٣١٣٥٢ - حدثنا معاوية بن هشام عن سفيان عن (أبي) (١) مصعب وهو عطاء عن أبيه عن كعب قال: كان إذا أفطر استقبل القبلة، وقال: اللهم خلصني من كل مصيبة الليلة نزلت من السماء (ثلاثًا) (٢)، وإذا طلع حاجب الشمس قال: اللهم اجعل لي سهما في كل حسنة نزلت الليلة من السماء إلى الأرض -ثلاثًا، قال: فقيل له: (قال) (٣): دعوة داود فلينوا بها ألسنتكم وأشعروها قلوبكم.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Marwan that when Hazrat Ka'b would break his fast, he would face the Qiblah and supplicate three times as follows: O Allah! Grant me deliverance from every calamity that will descend from the sky at night. And when the edges of the sun would rise, he would supplicate three times as follows: O Allah! Appoint for me a share in every goodness that descends from the sky to the earth at night. The narrator says: Then he was asked about this supplication, so he replied: It is the supplication of Dawud; therefore, soften your tongues with this supplication, and make it a sign in your hearts.
