Hadith 5488

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ ، قَالَ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ , أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أَضِلَّ ، أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ ، أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ " .
´It was narrated from Umm Salamah that :` When the Prophet [SAW] went out of his house, he said: "Bismillahi Rabbi! A'udhu bika min an azilla aw adilla aw azlima aw uzlama, aw ajhala aw yujhala 'alayya (In the name of Allah, my Lord, I seek refuge in You from falling into error or going astray, or wrongdoing (others) or being wronged, and from behaving or being treated in an ignorant manner.)"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
“Improper conduct” is the translation of ignorance. Ignorance is the opposite of knowledge. All the harms that can arise from ignorance will be referred to as ignorance itself. In matters of the rights of people (huquq al-‘ibad), ignorance becomes the cause of improper conduct, because when one does not have knowledge of another’s rights, how can one behave properly with them?

Explanation:
1:
I begin in the name of Allah,
I place my trust in Allah,
O Allah, I seek Your protection from deviating from truth and correctness,
or from being led astray from the path of truth,
or that I commit injustice against someone or that injustice is done to me,
or that I behave ignorantly towards someone or that someone behaves ignorantly towards me.

Benefits and Issues:

There is a difference of opinion regarding the chain of narration of this report.
Because of this, according to some scholars it is weak, according to others it is authentic, and according to yet others it is hasan.
And Allah knows best.


This is an extremely great and comprehensive supplication.
And indeed, without the special grace of Allah, it is impossible for a person
to attain outward and inward goodness,
or to receive good from others, or to be protected from their evil.

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain (sanad) by our esteemed researcher and some other scholars. However, Shaykh al-Albani and Dr. Bashar Awwad have declared it authentic (sahih). Both of these latter shuyukh have erred in authenticating this narration. The correct and preferred opinion is that this narration is weak, because it is not established that al-Sha‘bi heard from Umm Salamah (radi Allahu anha). In addition, the other two narrations in this chapter are also, by consensus of the researchers, weak. Therefore, to our knowledge, there is no Sunnah supplication (masnun du‘a) for when leaving the house. And Allah knows best.
