أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، وَحَدَّثَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : الْحَرَازِيُّ شَامِيٌّ عَزِيز الْحَدِيث ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ : بِمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْتَتِحُ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ , كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ عَشْرًا ، وَيُسَبِّحُ عَشْرًا ، وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ عَشْرًا ، وَيَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، وَاهْدِنِي ، وَارْزُقْنِي ، وَعَافِنِي ، وَيَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْمَقَامِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
´It was narrated that 'Asim bin Humaid said:` "I asked 'Aishah with what the Messenger of Allah [SAW] would start Qiyam Al-Lail. She said: 'You have asked me about something that no one else has asked me about. He used to say Allahu Akbar ten times, and Subhan-Allah ten times, and Istaghfir-Allah ten times, and he would say, Allahummaghfirli, wahdini, warzuqni, wa'afini (O Allah, forgive me, guide me, grant me provision and give me good health,) and he would seek refuge from the difficulty of the standing on the Day of Resurrection.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) On the Day of Resurrection, every person will have to stand before Allah Ta'ala and answer a few questions. The distressing situation is that one may not be able to think of the answers to these questions, and will have to face anxiety. May Allah protect us from this.
(2) It is possible that this remembrance and supplication was recited before starting the prayer. Even if it is recited in place of the opening supplication (du'a al-istiftah), there is no harm in it.
