Hadith 1036
أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلا لُدِغَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ : أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ، مَا ضَرَّكَ " . قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِذَا لُدِغَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنَّا أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَهَا . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا ضَرَّكَ " أَرَادَ بِهِ أَنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ مَا قُلْنَا ، لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ أَلَمُ اللَّدْغِ ، لا أَنَّ الْكَلامَ الَّذِي قَالَ يَدْفَعُ قَضَاءَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man was bitten by a poisonous creature. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you had recited these words in the evening: "(I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil of what He has created)," then that thing would not have harmed you. The narrator says: Whenever any of us was bitten by a poisonous creature, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) would instruct him to recite these words. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), "Nothing will harm you," means that if you recite what we have recited, then the pain of the sting will not harm you. It does not mean that the supplication recited by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will override Allah’s decree regarding that person.
