[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood inside the Kaaba, glorifying Allah, magnifying Him, supplicating to Him, seeking His forgiveness, without bowing or prostrating."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ يُسَبِّحُ وَيُكَبِّرُ وَيَدْعُو وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ وَلَمْ يَرْكَعْ وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you were not to commit sins, Allah would do away with you and bring people who would commit sins and then seek forgiveness from Allah; so Allah would forgive them."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَوْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَخْطَأْتُمْ حَتَّى تَمْلَأَ خَطَايَاكُمْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتُمُ اللهَ لَغَفَرَ لَكُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ أَوْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ تُخْطِئُوا لَجَاءَ اللهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُخْطِئُونَ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللهَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ  

"والَّذى نَفْسي بيَدِه لَوْ أَخطأتُم حَتَّى تَمْلأَ خَطَاياكُم مَا بَينَ السماءِ والأرضِ، ثُمَّ استغفرتُم لَغَفرَ لكُم، والَّذى نَفْسي بيده لَوْ لَم تُخطئُوا لَجاءَ اللهُ بقومٍ يُخطئون ثم يستغفِرون اللهَ فيغفرُ لَهُم".  

[Machine] He passed by with his companion to the right of him, along with some young men from the Quraysh tribe who had untied their garments and made them into slingshots to throw at him while they were naked. Abdullah said, when we passed by them, they said: "These are Christian monks, leave them alone." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ confronted them, and when they saw him, they scattered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned angrily until he entered (the house). I was behind the curtain, and I heard him saying, "Glory be to Allah, they did not feel shy of Allah or His Messenger. Umm Ayman is with him, saying, 'Seek forgiveness for them, O Messenger of Allah.'" Abdullah said: "It does not matter how much he seeks forgiveness for them." And I heard him, saying, "I am similar to Harun."  

أَنَّهُ مَرَّ وَصَاحِبٌ لَهُ بِأَيْمَنَ وَفِتيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدْ حَلُّوا أُزُرَهُمْ فَجَعَلُوهَا مَخَارِيقَ يَجْتَلِدُونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عُرَاةٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَلَمَّا مَرَرْنَا بِهِمْقَالُوا إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قِسِّيسُونَ فَدَعُوهُمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا أَبْصَرُوهُ تَبَدَّدُوا فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُغْضَبًا حَتَّى دَخَلَ وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَرَاءَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَا مِنَ اللهِ اسْتَحْيَوْا وَلَا مِنْ رَسُولِهِ اسْتَتَرُوا وَأُمُّ أَيْمَنَ عِنْدَهُ تَقُولُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَبِلَأْيٍ مَا اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ هَارُونَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best form of seeking forgiveness is to mention this Hadith."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَيِّدُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] "We performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the Farewell Hajj. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Fajr prayer, then turned around to face the people. Suddenly, he noticed two men behind the crowd who did not pray with the rest of the people. He asked for those two men to be brought to him. They came trembling, their beards wet with sweat. The Prophet ﷺ asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people?' They replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, we have already prayed when we were on our journey.' He said, 'Do not do that if any of you prays during his journey and then catches up with the Imam, let him join the prayer with him, for it will be a voluntary prayer for him.' One of them said, 'Ask forgiveness for me, O Messenger of Allah,' and the Prophet ﷺ asked for his forgiveness. Then, the people began to get up to approach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I also got up and, at that time, I was the most youthful and energetic among the men. I continued to move through the crowd until I reached the Prophet ﷺ and held his hand, placing it on my face or chest. I have never felt anything more pleasant or cooler than the hand of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And he was then in the Mosque of Al-Khayf."  

حَجَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ أَوِ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْحَرَفَ جَالِسًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِهَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ نَافِلَةٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ قَالَ وَنَهَضَ النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَهَضْتُ مَعَهُمْ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَشَبُّ الرِّجَالِ وَأَجْلَدُهُ قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَزْحَمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى وَصَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ فَوَضَعْتُهَا إِمَّا عَلَى وَجْهِي أَوْ صَدْرِي قَالَ فَمَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا أَطْيَبَ وَلَا أَبْرَدَ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ  

[Machine] We prayed the Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque of Al-Khayf, and he mentioned a narration. He said, "Shurayk spoke in his narration, and one of them said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said, 'May Allah forgive you.'"  

صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ قَالَ شَرِيكٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Every night, there is a specific hour in which a caller announces, 'Is there anyone who is praying to Allah, so that I may answer their prayer? Is there anyone who is asking for something, so that I may grant it to them? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so that I may forgive them?'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُنَادِي كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ سَاعَةً فِيهَا مُنَادٍ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Allah descends to the lowest heaven every night and says, 'Is there anyone who asks, so that I may give him? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?' This continues until dawn breaks."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَنْزِلُ اللهُ ﷻ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Every night, a caller calls out, 'Is there anyone seeking supplication so that it may be granted? Is there anyone seeking something so that it may be given to him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that he may be forgiven?' This continues until dawn."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَيُسْتَجَابَ لَهُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَيُعْطَى هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: Indeed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven every night and says: 'Is there anyone who is supplicating, so that I may answer his supplication? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَنْزِلُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَاسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "Indeed, in the night there is an hour in which the doors of the heavens are opened, and it is said, 'Is there anyone who asks, so they may be given? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness, so they may be forgiven? Is there anyone who supplicates, so they may be answered?'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةً يُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ أُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that during the night, there is an hour in which the heavens' doors are opened and he says, "Is there anyone who asks so I can give to him? Is there anyone who calls so I can respond to him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so I can forgive him?"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي اللَّيْلِ سَاعَةً يُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ أُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟  

"إِن الله ﷻ يَنْزلُ إِلى السماءِ الدُّنْيا فِي كُل لَيلَةٍ، فَيَقولُ: هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأستجيبَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِر فَأغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ ".  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Abdus-Samad in his Hadith says: 'Verily, during the night there is an hour when the gates of the heavens are opened, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, asks: 'Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone seeking sustenance, so that I may grant him sustenance? Is there anyone afflicted, so that I may relieve him?'" They said: "All of this occurs every night, O Messenger of Allah." He further said: "Dawud once went out during the night and said: 'No one asks Allah for anything except that He gives it to him, except for a magician or an adulterer.' Thereupon, some dogs approached him while he was mounted on his she-camel, and he descended upon 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Amir and said: 'What has brought you out, O 'Abdur Rahman?' He said: 'What ails you?' He said: 'I have been informed of something, so sit with me.' 'Abdur Rahman said: 'I am busy with my work.' He said: 'What is your work?' He said: 'Uthman informed us of this and that.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بِاللَّيْلِ سَاعَةً تُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ قَالَا جَمِيعًا وَإِنَّ دَاوُدَ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللهَ أَحَدٌ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ سَاحِرًا أَوْ عَشَّارًا فَدَعَا كِلَابٌ بِقُرْقُورٍ فَرَكِبَ فِيهِ وَانْحَدَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَامِرٍفَقَالَ دُونَكَ عَمَلَكَ قَالَ لِمَ قَالَ؟ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا  

"إِنَّ فِى اللَّيلِ سَاعَة تُفْتَحُ فيها أَبْوابُ السَّمَاءِ، فيَقُولُ: هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأسَتَجِيبَ لهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُستَغْفِر فأَغفِرَ لَهُ، وَإنَّ دَاودَ خَرَج ذاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فقَالَ: لا يَسْألُ اللَّهَ اللَّيلَةَ أحَد شيئًا إِلَّا أعطاهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا ساحِر أو عَشَّار".  

[Machine] "So they showed their forgiveness, and Anas did not object. Hushaim said, Khalid said in his narration, that they buried him beside a grave and Hushaim said once that a man from the Ansar died in Basra, and Anas ibn Malik witnessed it, so they showed their forgiveness to him."  

فَأَظْهَرُوا الِاسْتِغْفَارَ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ أَنَسٌ قَالَ هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَأَدْخَلُوهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلِ الْقَبْرِ وَقَالَ هُشَيْمٌ مَرَّةً إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَاتَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَشَهِدَهُ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَأَظْهَرُوا لَهُ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Were I not afraid that it would be hard on my followers, I would order them to use the siwak (as obligatory, for cleaning the teeth). (Using translation from Bukhārī 7240)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ نَزَلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فَأَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَأُجِيبَهُ؟  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Were it not that it would be too difficult for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwak every time of prayer, and I would have delayed Ishaʿ until the first third of the night had passed, because when the first third of the night has passed. Allah may he be exalted descends to the first heaven and stays there until dawn comes, and says: Is there any asking so that he might be given? Is there anyone praying so that he might be answered? Is there any sick person asking for healing so that he might be healed? Is there any sinner asking for forgiveness, so that he might be forgiven? A hadeeth like that of Abu Hurairah was narrated from ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ from the Prophet ﷺ Abi Talib.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاةٍ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ عِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلِ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ هَبَطَ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَيَقُولَ قَائِلٌ أَلا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى أَلا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ أَلا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفِي فَيُشْفَى أَلا مُذْنِبٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ؟  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Were I not afraid that it would be hard on my followers, I would order them to use the siwak (as obligatory, for cleaning the teeth). (Using translation from Bukhārī 7240)

A hadeeth like that of Abu Hurairah was narrated from ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ from the Prophet ﷺ Abi Talib. (Using translation from Aḥmad 967)  

اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ هَبَطَ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ أَلَا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى؟ أَلَا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ؟ أَلَا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفِي فَيُشْفَى؟ أَلَا مُذْنِبٌ مُسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ؟ َ  

"لَوْلا أن أَشُقَّ عَلَى أمَّتِي لأخَّرْتُ صَلاةَ العِشَاءِ إلى ثُلُثِ اللَّيلِ أوْ شَطرِ اللَّيل؛ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَى شَطرُ اللَّيلِ يَنْزِلُ الله تعَالى إلَى السَّماءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فأغفِرَ لَهُ، هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فأتُوبَ عَلَيهِ، هَلْ مِن دَاعٍ فأسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَطلُعَ الفَجْرُ".  

"لَوْلا أن أشُقَّ عَلَى أمّتِى لأمَرْتُهُم بالسِّواك عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاة، وَلأخَّرتُ عِشَاءَ الآَخِرَةِ إلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيل الأوَّل، فَإِنَّهُ إذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَيلِ الأولُ، هَبَطَ الله تَعَالى إلى سَماء الدُّنْيَا، فَلَمْ يَزَل هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يطلُعَ الفَجْرُ، فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: ألا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى، ألا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ، ألا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفي فَيُشْفَى، ألا مُذْنِبٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ".  

"عن على قال: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ على أُمَّتِى لأَمَرتُهم بِالسواكِ عندَ كُلِّ صلاة، وَلأَخرتُ العِشاءَ إِلى ثلثِ الليلِ الأول، فإنه إذا مضَى ثُلثُ اللَّيْل الأَوَّلُ هَبَطَ الله إلى سَمَاءِ الدُّنيا، فلم يزلْ هُناكَ حتى يَطْلُعَ الفجرُ، فيقول الله: ألَا سَائِلٌ يُعطَى سُؤْلَهُ؟ أَلَا داعٍ يُجَابُ؟ أَلَا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفِى فَيُشْفَى؟ أَلَا مُذْنِبٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ؟ ".  

[Machine] I bear witness that Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'id both testified that they heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Verily, Allah grants respite until the third of the night passes, then He descends and says: 'Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone who seeks provision, so that I may provide for him?'"  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَهْبِطُ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَيُغْفَرُ لَهُ؟  

[Machine] I bear witness that Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri both testified that they heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Indeed, Allah grants respite until the third of the night passes, then He descends and says, 'Is there anyone who seeks, so that I may give to them? Is there anyone who repents, so that I may accept their repentance? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness, so that I may forgive them? Is there anyone who sins, so that I may pardon them?' A man asked, 'Will this remain until dawn?' He replied, 'Yes.'"  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُذْنِبٍ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] I bear witness that Abu Sa'id and Abu Hurayrah testified that they heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Indeed, Allah gives respite until when two-thirds of the night have passed, He descends and says, 'Is there anyone who asks so that he may be given? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so that he may be forgiven? Is there anyone who supplicates so that his supplication may be answered?  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ هَبَطَ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَيُعْطَى؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهُ؟  

[Machine] "They both testified to it before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I bear witness that they said, 'Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, grants respite until the first third of the night passes. Then, He descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone seeking forgiveness? Is there anyone begging for sustenance? Is there anyone repenting? Is there anyone in need?' Until dawn emerges."  

أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ ثُمَّ يَهْبِطُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah grants respite until the first third of the night passes, then He commands a caller to call out, 'Is there anyone who is invoking (supplicating) that his invocation may be answered? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness (repenting) that he may be forgiven? Is there anyone asking for something so that he may be given?'".  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى يَمْضِي شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي يَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ يُعْطَى  

[Machine] My uncle, Baraz, stood out on the day of Khaybar and greeted the Jew. He said, "Welcome, O Jew." The Jew replied, "Welcome indeed, O Baraz. Khaybar knows that I am a welcomed warrior, a tested champion. When the battles are ignited, I become ablaze."

My uncle, Aamir, responded, "Welcome, O Baraz. Khaybar knows that I am an experienced warrior, a daring hero."

They exchanged two strikes, and Baraz's sword fell on Aamir's shield. It slid down and accidentally cut his ankle, severing his tendon. Baraz said, "Salama bin Al-Akwa' was there, and I met some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . They said, 'Aamir's actions have come to an end; he has killed himself.' Salama said, 'So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ crying. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Aamir's actions have come to an end.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Who said that?' I said, 'Some of your companions.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever said that has lied. Rather, he will be rewarded twice. When he went to Khaybar, he was reciting poetry about the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he was among them, and yet they were saying, 'By Allah, if it weren't for Allah, we would not have been guided, nor would we have been charitable, nor would we have prayed. Indeed, when those who transgress against us desire evil, we defend ourselves, seeking no help from your favor. So stand firm, for we shall meet them and send down tranquility upon us.'"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Who is this person?' They said, 'It is Aamir, O Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'May your Lord forgive you.'

Upon hearing this, Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if you grant us respite with Aamir, he should be given the opportunity to be martyred.' Salama said, 'Then the Prophet ﷺ sent me to Ali and said, 'I will bestow the flag upon a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, or whom Allah and His Messenger love.' I brought Ali, and I led him. He spitted in the Prophet's ﷺ eye and then received the flag. Marhaba went forward, swinging his sword and reciting poetry. He said, 'Khaybar surely knows that I am Marhaba, the champion wielding the weapon. When the battles are ignited, I become ablaze.' Ali responded, 'I am the one whom my mother named Haydar. I am like the thorny bush, unpleasant to the sight. I repay them measure for measure, like weighing the sandam. So I split Marhaba's head with my sword, and the victory was through my hands.'"

"عَنْ أبَان بْن سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرنِى أَبى قَالَ: بَارَزَ عَمِّى يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ مَرْحَبًا الْيَهُودِىَّ، فَقَالَ مَرْحَبٌ:

قَدْ عَلِمتْ الحباير (* *) بْن مَرْحَبُ ... شَاكِى السِّلَاحِ بَطلٌ مُجَرِّبُ

إِذَا الْحُرُوبُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلَهَّبُ

فَقالَ عَمِّى عَامِرٌ:

قَدْ عَلِمَتْ خَيْبَرُ أَنِّى عَامِرُ ... شَاكِى السِّلَاحِ بَطَلٌ مُعافِرُ

فاخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَتَيْن، فَوَقَعَ سَيْفُ مَرْحَبٍ في تُرْس عَامِرٍ، فَرَجَعَ السَّيْفُ عَلَى سَاقِه

فَقَطَع أَكْحَلَهُ، فَكَانَتْ فيهَا نَفْسُهُ، قَالَ سَلَمَة: فَلَقيتُ مِنْ صَحَابَةِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقالُوا: بَطَلَ (عَمَلُ) عامِرٍ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ! فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ أبكى، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! أَبَطَلَ عَمَلُ عَامرٍ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ قالَ ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ! أُناسٌ مِنْ أَصْحابِكَ! قالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : كَذَبَ مَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ! بَلْ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْن، حِينَ خرج إِلَى خَيْبَرَ. جَعَلَ يَرْجُزُ بِأَصْحابِ النَّبىِّ ﷺ ، وَفِيهِمُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَسُوقُ الرِّكَابَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:

[Machine] Allah will forgive you, O mother of good tidings. Have you not heard what the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The soul of a Muslim is like a bird attached to the tree of Paradise until Allah returns it to its body on the Day of Resurrection." She said: "You have spoken the truth, so I seek forgiveness from Allah."  

يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكِ يَا أُمَّ مُبَشِّرٍ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ طَيْرٌ تَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهَا اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَتْ صَدَقْتَ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ  

[Machine] "A mother gave glad tidings to Ka'ab when he attended. She said, 'Read upon my son peace, meaning glad tidings.' So Ka'ab said, 'May Allah forgive you, O mother of glad tidings. Haven't you heard what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said? He said, 'Verily, the soul of a believer is suspended in a bird until Allah returns it to its body on the Day of Resurrection.' So she said, 'I seek forgiveness from Allah.'"  

أُمُّ مُبَشِّرٍ لِكَعْبٍ حِينَ حَضَرَ اقْرَأْ عَلَى ابْنِي السَّلَامَ تَعْنِي مُبَشِّرًا فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكِ يَا أُمَّ مُبَشِّرٍ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ» نَسَمَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ فِي طَيْرٍ تُعْلَّقُ فِي شَجَرِِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَهُ اللهُ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَالَتْ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how does Allah revive the dead?" He said, "Have you not passed by a land that was barren, then you passed by it while it was fertile?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Thus is the revival." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?" He said, "To testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partners, and to testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and that Allah and His messenger are more beloved to you than anyone else, and to prefer being burned in the fire rather than associating partners with Allah, and to love someone without any personal interest except for the sake of Allah. If you are such, then love of faith has entered your heart, just as the love of water enters the heart of a thirsty person on a scorching day." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how can I know that I am a believer?" He said, "None of my Ummah, or this Ummah, is a servant who performs a good deed and knows that it is a good deed, and Allah rewards him with goodness for it, or performs an evil deed and knows that it is an evil deed, and seeks forgiveness from Allah for it, knowing that no one forgives sins except Him, except that he is a believer."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي اللهُ الْمَوْتَى؟ قَالَ أَمَا مَرَرْتَ بِأَرْضٍ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ مُجْدِبَةٍ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتَ بِهَا مُخْصَبَةً؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ النُّشُورُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنْ يَكُونَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّاسِوَاهُمَا وَأَنْ تُحْرَقَ فِي النَّارِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِاللهِ وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ غَيْرَ ذِي نَسَبٍ لَا تُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَإِذَا كُنْتَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَدْ دَخَلَ حُبُّ الْإِيمَانِ فِي قَلْبِكَ كَمَا دَخَلَ حُبُّ الْمَاءِ لِلظَّمْآنِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْقَائِظِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ لِي بِأَنْ أَعْلَمَ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ؟ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَوْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَبْدٌ يَعْمَلُ حَسَنَةً فَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا حَسَنَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ جَازِيهِ بِهَا خَيْرًا وَلَا يَعْمَلُ سَيِّئَةً فَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا سَيِّئَةٌ ويَسْتَغْفَرُ اللهَ ﷻ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَّا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ  

"الإِيمَانُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَن لَا إله إلَّا الله وحدَه لَا شريكَ لهُ وأَنَّ محمَّدًا عبده ورسُوله وأَن يكونَ الله ورسُولُه أَحَبَّ إِليه مما سِوَاهُمَا وأَن تُحْرَق في النَّارِ أَحَبَّ، إِليكَ من أن تُشْرِكَ بالله وأن تحب غير ذي نسب لا تحبه إِلا لله ﷻ فَإِذَا كُنْتَ كَذَلِكَ لقَدْ دَخَل حُبُّ الإِيُمانِ في قَلْبِكَ كَمَا دَخَلَ حُبُّ الماءِ لِلظَّمان في اليومِ القائظ، مَا مِنْ أُمتى عبد يعمل حسنة فيعلم أَنها حسنة وأن الله جازيه بها خيرا ولا يعمل سيئة فَيَعْلمُ أَنَّها سيئة ويَسْتَغْفِرُ الله مِنْهَا ويَعْلَمُ أَنه لا يَغْفِرُ (الذنوب) إِلا هو إِلا وهو مؤمن".  

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we reached al-Kadid, or he said al-Qudaid, where some of us requested permission from their families and were granted it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and said, "Why is it that the men who cut down the tree by which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is seated are more disliked by them than the other men? We only saw at that moment some of the people weeping." A man then said, "Indeed, the one who seeks permission from you after this is mad." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thanked Allah and said, "I bear witness, in the sight of Allah, that no servant who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah sincerely from his heart will die until he enters Paradise." He added, "And my Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without being held accountable or punished. And I hope that you and those among your parents, spouses, and offspring who are righteous will occupy dwellings in Paradise." He also said, "When half or two-thirds of the night has passed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says, ‘Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone seeking provision, so that I may provide for him? Is there anyone asking for a favor, so that I may grant it to him?’ This continues until dawn breaks."  

أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ أَوْ قَالَ بِقُدَيْدٍ فَجَعَلَ رِجَالٌ مِنَّا يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ فَيَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَكُونُ شِقُّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ فَلَمْ نَرَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَقَالَ حِينَئِذٍ أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ يَشْهَدُ أَنْلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ صِدْقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ وَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي ﷻ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا عَذَابَ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَالَ إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ قَالَ ثُلُثَا اللَّيْلِ يَنْزِلُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي أَحَدًا غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ مَنِ الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فأَستَجِيبُ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ  

[Machine] He said: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , until we reached Al-Kadeed or Qudeed. There, men sought permission to visit their families and they were granted permission. He then praised and glorified Allah, and said, "The best of you is the one who, upon witnessing, testifies that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, sincerely from his heart, and then behaves rightly. Except those destined for Hell." Then he said, "My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand from my Ummah will enter Paradise without being held to account. And I hope that you and those of your wives and children who are righteous will be among them, possessing homes in Paradise." He also said, "When half or two-thirds of the night has passed, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Is there anyone asking for something, that I may grant him? Is there anyone seeking my protection, that I may protect him?' This continues until dawn arrives."  

قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ أَوْ قَالَ بِقُدَيْدٍ جَعَلَ رِجَالٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ إِلَىأَهْلِيهِمْ فَيُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ خَيْرًا وَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَادِقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَقَالَ إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ يَنْزِلُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي أَحَدًا غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ  

[Machine] "We left with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Makkah, and some people started asking for permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He began giving them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, 'Why is it that the branch of the tree that follows the Messenger of Allah is more hateful to you than any other branch?' We did not see anyone from the people except crying. Abu Bakr said, 'The one who seeks permission from you after this will surely be foolish in my eyes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised and thanked Allah. He would say, 'By the One in whose hand my soul is, I bear witness before Allah, whoever among you believes in Allah and follows the straight path, he will be admitted to Paradise.' Indeed, my Lord has promised me that He will admit 70 thousand from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning or punishment. And I hope that none will enter it until you and your righteous spouses and children settle in it.' Then he said, 'When one-third of the night or two-thirds of it have passed, Allah, blessed and exalted is He, descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks Me that I may give him? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Is there anyone who invokes Me that I may answer him until dawn breaks?'"  

صَدَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَجَعَلَ نَاسٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ؟ » قَالَ فَلَمْ نَرَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا قَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ فِي نَفْسِي فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَتَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا مَضَى شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ»  

" عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ عَرَابَةَ قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْكَدِيدِ، أَوْ قَالَ: بِقَدِيد جَعَلَ رِجَال مِنَّا يَسْتَأذِنُونَ إِلَى أهَاليهِمْ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَأذَنُ لَهُمْ وَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّذِى يَلِى رَسُولَ الله ﷺ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الآخَرِ؟ ! فَلَمْ نَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ الَّذِى يَسْتَأذِنُكَ فِى شَىْءٍ مِنْهَا السَّفِيهُ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَحَمِد الله، وأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ الله وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ: وَالَّذِى نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بيَدِهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِى رَبِّى أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِى الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا عَذَابَ، وَإِنِّى لأَرْجُو أَن لَّا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَبْنُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِذَا مَضَى نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ، أَوْ قَالَ: ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ الله تَعَالَى إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِى غَيْرِى، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَسْأَلُنِى أَعْطَيْتُهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَدْعُونِى أَسْتَجِيب لَهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَسْتَغْفِرُنِى أَغْفِر لَهُ، حَتَّى يَنْصَدِعَ الْفَجْرُ".  

[Machine] I heard my father, who had met the Prophet ﷺ , say that he wiped his head and sought forgiveness for him.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَقَدْ كَانَ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ wiped his head and sought forgiveness for him.  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] My father came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was a young boy, and the Prophet ﷺ wiped his head and sought forgiveness for him. Shu'bah said: We asked him, "Did you have companionship with the Prophet?" He said, "No, but he had taken care of me during his time."  

جَاءَ أَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ صَغِيرٌ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قُلْنَا لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِهِ قَدْ حَلَبَ وَصَرَّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you meet a pilgrim, greet him, shake his hand, and ask him to seek forgiveness for you before he enters his home, for indeed his prayers for forgiveness will be answered."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا لَقِيتَ الْحَاجَّ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَصَافِحْهُ وَمُرْهُ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you meet a pilgrim, greet him, shake his hand, and ask him to seek forgiveness for you before he enters his home, for indeed, his prayer will be answered."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا لَقِيتَ الْحَاجَّ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَصَافِحْهُ وَمُرْهُ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُ  

"إذَا لَقِيتَ الحاجَّ فسلِّمْ عليه وصافِحْهُ، ومُرْه أنْ يستغِفرَ لَكَ قَبْلَ أنْ يدخُلَ بيتَه، فإِنَّه مغْفُورٌ له" .  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah forgives the Mu'adhdhin (the one who calls the Adhan) to the extent of his Adhan, and every moist and dry thing that hears his voice seeks forgiveness for him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِلْمُؤَذِّنِ مُنْتَهَى أَذَانِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ كُلُّ رَطْبٍ وَيَابِسٍ سَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ  

"يُغْفَرُ للمُؤَذِّنِ مُنْتَهَى أَذَانِهِ، وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ كُلُّ رَطبٍ وَيَابسٍ سَمِعَهُ"  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one-third of the night remains, Allah descends to the lower heaven and asks, 'Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Who is seeking provision from Me so that I may provide for him? Who is seeking relief from distress so that I may relieve him?' This continues until dawn breaks."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَقِيَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ يَنْزِلُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَرْزِقُنِي فَأَرْزُقَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ فَأَكْشِفَهُ عَنْهُ؟ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say, "When one-third of the night remains, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and asks, 'Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Who is asking Me for provision so that I may provide for him? Who is seeking My help against harm so that I may help him?' This continues until dawn breaks."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا بَقِيَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ يَنْزِلُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي أَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي أَغْفِرْ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَرْزِقُنِي أَرْزُقْهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ أَكْشِفْهُ؟ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When half or two-thirds of the night passes, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks of Me so that I may grant them? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness so that I may forgive them? Is there anyone who supplicates to Me so that I may answer them?' This continues until dawn breaks."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا مَضَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ نِصْفُهُ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ هَبَطَ اللَّهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ
