اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمَ ، فَقَالُوا : بِالرَّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَقُولُوا هَكَذَا ، وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ " .
´It was narrated from `Aqil bin Abu Talib:` that he married a woman from Banu Jusham, and they said: “May you live in harmony and have many sons.” He said: “Do not say that, rather say what the Messenger of Allah said: 'Allahumma barik lahum wa barik `alaihim (O Allah, bless them and bestow blessings upon them).' ”
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is Sunnah to congratulate the bride and groom on the occasion of marriage and to supplicate goodness for them.
➋
The best way to offer congratulations and supplication for goodness is to use those blessed words which were uttered by the noble tongue of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➌
Even if non-Islamic customs appear outwardly harmless and no fault is perceived in them, it is still appropriate to abandon them and adopt Islamic customs, so that distinction from non-Muslims remains. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to avoid such customs and traditions which are contrary to Islamic etiquette of social conduct or are connected to non-Islamic beliefs.
