Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 2775

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : كَانَتْ لَيْلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَانْسَلَّ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ انْسَلَّ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَخَرَجْتُ غَيْرَى فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهِ سَاجِدًا كَالثَّوْبِ الطَّرِيحِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : " سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِي وَخَيَالِي وَآمَنَ بِكَ فُؤَادِي رَبِّ هَذِهِ يَدِي وَمَا جَنَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي ، يَا عَظِيمُ تُرْجَى لِكُلِّ عَظِيمٍ فَاغْفِرِ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ " قَالَتْ : فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ : " مَا أَخْرَجَكِ ؟ " قَالَتْ : ظَنًّا ظَنَنْتُهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ ، فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللَّهَ ، إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي سَمِعْتِ فَقُولِيهَا فِي سُجُودِكِ ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَهَا لَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ - أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ - لَهُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَفِيهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ وَثَّقَهُ دُحَيْمٌ وَضَعَّفَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ وَابْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُمْ .
Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: It was my appointed night with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slipped out of bed, and I thought that perhaps he was going to one of his other wives. So I too went out, feeling jealous, and I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in prostration, like a garment cast on the ground. I heard him saying: "My being and my thought have prostrated to You, and my heart has believed in You. O my Lord, this is my hand and what I have committed against myself. O Mighty One, who is hoped for in every great matter, forgive the great sin." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and asked: "Why did you come out?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: "A suspicion came to my mind." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some suspicion is a sin; seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty. Jibril came to me and told me to say these words that you have just heard. You too should say them in your prostration, for whoever says these words, he will be forgiven before he raises his head" (here the narrator is unsure about one word).
Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it; its chain contains Uthman bin Ata' al-Khurasani, whom Duhaym declared thiqah (trustworthy), while Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), Imam Muslim, Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared him da'if (weak).
