Hadith 17114

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ شَدَّادُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا ، فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ : ائْتِنَا بِالسَُّفْرَةِ نَعْبَثْ بِهَا ، فَأَنْكَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِكَلِمَةٍ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَّا وَأَنَا أَخْطِمُهَا وَأَزُمُّهَا غَيْرَ كَلِمَتِي هَذِهِ ، فَلَا تَحْفَظُوهَا عَلَيَّ ، وَاحْفَظُوا مِنِّي مَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا كَنَزَ النَّاسُ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ ، فَاكْنِزُوا هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ ، وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ لِسَانًا صَادِقًا ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ " .
Hassan bin Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) was on a journey, and when he camped at a place, he said to his servant, "Bring a knife, we will play with it." I expressed astonishment at this, so he said, "Since I accepted Islam, I have always restrained my tongue when speaking, but this sentence slipped from my mouth today. Do not remember it, and what I am about to say now, remember it. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'When people are gathering treasures of gold and silver, you should gather the treasure of these words: O Allah! I ask You for steadfastness in the religion, firmness upon guidance, the ability to give thanks for Your blessings, the ability to worship You in the best manner, a sound heart, and a truthful tongue. I also ask You for the good of what You know, and seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for all those sins which You know, for surely You are the Knower of the unseen.'"
