اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا تَمِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ ،عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَا نَقُولُ إِذَا جَلَسْنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ عُلِّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ شَرِيكٌ : وَحَدَّثَنَا جَامِعٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي 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 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 لِنِعْمَتِكَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَابِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: 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 Abu Wail on the authority of Abdullah ibn Masud 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.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
969. Commentary:
➊ «ازواج» is the plural of «زوج» and is among the words that have opposite meanings. It is used to mean "wife" in relation to the husband, and "husband" in relation to the wife. Besides this, it is also used in the sense of "companion" and "pair." In this way, its meaning is very broad.
➋ At the beginning of the hadith, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was taught. Indeed, the faith of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) was that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not say even the slightest thing in matters of religion and worship from his own side, and that we must take all the details and particulars of the religion from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) alone. Therefore, this should also be the concern of all Muslims; with this concern, a person can be saved from innovations (bid‘ah).
