Hadith of Nawfal al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 23807
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَقَالَ : " إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ ظِئْرِي " ، قَالَ : فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا فَعَلَتْ الْجَارِيَةُ أَوْ الْجُوَيْرِيَةُ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : عِنْدَ أُمِّهَا ، قَالَ : " فَمَجِيءُ مَا جِئْتَ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : تُعَلِّمُنِي مَا أَقُولُ عِنْدَ مَنَامِي ، فَقَالَ : " اقْرَأْ عِنْدَ مَنَامِكَ : قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ قَالَ : ثُمَّ نَمْ عَلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Naufal Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted the daughter of Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) to me and said, "Her upbringing is your responsibility on my behalf." After some time, I again presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he asked me, "What happened to that girl?" I replied, "She is with her mother." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What brings you here?" I said, "Please teach me a supplication that I may recite when I go to sleep." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Recite Surah Al-Kafirun, and go to sleep while reciting its last verse, for this is a declaration of disassociation from shirk (polytheism)."
