Musnad Abi Ya'la 4236 — he said: My mother took me to the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقَتْ بِي أُمِّي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، خُوَيْدِمُكَ فَادْعُ اللهَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ ، وَأَطِلْ عُمُرَهُ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُ ، قَالَ : فَكَثُرَ مَالِي حَتَّى صَارَ يُطْعِمُ فِي السَّنَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، وَكَثُرَ وَلَدِي حَتَّى قَدْ دَفَنْتُ مِنْ صُلْبِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةٍ ، وَطَالَ عُمُرِي حَتَّى قَدِ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي ، وَاشْتَقْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي ، وَأَمَّا الرَّابِعَةَ ، يَعْنِي الْمَغْفِرَةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: My mother took me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this is your little servant, so supplicate to Allah Almighty for him." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: "Allahumma akthir malahu wa waladahu, wa atil 'umurahu, waghfir lahu" (O Allah, increase his wealth and his children, lengthen his life and forgive him). Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "So (by the blessing of this supplication) my wealth increased so much that my orchard began to bear fruit twice a year; my children became so many that I have myself buried more than a hundred of my own offspring; and my life has become so long that I now feel shy before my family, and I long to meet my Lord. As for the fourth thing, that is, forgiveness (I have full hope for that too)."
