(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
شُعْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ : " سَلْ تُعْطَهْ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ " ، فَابْتَدَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : مَا بَادَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى شَيْءٍ ، إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ : مِنْ دُعَائِي الَّذِي لَا أَكَادُ أَدَعُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَبِيدُ ، وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ ، وَمُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ ، جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was praying when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said from a distance: "O Ibn Umm 'Abd! Ask, you will be given." There was a competition between the two Shaykhs to convey this good news to me. Sayyiduna 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that whenever Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) competed with me in any matter, he always surpassed me. In any case, both of them asked him about his supplication, so he said that I never abandon this supplication: «اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَبِيدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ» "O Allah! I ask You for such blessings that never end, for such coolness of the eyes that never ceases, and I ask You for the companionship of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the eternal Paradise."
