حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ

قَالَ لَقِيتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ حَدَّثْتَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ: «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ».

قَالَ أَقَطُّ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ حُفِظَ مِنِّي سَائِرَ الْيَوْمِ

I met Uqbah ibn Muslim and said to him: it has been reported to me that someone has narrated to you from the prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that when he entered the mosque, he would say: I seek refuge in Allah, the Magnificent, and in His noble face, and in his eternal domain, from the accursed Devil. He asked: is it so much only? I said: Yes. He said: when anyone says so. The devil says: he is protected from me all the day long.

হাইওয়াহ ইবনু শুরায়িহ (রহঃ) বলেন, আমি ‘উক্ববাহ্ ইবনু মুসলিমের সাথে সাক্ষাত করে বলি, আমি জানতে পারলাম যে, আপনার নিকট ‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘আমর ইবনুল ‘আস (রাঃ) এর মাধ্যমে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে এ হাদীস বর্ণনা করা হয়েছেঃ নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম মসজিদে প্রবেশের সময় বলতেনঃ ‘আমি আশ্রয় প্রার্থনা করছি, অতীব মর্যাদা ও চিরন্তন পরাক্রমশালীর অধিকারী মহান আল্লাহর নিকট বিতাড়িত শয়তান হতে।

‘উক্ববাহ্ (রাঃ) বললেন, এতটুকুই? আমি বললাম, হ্যাঁ। ‘উক্ববাহ্ (রাঃ) বললেন, কেউ এ দু‘আ পাঠ করলে শয়তান বলে, এ লোকটি আমার (অনিষ্ট ও কুমন্ত্রণা) থেকে সারা দিনের জন্য বেঁচে গেল।[1] সহীহ : বুখারী ও মুসলিম।

حیوہ بن شریح کہتے ہیں کہ میں عقبہ بن مسلم سے ملا تو میں نے ان سے کہا: مجھے یہ خبر پہنچی ہے کہ آپ نے عبداللہ بن عمرو بن العاص رضی اللہ عنہما سے اور انہوں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی ہے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب مسجد میں تشریف لے جاتے تو فرماتے: «أعوذ بالله العظيم وبوجهه الكريم وسلطانه القديم من الشيطان الرجيم» ( میں اللہ عظیم کی، اس کی ذات کریم کی اور اس کی قدیم بادشاہت کی مردود شیطان سے پناہ چاہتا ہوں ) تو عقبہ نے کہا: کیا بس اتنا ہی؟

میں نے کہا: ہاں، انہوں نے کہا: جب مسجد میں داخل ہونے والا آدمی یہ کہتا ہے تو شیطان کہتا ہے: اب وہ میرے شر سے دن بھر کے لیے محفوظ کر لیا گیا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Bisyr bin Manshur] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrahman bin Mahdi] dari [Abdullah bin Al Mubarak] dari [Haiwah bin Syuraih] dia berkata; Saya pernah bertemu dengan [Uqbah bin Muslim], lalu saya bertanya kepadanya; Telah sampai kepadaku bahwa engkau menceritakan hadits dari [Abdullah bin Amru bin Al-'Ash] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, bahwasanya beliau apabila masuk ke masjid mengucapkan: "A'uudzu billahil Azhim wa bi Wajhihil Karim wa Shulthanihil Qadim minasy syaithanirrajim (aku berlindung kepada Allah yang Maha Agung dan kepada Wajah-Nya yang Maha Mulia dan kepada kekuasaan-Nya yang Qadim, dari gangguan syetan yang terkutuk)."

Dia bertanya; Apakah itu saja? Aku menjawab: Ya! Dia kemudian meneruskan; Barangsiapa membaca itu, maka syetan akan berkata kepadanya; Dia terjaga dariku sehari ini penuh

Hayve b. Şüreyh dedi ki; Ukbe b. Müslim ile karşılaştım ve O’na: "Duydum ki, sen Abdullah b. Amr b. el-As'tan Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'İn mescide girerken: "Lanetlenmiş şeytandan, ulu Allah'a, O'nun kerim zatına ve kadim kuvvet ve galebesine sığınırım” diye dua ettiğini rivayet etmişsin, öyle mi?,dedim. Hepsi bu kadar mı?

dedi. Evet, dedim. Dedi ki: Mescide giren bunu söyleyince şeytan: "Günün geri kalan kısmında da benden emin oldu" der. Hadisi sadece Ebu Dayud rivayet etmiştir

Sunan Abi Dawud 466, Book 2, Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Hadith 76. 1 min read

What it means

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque, he would say: "I seek refuge with Allah, the Majestic" i.e., I resort and turn for help to Allah and His attributes.

"and in His noble Countenance" i.e., the Generous Giver. "and in His eternal dominion" i.e., His dominance, power, and the ability to vanquish anyone of His creation He wills. 'eternal' i.e., permanent, timeless.

"from the accursed devil", who is banished and expelled from the mercy of Allah. i.e., O Allah, protect me from his whisperings, his temptations, his steps, his ideas, his insinuations, and his misguidance, for he is the one who causes misguidance and leads to temptation and ignorance.

It was said to ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr: "Is that all?" i.e., did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say that only? He said: Yes. If a person says this supplication upon entering the mosque, the devil will say: He has protected himself from me the whole time, during the day and night.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth demonstrates the merit of saying this Dhikr upon entering the mosque and that it protects the one who says it from the devil for the rest of the day.
  • It warns of the devil and points out that he lies in wait for the Muslim to misguide and allure him.
  • A person is protected from the misguidance and deviation of the devil in proportion to how much he believes in Allah in his heart and how much he is mindful of this supplication and believes Allah's promise that results from it.
