Hadith 6908
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: عَلَّمَنَا خُطْبَةَ الْحَاجَةِ، اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ ثَلَاثَ آيَاتٍ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ۔ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً، وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا۔ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا} ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُ حَاجَتَكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us the Khutbah al-Hajah, and that sermon was as follows: All praise is due to Allah, we seek His help, we ask His forgiveness, and we seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our own souls. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomever He lets go astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite these three verses: {یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِیْنَ آمَنُوْ اتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِہِ وَلَا تَمُوْتُنَّ اِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُوْنَ۔ یَا أَیُّہَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّکُمُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَکُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَۃٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْہَا زَوْجَہَا وَبَثَّ مِنْہُمَا رِجَالًا کَثِیْرًا وَنِسَائً، وَاتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ الَّذِیْ تَسَائَ لُوْنَ بِہِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ کَانَ عَلَیْکُمْ رَقِیْبًا۔ یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِیْنَ آمَنُوْا اتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ وَقُوْلُوْا قُوْلًا سَدِیْدًایُصْلِحْ لَکُمْ أَعْمَالَکُمْ وَیَغْفِرْلَکُمْ ذُنُوْبَکُمْ وَمَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰہَ وَرَسُوْلَہُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِیْمًا} O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except as Muslims. (Surah Al-Imran: 102) O mankind! Fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the ties of kinship. Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. (Surah An-Nisa: 1) O you who have believed! Fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. He will amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great success. (Surah Al-Ahzab: 70) Then mention your need and requirement.
Hadith 6909
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُطْبَتَيْنِ خُطْبَةَ الْحَاجَةِ وَخُطْبَةَ الصَّلَاةِ، اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَوْ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَسْتَعِينُهُ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us two types of sermons: one is the sermon of need (Khutbat al-Hajah) and the other is the sermon of prayer. The sermon of need is as follows: Surely, all praise is for Allah Almighty, we seek help from Him, ... ... . Then a narration with the same meaning as the above-mentioned hadith was mentioned.
Hadith 6910
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلَّمَ رَجُلًا فِي شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ: ((اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ، وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to a man about something and said: All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide him, and whomever He lets go astray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. Then he presented his matter.
Hadith 6911
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْخُطْبَةُ الَّتِي وَفِي لَفْظٍ كُلُّ خُطْبَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَهَادَةٌ كَالْيَدِ الْجَذْمَاءِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every sermon in which there is no testimony is like a severed hand.
Hadith 6912
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَّأَ الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ قَالَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِي خَيْرٍ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that when someone got married, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would congratulate him with these words: BĀRAKALLĀHU LAKA WA BĀRAKA ‘ALAYKA WA JAMA‘A BAYNAKUMĀ FĪ KHAIR (May Allah bless you, and shower blessings upon you, and unite both of you in goodness and well-being.)
Hadith 6913
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ عَقِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا بِالرِّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ فَقَالَ مَهْ لَا تَقُولُوا ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ قُولُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ وَبَارَكَ لَكَ فِيهَا
Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil narrates, he says: Sayyiduna Aqil bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) got married. When he came to us, we said: May there be harmony and unity, and may you have sons. He said: Stop, do not say it like this, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say like this: BĀRAKALLĀHU FĪKA WA BĀRAKA LAKA FĪHĀ (May Allah bless you and bless her for you).
Hadith 6914
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ عَقِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا بِالرِّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ قَالُوا فَمَا نَقُولُ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ قَالَ قُولُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ
. (Second chain) Sayyiduna Aqeel bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) married a woman from the Banu Jashm tribe. When people came to him, they said: May there be harmony and unity, and may you have sons. But he said: Do not say it like this. The people said: O Abu Yazid! Then what should we say? He said: You should say like this: BĀRAKALLĀHU LAKUM WA BĀRAKALLĀHU LAKUM WA BĀRAKALLĀHU ‘ALAYKUM (May Allah bless you, may Allah bless you, and may Allah bless you). We were commanded to say these supplicatory words.
