حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَاعِدٍ ، ثنا أَبُو عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِسَعِيدٍ ، قَالا : ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ كَرَامَةَ ، وَأَبُو شَيْبَةَ ، قَالا : نا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، ثنا مِسْعَرٌ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ : فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يُجْزِينِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنِّي لا أَقْرَأُ ، قَالَ : " قُلْ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ " ، قَالَ : فَضَمَّ عَلَيْهَا بِيَدِهِ ، وَقَالَ : هَذَا لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي ؟ قَالَ : " قُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي " ، فَضَمَّ بِيَدِهِ الأُخْرَى وَقَامَ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned that he could not memorize the Qur’an. The narrator named Ibn ‘Uyaynah has reported these words: He said, “O Messenger of Allah! Teach me something that will be in place of the Qur’an for me, because I cannot recite.” So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Recite this supplication: ‘Allah is Pure, all praise is due to Allah, there is no deity except Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power nor strength except with Allah.’” The narrator states: He closed his fingers (to memorize these words) and then said, “This is for the praise of my Lord; what will be for me (as a supplication)?” So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Supplicate: ‘O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, keep me steadfast on guidance, grant me sustenance, and grant me well-being.’” (The narrator says) So he closed the fingers of his other hand (to memorize these words) and got up (and left).
Hadith 1196
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ زَنْجُوَيْهِ ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أنا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَلَيْسَ ، بِالنَّخَعِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، أَنَّ رَجُلا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي لا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ فَمَا يُجْزِينِي فِي صَلاتِي ، قَالَ : " تَقُولُ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ : هَذَا لِلَّهِ فَمَا لِي ؟ قَالَ : " تَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي " ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ مَلأَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَقَبَضَ كَفَّيْهِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I cannot learn the Qur'an, so what will be sufficient for me to recite in prayer?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite this: 'Allah is Pure, all praise is due to Allah, nothing can happen without Allah's help, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no deity except Allah.'" The man said: "This is for Allah, what will there be for me (as supplication)?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite this: 'O Allah! Forgive me! Have mercy on me! Provide for me, keep me steadfast on guidance, and grant me well-being.'" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man has filled both his hands with goodness." (The narrator says) The man had closed both his fists (i.e., he counted these words on his fingers and then closed his hands).
Hadith 1197
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَسَلْمُ بْنُ جُنَادَةَ ، قَالا : نا وَكِيعٌ ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالانِيِّ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّكْسَكِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي لا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا عَلِّمْنِي مَا يُجْزِينِي مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : " قُلْ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ " ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا لِلَّهِ فَمَا لِي ؟ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I am unable to learn the Qur'an, so teach me a supplication that will suffice me in its place." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Recite this: 'In the name of Allah (I begin my work seeking blessing), all praise is due to Allah alone, there is no deity except Allah, Allah is the Greatest.'" The man said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is for Allah, what will be for me?" (After this, the narrator mentioned the rest of the hadith as previously stated).
Hadith 1198
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ، ثنا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْوَرْدِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، وَسُئِلَتْ عَنْ آيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَقَالَتْ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الم { 1 } اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ { 2 } نزل عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ آمَنَّا بِهِ سورة آل عمران آية 1ـ7 ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ أُولَئِكَ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ " .
Ibn Abi Mulaika (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I heard Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she was asked about a verse of the Qur'an, so she recited: "I begin with the name of Allah, seeking blessing, Who is Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Alif Lam Meem. Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer. He has sent down upon you the Book." This verse is up to: "But those in whose hearts is deviation follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking its interpretation. And no one knows its interpretation except Allah. And those firm in knowledge say: 'We believe in it.'" Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When you see such people, they are the ones Allah has mentioned, so beware of them.
