أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ , يَقُولُ فِي صَبَاحِ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ , وَمَسَاءِ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ , ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَيَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ " , قَالَ : وَكَانَ أَبَانُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ طَرَفٌ مِنَ الْفَالِجِ , فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ , فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبَانُ : مَا تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ ؟ أَمَا إِنَّ الْحَدِيثَ كَمَا قَدْ حَدَّثْتُكَ , وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَقُلْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِيُمْضِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ قَدَرَهُ .
´'Uthman bin 'Affan said:` "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saas) say: "There is no person who says, in the morning and evening of every day: Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alim (In the name of Allah with Whose Name nothing on earth or in heaven harms, and He is the All-Seeing, All-Knowing), three times, and is then harmed by anything.'" (Hasan)He (one of the narrators) said: "Aban had been stricken with paralysis on one side of his body, and a man started looking at him. Aban said: 'Why are you looking at me? The Hadith is as I have narrated it to you, but I did not say it that day, so that the decree of Allah might be implemented.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Benefit and harm are in the hands of Allah alone. Therefore, it is through the blessing of His pure name that one seeks His protection. He is aware of the condition of everyone, and He is also capable of hearing their supplications.
➋ In order to seek protection from the evil of creation, especially from the plots of enemies, one should recite these prescribed (masnun) supplications instead of self-invented litanies.
➌ Along with having hope in Allah, one should also maintain fear of Him.
