Hadith 1425
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا : عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ جَوَّاسٍ : فِي قُنُوتِ الْوِتْرِ ، " اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ ، وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ " .
Narrated Al-Hasan ibn Ali: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me some words that I say during the witr. (The version of Ibn Jawwas has: I say them in the supplication of the witr. ) They were: "O Allah, guide me among those Thou hast guided, grant me security among those Thou hast granted security, take me into Thy charge among those Thou hast taken into Thy charge, bless me in what Thou hast given, guard me from the evil of what Thou hast decreed, for Thou dost decree, and nothing is decreed for Thee. He whom Thou befriendest is not humbled. Blessed and Exalted art Thou, our Lord. "
Hadith 1426
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ ، قَالَ : هَذَا يَقُولُ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الْقُنُوتِ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ أَبُو الْحَوْرَاءِ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ .
The aforesaid tradition has been transmitted by Abu Ishaq with the same chain and to the same effect. In the last of this tradition he said: The version has the words: "He would recite the supplication of the with. " He did not mention the words: "I say them in the with. " Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu al-Hawra' is Rabiah bin Shaiban.
Hadith 1427
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْفَزَارِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي آخِرِ وِتْرِهِ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سُخْطِكَ ، وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هِشَامٌ أَقْدَمُ شَيْخٍ لِحَمَّادٍ ، وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَعِينٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : لَمْ يَرْوِ عَنْهُ غَيْرُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَنَتَ ، يَعْنِي فِي الْوِتْرِ ، قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَيْضًا ، عَنْ فِطْرِ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِثْلَهُ ، وَرُوِيَ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَنَتَ فِي الْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَحَدِيثُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ . رَوَاهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَزْرَةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْقُنُوتَ ، وَلَا ذَكَرَ أُبَيًّا ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، وَسَمَاعُهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ مَعَ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا الْقُنُوتَ ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ أَيْضًا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، وَشُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا الْقُنُوتَ ، وَحَدِيثُ زُبَيْدٍ . رَوَاهُ وَشُعْبَةُ ، وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَجَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ كُلُّهُمْ ، سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ الْقُنُوتَ ، إِلَّا مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ ، فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ " إِنَّهُ قَنَتَ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْمَشْهُورِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَفْصٍ نَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَنْ حَفْصٍ ، عَنْ غَيْرِ مِسْعَرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَيُرْوَى أَنَّ أُبَيًّا كَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ .
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say at the end of his witr: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thy good pleasure from Thy anger, and in Thy forgiveness from Thy punishment, and I seek refuge in Thy mercy from Thy wrath. I cannot reckon the praise due to Thee. Thou art as Thou hast praised Thyself. " Abu Dawud said: Hisham is the earliest teacher of Hammad. Yahya bin Main said: No one is reported to have narrated traditions form him except Hammad bin Salamah. Abu Dawud said: Ubayy bin Kab said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited supplication in the witr before bowing. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by 'Isa bin Yunus through a different chain of narrators from Ubayy bin Kab. He also narrated it through a different chain of narrators on the authority of Ubayy bin Kab that the Messenger of Allah (saw) recited the supplication in the witr before bowing. Abu Dawud said: The chain of narrators of the tradition of Saeed from Qatadah goes: Yazid bin Zurai' narrated from Saeed, from Qatadah, from 'Azrah, from Saeed bin Abdur-Rahman bin Abza, on the authority of his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. This version does not mention the supplication and the name of Ubayy. This tradition has also been narrated by Abd al-A'la and Muhammad bin Bishr al-Abdi. He heard the traditions from 'Isa bin Yunus at Kufah. They did not mention the supplication in their version. This tradition has also been narrated by Hisham al-Dastuwa'i and Shubah from Qatadah. They did not mention the supplication in their version. The tradition of Zubaid has been narrated by Sulaiman al-Amash, Shubah, Abd al-Malik bin Abi Sulaiman, and Jarir bin Hazim; all of them narrated on the authority of Zubaid. None of them mention the supplication in his version, except in the tradition transmitted by Hafs bin Ghiyath from Misar from Zubaid; he narrated in his version that he (the Prophet) recited supplication before bowing. Abu Dawud said: This version of tradition is not well know. There is doubt that Hafs might have narrated this tradition from some other narrator than Misar. Abu Dawud said: It is reported that Ubayy (b. Kab) used to recited the supplication )in the witr) in the second half of Ramadan.
Hadith 1428
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ ، أَنَّ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ أَمَّهُمْ ، يَعْنِي فِي رَمَضَانَ ، وَكَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي النِّصْفِ الْآخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ .
Muhammad reported on the authority of some of his teachers that Ubayy bin Kab led them in prayer during Ramadan. He used to recite the supplication (in the with) during the second half of Ramadan.
Hadith 1429
حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ جَمَعَ النَّاسَ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي لَهُمْ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً وَلَا يَقْنُتُ بِهِمْ إِلَّا فِي النِّصْفِ الْبَاقِي ، فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ تَخَلَّفَ فَصَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ ، فَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ : أَبَقَ أُبَيٌّ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الَّذِي ذُكِرَ فِي الْقُنُوتِ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ ، وَهَذَانِ الْحَدِيثَانِ يَدُلَّانِ عَلَى ضَعْفِ حَدِيثِ أُبَيٍّ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَنَتَ فِي الْوِتْرِ " .
Narrated Ubayy ibn Kab: Al-Hasan reported: Umar ibn al-Khattab gathered the people (in tarawih prayer) behind Ubayy ibn Kab (who led them). He used to lead them for twenty days (during Ramadan, and would not recite the supplication except in the second half of it (i. e. Ramadan). When the last ten days remained, he kept away from them, and prayed in his house. They used to say: Ubayy ran away. Abu Dawud said: This tradition shows that whatever has been reported about the recitation of the supplication is not tenable. Moreover, these two traditions from Ubayy bin Kab indicate that another tradition which tells that the Prophet ﷺ recited the supplication in the witr is weak.
