اُردوEn
عَنْهُ أَيْضًا فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَفَّى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ نَجَاةِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا نَجَاةُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قَبِلَ مِنِّي الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي عَرَضْتُ عَلَى عَمِّي فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ فَهِيَ لَهُ نَجَاةٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Allah Almighty caused His Prophet to pass away, while we had not yet asked what is the salvation in this matter. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I had asked this question to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I got up and went to him and said: May my parents be sacrificed for you, you were more deserving of this. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the salvation in this matter? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever accepted from me that word which I presented to my uncle, but he did not accept it, then that word will be salvation for him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "matter" is meant those whisperings and types of evil that Satan casts into the souls of the servants. Since the most virtuous, the means of forgiveness, the one that establishes tawhid (monotheism), and the one that negates shirk (polytheism) is the remembrance (dhikr) of "La ilaha illallah" (There is no deity except Allah), therefore, it is only through such a great remembrance that one can be protected from Satan and his whisperings.
