ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا التَّآلُفَ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِصْلَاحَ ذَاتِ بَيْنِهِمْ

We did not know what we should say when we sat during prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taught (by Allah). He then narrated the tradition to the same effect. Sharik reported from Jami', from AbuWa'il on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud something similar. He said: He used to teach us also some other words, but he did not teach them as he taught us the tashahhud: O Allah, join our hearts, mend our social relationship, guide us to the path of peace, bring us from darkness to light, save us from obscenities, outward or inward, and bless our ears, our eyes, our hearts, our wives, our children, and relent toward us; Thou art the Relenting, the Merciful. And make us grateful for Thy blessing and make us praise it while accepting it and give it to us in full.  

كُنَّا لاَ نَدْرِي مَا نَقُولُ إِذَا جَلَسْنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ عَلِمَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ شَرِيكٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا جَامِعٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا كَلِمَاتٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُعَلِّمُنَاهُنَّ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ اللَّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلاَمِ وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَابِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا

كُنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَا نَقُولُ إِذَا جَلَسْنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ عَلِمَ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ وَخَوَاتِمَهُ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ التَّشَهُّدَ وَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا كَلِمَاتٍ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَلَّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعَمِكَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا عَلَيْكَ قَابِلِينَ لَهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the following words: "O Allah, reconcile our hearts, unite us, guide us on the path of peace, save us from darkness and guide us towards light, and keep us away from indecency, both apparent and hidden. O Allah, bless our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses, our children, and turn to us in forgiveness. Indeed, You are the Accepter of repentance, the Merciful. Make us grateful for Your blessings and allow us to praise You and complete them for us."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا هَذَا الْكَلَامَ «اللهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا وَأَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ لَنَا وَمَا بَطَنَ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا؛ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَائِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا»  

"اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَينِنِا، وَألِّفْ بَينَ قُلُوبِنَا، وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلام، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ، وَجنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكَ لَنَا في أسْماعنَا وَأبْصَارِنَا وَقُلوبنَا وَأروَاحِنَا وَذَرَارِينَا، وَتُبْ عَلَينَا إِنَّكَ أنت التوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ، وَاجْعَلنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ، مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَابِلِينَ لَهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَينَا".
