answer him? Who is there to seek sustenance from Me, so I may provide for him? Who is there to seek forgiveness from Me, so I may forgive him?' This continues until dawn breaks."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا مَضَى شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَرْزِقُنِي أَرْزُقُهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرُ لَهُ؟ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ رَجَاءَ الْمَرْءِ اسْتِحْبَابَهُ الدُّعَاءِ فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ سُنَّتِهِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Our Lord who is blessed and exalted descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last one-third of the night remains, and says: Who supplicated Me so that I may answer him ? Who asks of Me so that I may give to him ? Who asks My forgiveness so that I may forgive him ? (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1315)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا جَلَّ وَعَلَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرُ لَهُ؟ »
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوْهَمَ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْكِمْ صِنَاعَةَ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ يُضَادُّ الْخَبَرَيْنِ الْأَوَّلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ ذَكَرْنَاهُمَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah delays until the first third of the night passes, then our Lord, blessed and exalted, descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so that I may forgive them? Is there any repentant, so that I may accept their repentance? Is there any seeker, so that I may grant them? Is there any supplicant, so that I may answer their supplication?' This continues until dawn breaks."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ نَزَلَ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ؟ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَشْيَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّتِي إِذَا دَعَا الْمَرْءُ رَبَّهُ بِهَا أُعْطِيَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ
[Machine] "Jibril (Gabriel) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Indeed, Allah commands you to invoke Him with these words, for I will give you one of them.' The Prophet said, 'O Allah, I ask You for the expediting of Your healing, or patience upon Your affliction, or a departure from this world to Your mercy.'"
«أَتَى جِبْرِيلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَإِنِّي مُعْطِيكَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَعْجِيلَ عَافِيَتِكَ أَوْ صَبْرًا عَلَى بَلِيَّتِكَ أَوْ خُرُوجًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلَاثًا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked to supplicate three times and to ask pardon (of Allah) three times. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1524)
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ ثَلَاثًا وَيَسْتَغْفِرَ ثَلَاثًا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الْعَدَدَ الْمَذْكُورَ بِاسْتِغْفَارِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِعَدَدٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ
his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allah (saas) said: 'I seek the forgivenenss of Allah and repent to Him seventy times each day.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3816)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَتُوبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الْعَدَدَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِعَدَدٍ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ عَلَيْهِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ
the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: 'I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him one hundred times each day.' (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3815)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الْعَدَدَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ يَقْتَصِرُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لَا يَزِيدَ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] I was a man who used to insult my family, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I fear that my tongue will lead me to Hell." He ﷺ said, "Then where are you from seeking forgiveness? I seek forgiveness from Allah one hundred times a day."
كُنْتُ رَجُلًا ذَرِبَ اللِّسَانِ عَلَى أَهْلِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَنِي لِسَانِي النَّارَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ؟ إِنِّي لَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ ﷺ بِالْعَدَدِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ
We counted that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say a hundred times during a meeting: "My Lord, forgive me and pardon me; Thou art the Pardoning and forgiving One". (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1516)
رُبَّمَا أَعُدُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ الْوَاحِدِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ «رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ»
ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ الِاقْتِصَارِ عَلَى دُونِ مَا وَصَفْنَا مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ
[Machine] I have never seen anyone say "I seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him" more than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .
مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَكْثَرَ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلْمَرْءِ عَمَّا ارْتَكَبَهُ مِنَ الْحَوْبَاتِ
[Machine] He narrates that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "O people, repent to your Lord, for I repent to Him one hundred times every day."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ تَعْقِيبِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ كُلَّ عَثْرَةٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَرْءُ مُشَمِّرًا فِي أَنْوَاعِ الطَّاعَاتِ
the Messenger of Allah said: “Verily, when the slave (of Allah) commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. When he refrains from it, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it increases until it covers his entire heart. And that is the ‘Ran’ which Allah mentioned: ‘Nay, but on their hearts is the Ran which they used to earn.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3334)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئَةً نُكِتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَتَابَ صُقِلَتْ فَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا فَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ}»
ذِكْرُ لَفْظٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ مَعْنَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ لَمْ يُحْكِمُوا صِنَاعَةَ الْعِلْمِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: My heart is invaded by unmindfulness, and I ask Allah's pardon a hundred times in the day. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1515)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ»
ذِكْرُ سَيِّدِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُ الْمَرْءُ رَبَّهُ لِمَا قَارَفَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ
The Prophet [SAW] said: "The best of prayers for forgiveness is for a person to say: 'Allahumma, anta rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, abuw'u laka bidhanbi, wa abuw'u laka bini'matika 'alayya faghfirli, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa anta (O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You. You have created me and I am Your slave and I am keeping my promise and covenant to You as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I do. I acknowledge Your blessing and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for there is none who can forgive sin except You.)' If he says this in the morning, believing in it firmly, and dies on that day before evening comes, he will enter Paradise, and if he says it in the evening, believing firmly in it, and dies before morning comes, he will enter Paradise." Al-Walid bin Tha'labah contradicted him. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5522)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَيِّدُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْعَبْدُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ أَصْبَحْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ»
ذِكْرُ سَيِّدِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ قَائِلُهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى يَقِينٍ مِنْهُ

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ حِفْظَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِيَّاهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فِي أَحْوَالِهِ
[Machine] Omar ibn Al-Khattab experienced a tragedy, so he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and complained to him about it. He asked him to order for him a share of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "If you wish, I can order for you a share of dates, or if you wish, I can teach you some words that will be better for you?" He said, "Teach me the words and get me the share of dates, for I am in need of it." So he said, "Say, 'O Allah, protect me in Islam while sitting, protect me in Islam while standing, protect me in Islam while lying down, and do not grant my enemy, who envies me, power over me. And I seek refuge in You from the evil that You hold control over us, and I ask You for all good that is in Your hands.'"
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ لَهُ بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ شِئْتَ أَمَرْتُ لَكَ بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ عَلَّمْتُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ هِيَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ؟ » قَالَ عَلِّمْنِيهُنَّ وَمُرْ لِي بِوَسْقٍ فَإِنِّي ذُو حَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ قَاعِدًا وَاحْفَظْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ قَائِمًا وَاحْفَظْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ رَاقِدًا وَلَا تُطِعْ فِيَّ عَدُوًّا حَاسِدًا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي هُوَ بِيَدِكَ كُلِّهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِاكْتِنَازِ سُؤَالِ الْمَرْءِ رَبَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الثَّبَاتَ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ عِنْدَ اكْتِنَازِ النَّاسِ الدَّنَانِيرَ وَالدَّرَاهِمَ
[Machine] Bring me the platter so that we may play with it, but the people kept it away from me. So, he said, "O my nephew, do not keep it away from me, but keep from me what I have heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him: 'When people hoard silver and gold coins, hoard these words: O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in affairs, determination in righteousness. And I ask You for gratitude for Your blessings and excellence in worship. And I ask You for the best of what You know. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know. And I seek Your forgiveness for what You know. Indeed, You are the All-Knower of the unseen.'"
ائْتُونِي بِالسُّفْرَةِ نَعْبَثْ بِهَا فَكَانَ الْقَوْمُ يَحْفَظُونَهَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي أَخِي لَا تَحْفَظُوهَا عَنِّي وَلَكِنِ احْفَظُوا مِنِّي مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا اكْتَنَزَ النَّاسُ الدَّنَانِيرَ وَالدَّرَاهِمَ فَاكْتَنِزُوا هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ»

Did you supplicate for anything or beg of Him about that? He said: Yes. I used to utter (these words): Impose punishment upon me earlier in this world, what Thou art going to impose upon me in the Hereafter. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Hallowed be Allah, you have neither the power nor forbearance to take upon yourself (the burden of His Punishment). Why did you not say this: O Allah, grant us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of Fire. He (the Holy Prophet) made this supplication (for him) and he was all right. (Using translation from Muslim 2688a)
عَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا قَدْ صَارَ مِثْلَ الْفَرْخِ فَقَالَ «مَا كُنْتَ تَدْعُو بِشَيْءٍ أَوْ تَسْأَلُ؟ » قَالَ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبَنِي بِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَعَجِّلْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُهُ أَوْ لَا تُطِيقُهُ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ»

" Our Lord, grant us the good in this world and the good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell Fire." (Using translation from Muslim 2690b)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ «اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الدُّعَاءَ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَاهُ كَانَ مِنْ أَكْثَرِ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ ﷺ فِي أَحْوَالِهِ
They said to Anas b. Malik: "Pray to Allah for us." He said: "O Allah, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." They said: "Increase for us." So he repeated it. They said: "Increase for us." So he repeated it. They said: "Increase for us." He said: "What do you want? I asked for you the best of this world and the Hereafter."
أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ قَالُوا زِدْنَا فَأَعَادَهَا؛ قَالُوا زِدْنَا فَأَعَادَهَا؛ فَقَالُوا زِدْنَا فَقَالَ مَا تُرِيدُونَ؟ سَأَلْتُ لَكُمْ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ»

[Machine] Tell me about a supplication that the Prophet ﷺ used to make. He said, "O Allah, grant us goodness in this worldly life and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." So, I met Isma'il and asked him, and he said, "The most frequent supplication he used to make was, 'Our Lord, grant us goodness in this worldly life and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.'"
أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ دُعَاءٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ» فَلَقِيتُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَكْثَرُ دَعْوَةٍ يَدْعُو بِهَا «رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَزِيدَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ الَّذِي وَصَفْنَاهُ الْإِقْرَارَ بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
[Machine] Qatadah asked Anas, "What is the most common supplication that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to make?" He replied, "The most common supplication the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to make is, 'O Allah, our Lord, grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.'"
سَأَلَ قَتَادَةُ أَنَسًا أَيُّ دَعْوَةٍ أَكْثَرُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَكْثَرُ دَعْوَةٍ يَدْعُو بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَرْءَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْعُو بِضِدِّ مَا وَصَفْنَا مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ
Did you supplicate for anything or beg of Him about that? He said: Yes. I used to utter (these words): Impose punishment upon me earlier in this world, what Thou art going to impose upon me in the Hereafter.

عَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا قَدْ جَهِدَ حَتَّى صَارَ مِثْلَ الْفَرْخِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «هَلْ كُنْتَ دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ بِشَيْءٍ؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبِي بِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَعَجِّلْهُ لِي فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَا تَسْتَطِيعُهُ أَوْ لَا تُطِيقُهُ فَهَلَّا قُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ؟ » قَالَ فَدَعَا اللَّهُ فَشَفَاهُ

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me a saying that I will not ask anyone else about after you." He said, "Say: 'I believed in Allah and then I remained steadfast.'"
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْ لِي قَوْلًا لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا بَعْدَكَ قَالَ «قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنَ التَّمَلُّقِ إِلَى الْبَارِي فِي ثَبَاتِ قَلْبِهِ لَهُ عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ مِنْ طَاعَتِهِ
"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'There is no heart that is not between two of the Fingers of the Most Merciful. If He wills, He guides it and if He wills, He sends it astray.' The Messenger of Allah used to say: 'O You Who makes hearts steadfast make our hearts steadfast in adhering to Your religion.' And he said: 'The Scale is in the Hand of the Most Merciful; He will cause some peoples to rise and others to fall until the day of Resurrection.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 199)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ قَلْبٍ إِلَّا بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَقَامَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَزَاغَهُ» قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى دِينِكَ» قَالَ «وَالْمِيزَانُ بِيَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَرْفَعُ قَوْمًا وَيَخْفِضُ آخَرِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَلْفَاظَ مِنْ هَذَا النَّوْعِ أُطْلِقَتْ بِأَلْفَاظِ التَّمْثِيلِ وَالتَّشْبِيهِ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا يَتَعَارَفُهُ النَّاسُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ دُونَ الْحُكْمِ عَلَى ظَوَاهِرِهَا
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Allah, the Most High, will say to the servant on the Day of Resurrection, 'O son of Adam, I fell ill and you did not visit Me.' The servant will say, 'O Lord, how can I visit You when You are the Lord of all the worlds?' Allah will say, 'Did you not know that My servant so-and-so fell ill and you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him?'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلْعَبْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي

[Machine] I asked Hassan ibn Ali, "What do you remember from the Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I remember that I took a date from the charity dates and put it in my mouth. Then he snatched it from me with his saliva and threw it back into the dates. He used to teach us this supplication: 'O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, grant me wellness among those whom You have granted wellness, take care of me among those whom You have taken care of, bless for me what You have given me, and protect me from the evil of what You have ordained. Surely, You decide and no one can decide against You. Surely, the one whom You support shall never be humiliated.'" Shu'bah said, "And I think he said, 'You are blessed and exalted.'"
قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَذْكُرُ أَنِّي أَخَذْتُ تَمْرَةً مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلْتُهَا فِي فِيَّ فَانْتَزَعَهَا بِلُعَابِهَا فَطَرَحَهَا فِي التَّمْرِ وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ «اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ «تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِسُؤَالِ الْعَبْدِ رَبَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَالرَّحْمَةَ وَالْهِدَايَةَ وَالرِّزْقَ
Teach me the words which I should (often) utter. He said: Utter," There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Allah is the Greatest of the great and all praise is due to Him. Hallowed be Allah, the Lord of the worlds, there is no Might and Power but that of Allah, the All-Powerful and the Wise." He (that desert Arab) said: These all (glorify) my Lord. But what about me? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: You should say:" O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to righteousness and provide me sustenance." Musa (one of the narrators) said: I think he also said:" Grant me safety." But I cannot say for certain whether he said this or not. Ibn Abi Shaiba has not made a mention of the words of Musa in his narration. (Using translation from Muslim 2696)
جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي كَلَامًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ «قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ» قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ سُؤَالُ الرَّبِّ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْمَعُونَةَ وَالنَّصْرَ وَالْهِدَايَةَ
The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate Allah: "My Lord, help me and do not give help against me; grant me victory, and do not grant victory over me; plan on my behalf and do not plan against me; guide me, and made my right guidance easy for me; grant me victory over those who act wrongfully towards me; O Allah, make me grateful to Thee, mindful of Thee, full of fear towards Thee, devoted to Thy obedience, humble before Thee, or penitent. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash away my sin, answer my supplication, clearly establish my evidence, guide my heart, make true my tongue and draw out malice in my breast." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1510)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ وَانْصُرْنِي وَلَا تَنَصُرْ عَلَيَّ وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرِ الْهُدَى لِي وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَاكِرًا لَكَ ذَاكِرًا لَكَ أَوَّاهًا لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا لَكَ مُخْبِتًا أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِي»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

(Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1510)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ وَانْصُرْنِي وَلَا تَنَصُرْ عَلَيَّ وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرْ لِيَ الْهُدَى وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا لَكَ ذَكَّارًا لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا إِلَيْكَ مُخْبِتًا لَكَ أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا رَبِّ اقْبَلْ تَوْبَتِي وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِي»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْعَافِيَةَ فِي أُمُورِهِ كُلِّهَا
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "O Allah, improve our well-being in all matters and save us from the humiliation of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عَافِيَتَنَا فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِسُؤَالِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْعَافِيَةَ، إِذْ هِيَ خَيْرُ مَا يُعْطَى الْمَرْءُ بَعْدَ التَّوْحِيدِ
I heard Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq on this minbar saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this day last year-then Abu Bakr wept, then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ʿYou will not be given anything, after the word of sincerity (i.e., the Shahadah), like well-being, so ask Allah for well-being.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 10)
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ عَامَ أَوَّلٍ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ اسْتَعْبَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَنْ تُؤْتَوْا شَيْئًا بَعْدَ كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ مِثْلَ الْعَافِيَةِ فَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِتَقْرِينِ الْعَفْوِ إِلَى الْعَافِيَةِ عِنْدَ سُؤَالِهِ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِمَنْ سَأَلَهَا
[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do I ask Allah for?" He said, "Ask Allah for forgiveness and well-being." Then he said, "What do I ask Allah for?" He said, "Ask Allah for forgiveness and well-being."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ؟ قَالَ «سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ؟ قَالَ «سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِسُؤَالِ الْعَبْدِ رَبَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْيَقِينَ بَعْدَ الْمُعَافَاةِ
I came to Madinah one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I found Abu Bakr addressing the people. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood before us last year... and he wept and struggled to speak three times, then he said: 0 people, ask Allah for well-being for no one is given, after certainty of faith, anything like well being and nothing worse than doubt after disbelief. You should be truthful, for it guides to righteousness and they lead to Paradise. Beware of lying, for it guides to immorality and they both lead to Hell. (Using translation from Aḥmad 44)
قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ أَوَّلٍ فَخَنَقَتْهُ الْعَبْرَةُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ الْيَقِينِ بَعْدَ الْمُعَافَاةِ وَلَا أَشَدَّ مِنَ الرِّيبَةِ بَعْدَ الْكُفْرِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ» أَرَادَ بِهِ مُرْتَكِبَهُمَا لَا نَفْسَهُمَا
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ ...
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Gabriel performed ruqyah on him while he was ill, and he said, 'In the name of Allah, I perform ruqyah on you from every sickness that harms you, from every envier when he envies you, and from every evil eye. And may Allah cure you.'"
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ رَقَاهُ وَهُوَ يُوعَكُ فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ يُؤْذِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ وَاسْمُ (*) وَاللَّهُ يَشْفِيكَ»
