بَابُ رَفْعِ الْأَيْدِي فِي الدُّعَاءِChapter: Raising Hands in Supplication
Hadith 610
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْهَا ، أَنَّهَا رَأَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ ، يَقُولُ : ”إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ فَلا تُعَاقِبْنِي ، أَيُّمَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آذَيْتُهُ أَوْ شَتَمْتُهُ فَلا تُعَاقِبْنِي فِيهِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raising his hands while supplicating, and he was saying: "O Allah! I am a human being, do not hold me accountable. If I have caused any harm to a Muslim, or spoken ill to him, do not take me to task for it."
