Hadith 1893

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ ، وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا ، وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا ، 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 أَمَّا بَعْدُ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn `Abbas that:` The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Al-hamdu lillahi nahmadhu wa nasta`inuhu wa na`udhu billahi min shururi anfusina wa min sayi'ati a`malina, man yahdihillahu fala mudilla lahu, wa man yudlil fala hadiya lahu. Wa ashadu an la ilaha illallahu wahduhu la sharika lahu, wa anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu. Amma ba`d. (Praise is to Allah, we praise Him and we seek His help. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds, Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray; and whomsoever is led astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah, alone with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. To proceed).”

Benefits and Issues:


It is Sunnah to begin important conversations with the praise of Allah, the Exalted.


Seeking help from Allah in every matter and asking Him alone for success is part of Tawheed (monotheism).


A person’s heart inclines towards sin, as a result of which evil deeds occur. Sometimes a person, considering something to be better for himself, acts upon it, but its outcome is not good. One can only be protected from such bad consequences through the mercy of Allah; therefore, supplication is made to Allah alone that, whether it is the matter of marriage or other important affairs, Allah makes its outcome good.


Guidance and misguidance are in the hand of Allah; therefore, guidance and direction are sought from Him alone.
