اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ ، وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ ، وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ " , قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : سَعِيدٌ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بَلْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ .
´It was narrated from Sa'eed, from Abu Hurairah who said:` "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'ilmin la yanfa'u, wa min qalbin la yakhsha'u, wa min nafsin la tashba'u, wa min du'a'in la yusma' (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that is of no benefit, a heart that is not humble, a soul that is not satisfied and a supplication that is not heard.)'"

(1) The purpose of the Imam, rahimahullah, is to indicate that this chain of narration is disconnected; however, the narration itself is authentic because the chain of narration in the following narration is also disconnected. And Allah knows best.
(2) "Which is not accepted"—the intent is: O Allah, protect me from those faults due to which supplication (du'a) is not accepted, such as unlawful sustenance (haram rizq), lack of sincerity, supplicating for something impermissible, etc. (For further details, see Hadith: Hadith number: 5444)

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1618. Commentary: The beginning of the night prayer (qiyam al-layl) means that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would rise for tahajjud, he used to recite these supplications before the tahajjud prayer. Among these (previous and forthcoming) supplications, there are many such supplications which, apparently, were not necessary for him, but he recited them for the instruction of his ummah, because for the members of the ummah, they are in any case needed. It can be said that his supplications were, in reality, for his ummah. (Apart from those supplications which were specific to him.)

The meaning of seeking refuge from (ḍīq al-muqām) is: O Allah! When, on the Day of Resurrection, I am presented before You to give an account of the deeds of my life,
at that time, let it not become difficult—grant that I may be relieved from the reckoning with ease.
