اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ، وَهَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ " ، قَالَ : هَمْزُهُ الْمُوتَةُ ، وَنَفْثُهُ الشِّعْرُ ، وَنَفْخُهُ الْكِبْرُ .
´It was narrated from Ibn Mas’ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minash-Shaitanir-rajim, wa hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafthihi (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Satan, from his madness, his pride, and his poetry).”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ (Hamz)
The meaning of (hamz) is to jab one’s fingers forcefully into another person’s body, causing him pain.
Mawtah is an illness that occurs due to the effect of Shaytan.
It is similar to madness or epileptic seizures.
In this state, a person loses consciousness.
When the seizure ends, the patient regains full awareness and senses.
➋ (Nafth)
By (nafth) is meant the manner of blowing that is adopted while performing ruqyah (spiritual healing by recitation and blowing).
Obscene poetry, vulgar songs, and indecent verses are the result of Shaytan’s incitement.
They have no benefit.
Rather, their moral and social harms and damages are evident.
Therefore, it is necessary to seek Allah’s protection from their evil. (Nafth) can also mean a whisper (waswasah).
➌ (Nafkh)
By (nafkh) is meant the manner of blowing as when air is blown into something, or when something is blown upon forcefully.
In the supplication, it refers to the state of pride and arrogance,
because of which a person looks down upon others with contempt
and considers himself superior to them.
Many other moral diseases arise due to this.
