حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ الضَّرِيرُ قَالَ : نَا شَبِيبُ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- لِأَبِي : كَمْ تَعْبُدُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَهًا ؟ قَالَ : سَبْعَةً ، سِتٌّ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، وَوَاحِدٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، قَالَ : I " فَأَيُّهُمْ تَعُدُّ لِرَغْبَتِكَ وَرَهْبَتِكَ ؟ I " قَالَ : الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ ، فَقَالَ : I " يَا حُصَيْنُ ، أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَّمْتُكَ كَلِمَتَيْنِ تَنْفَعَانِكَ I " . قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ حُصَيْنٌ ، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي الْكَلِمَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ وَعَدْتَنِي . قَالَ : فَقَالَ : I " اللَّهُمَّ أَلْهِمْنِي رُشْدِي ، وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي . لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ إِلَّا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his father (Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him)): "How many gods do you worship these days?" He said: "Seven; six are on earth and one is in the heavens." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Then which of them do you count on for (your needs of) hope and fear?" He said: "The One who is in the heavens." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Husayn! Know that if you accept Islam, I will teach you two phrases that will benefit you." The narrator says: Then when Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me the two phrases that you promised me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Allahumma alhimni rushdi, wa a'idhni min sharri nafsi' (O Allah, inspire me with my right guidance (and good), and protect me from the evil of my own self)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Shabib bin Shaybah except Abu Mu'awiyah."
