Hadith 2572

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنِ اسْتَجَارَ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، قَالَتِ النَّارُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " , قَالَ : هَكَذَا رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ مَوْقُوفًا أَيْضًا .
´Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "Whoever asks Allah (s.w.t) Paradise three times, Paradise says: 'O Allah, admit him into Paradise', and whoever seeks refuge from the Fire three times, the Fire says: 'O Allah, save him from the Fire.'" Other chains report similar narrations.

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:


It is Sunnah to supplicate three times.


One should continue to supplicate to Allah for entry into Paradise (Jannah) and for protection from the Fire (Jahannam).


Paradise (Jannah) and the Fire (Jahannam) do not supplicate for anyone except by Allah’s command; therefore, their supplicating indicates that Allah, the Exalted, wishes to accept their supplication and admit that person into Paradise.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Paradise, Hell, and the Fire, etc., are all creations of Allah Ta'ala. They speak to Allah Ta'ala, and Allah Ta'ala speaks to them. No one should have any objection or difficulty regarding this. The statement of Allah Ta'ala is: “There is not a thing except that it glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification.” (: Bani Isra'il 17:44) Here, there is no need to delve into the discussion of state (hal) or speech (qal). This is a matter between the Creator and the creation.
