It is narrated from Imam al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: We were sitting in the gathering of one of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when a man came and informed him: "Look to your house; it has caught fire and burned." The Companion said: "My house has not burned." The man came again and said: "Take care of your house, for it has burned!" He said again: "By Allah, my house has not burned." At this the people asked in astonishment: "You are being informed that your house has burned, and you swear an oath denying it?" He said: "In fact, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Whoever says these words in the morning: "Inna rabbiya Allahu la ilaha illa huwa, 'alayhi tawakkaltu, wa huwa rabbu al-'arshi al-'azim, ma sha'a Allahu kan, wa ma lam yasha' lam yakun, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi al-'aliyyi al-'azim, ashhadu anna Allaha 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, wa anna Allaha qad ahata bi-kulli shay'in 'ilma, a'udhu billahi alladhi yumsiku al-sama'a an taqa'a 'ala al-ardi illa bi-idhnih, min sharri kulli dabbatin rabbi akhidhun bi-nasiyatiha, inna rabbi 'ala siratin mustaqim" (Indeed my Lord is Allah; there is no god worthy of worship except Him; in Him I have put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne. What Allah willed happened, and what He did not will cannot happen. The resolve to avoid sins and the strength to do good come only through the enabling of Allah, the Most High, the Most Great. I bear witness that Allah has power over all things and that Allah has encompassed everything in His knowledge. I seek refuge in Allah, who holds back the sky from falling upon the earth except by His own permission, from the evil of every creature whose forelock my Lord holds; indeed my Lord is on a straight path), he will not see on that day anything disliked in his own self, his family or his wealth.' And I had recited these words today."
I (Ibn Hajar) say: Imam al-Tabarani narrated it in the book 'al-Du'a' through another chain, and there the name of this Companion is explicitly mentioned as Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him); but it is not correct to take the unidentified (mubham) narrator here to mean Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him), because the sitting (meeting) of Imam al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) with Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) is not established.
