466 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فَقَالَ: «يَا عَبَّاسُ سَلِ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فَقَالَ «يَا عَبَّاسُ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فَقَالَ «يَا عَبَّاسُ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ رُبَّمَا قَالَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَكْثَرَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me a supplication which I may ask for." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abbas! Ask Allah, the Exalted, for forgiveness and well-being." He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me a supplication which I may ask for." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abbas! O uncle of the Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah, the Exalted, for forgiveness and well-being." He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me a supplication which I may ask for." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abbas! O uncle of the Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah, the Exalted, for forgiveness and well-being."

Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The narrator named Sufyan, while narrating this tradition, sometimes transmits these words that Abdullah bin Harith narrated this, that Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah!" However, most of the time he narrated it as Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrating: He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!"
