حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيِّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ) حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيُّ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ عَلِّمْنِي كَلَامًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ: «قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ».

قَالَ فَهَؤُلَاءِ لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي قَالَ: «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي». قَالَ مُوسَى أَمَّا عَافِنِي فَأَنَا أَتَوَهَّمُ وَمَا أَدْرِي. وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَوْلَ مُوسَى

A desert Arab came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said to him: Teach me the words which I should (often) utter. He said: Utter, There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Allah is the Greatest of the great and all praise is due to Him. Hallowed be Allah, the Lord of the worlds, there is no Might and Power but that of Allah, the All-Powerful and the Wise.

He (that desert Arab) said: These all (glorify) my Lord. But what about me? Thereupon he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: You should say: “ O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to righteousness and provide me sustenance.”

Musa (one of the narrators) said: I think he also said: “ Grant me safety.” But I cannot say for certain whether he said this or not. Ibn Abi Shaiba has not made a mention of the words of Musa in his narration.

ইসহাক ইবনু মানসূর, ইবনু আবূ খালাফ ও ‘আবদ ইবনু হুমায়দ (রহঃ) .... ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক মহিলা রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর কাছে এসে বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রসূল! আমার মা তার মানতের সওম বাকি রেখেই মারা গেছেন। এখন আমি কি তার পক্ষ থেকে এটা পূর্ণ করব?

তিনি বললেন, মনে কর তোমার মায়ের পক্ষ থেকে ঋণ বাকি ছিল। তুমি তা পরিশোধ করে দিলে। এতে কি তোমার মায়ের পক্ষ থেকে ঋণ পরিশোধ হয়ে যেত? সে (মহিলা) বলল, হ্যাঁ।

এবার রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তুমি তোমার মায়ের পক্ষ থেকে সওম রেখে দাও।

What it means

A man from the Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to teach him a Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) to say. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Say: "There is no god but Allah, alone with no partner," starting with the testimony of monotheism, which means that no deity is truly worthy of worship except Allah.

"Allah is the Greatest with all greatness," i.e., Allah is greater and more magnificent than everything. "And abundant praise is due to Allah," i.e., abundant praise is due to Allah for His attributes, acts, and countless favors.

"Allah, the Lord of the worlds, is exalted above imperfection," i.e., He is exalted and far above deficiency. "There is no might nor power except with Allah, the Mighty and the All-Wise," i.e., there is no change from one state to another except through Allah, His assistance and guidance.

The man said: Those words are for my Lord to remember and extoll Him, what supplication should I say for myself? So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Say: "O Allah forgive me" by erasing and concealing my sins.

"And have mercy upon me" by conveying religious and worldly interests and benefits to me. "And guide me" to the best of states and to the straight path. "And give me provision" represented in lawful gains, health, and every kind of goodness and well-being.

What it teaches

  • Encouraging the act of remembering Allah by proclaiming His oneness and His greatness and glorifying and praising Him.
  • It is recommended to remember Allah and praise Him before supplication.
  • It is recommended for one to supplicate Allah with the best and reported invocations, which combine all good things in the worldly life and the Hereafter, and he may supplicate as he wishes.
  • One should be keen on learning whatever could bring him benefit in this life and the Hereafter.
  • Encouraging the pursuit of forgiveness, mercy, and sustenance, which combine all goodness.
  • The Prophet's compassion and keenness to teach his Ummah what benefits them.
  • Mercy was mentioned after forgiveness to complete the purification process, as forgiveness refers to concealing and erasing sins besides being dragged away from Hellfire. In contrast, mercy refers to conveying good things and being admitted to Paradise, the supreme triumph.
