حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : ”يَا عَبَّاسُ ، سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ“، ثُمَّ مَكَثْتُ ثَلاثًا ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ بِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : ”يَا عَبَّاسُ ، يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that I said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me a supplication through which I may ask Allah Almighty. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Abbas! Ask Allah Almighty for well-being (aafiyah)." After some time had passed, I again came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me a supplication through which I may ask. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Abbas! O uncle of the Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah Almighty for well-being (aafiyah) in this world and the Hereafter."
