بَابُ مَنْ دَعَا بِطُولِ الْعُمُرِChapter: Supplicating for Long Life
Hadith 653
حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سِنَانٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا ، أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ ، فَدَخَلَ يَوْمًا ، فَدَعَا لَنَا ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : خُوَيْدِمُكَ أَلا تَدْعُو لَهُ ؟ قَالَ : ”اللَّهُمَّ ، أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ ، وَأَطِلْ حَيَاتَهُ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ“، فَدَعَا لِي بِثَلاثٍ ، فَدَفَنْتُ مِائَةً وَثَلاثَةً ، وَإِنَّ ثَمَرَتِي لَتُطْعِمُ فِي السَّنَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، وَطَالَتْ حَيَاتِي حَتَّى اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، وَأَرْجُو الْمَغْفِرَةَ.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to visit our family. One day he (peace be upon him) came and made supplication for us. Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Will you not supplicate for your little servant?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: «اللَّهُمَّ، أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَأَطِلْ حَيَاتَهُ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ» "O Allah! Grant him abundance of wealth and children, lengthen his life, and forgive him." The Prophet (peace be upon him) supplicated for me for three things. So, I have buried one hundred and three of my children. As for the abundance of wealth, my fruits are eaten twice a year, and my life has become so long that I feel shy before people, and I also hope for forgiveness.
