حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ نُمَيْرٍ)

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآَخَرَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، وَعَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ: لَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِلاَّ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا»

I am not going to say anything but only that which the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to say. He used to supplicate: “ O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from sloth, from cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude and from torment of the grave. O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier thereof.

Thou art the Protecting Friend thereof, and Guardian thereof. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allah), from the soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded.”

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ ও আমর আন্‌ নাকিদ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ সালামাহ্ (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি আয়িশাহ্ (রাযিঃ) কে রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম।

তিনি বলেন, কখনো কখনো একাধারে সিয়াম পালন করে যেতেন যে, আমরা বলতাম, তিনি সিয়াম পালন করে যাচ্ছেন (হয়ত আর বিরত হবেন না)। আবার তিনি কখনো কখনো একাধারে সিয়াম পালন না করে অতিবাহিত করতেন যে, আমরা বলতাম, হয়ত তিনি আর সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) পালন করবেন না। আমি তাকে শা'বান মাসের চেয়ে অন্য কোন মাসে এত অধিক (নাফল) সিয়াম পালন করতে দেখিনি।

তিনি পুরো শাবান মাসেই সিয়াম পালন করতেন (অর্থাৎ কয়েক দিন ছাড়া পূর্ণ শাবান মাস সিয়াম পালন করতেন)। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২৫৮৯, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

ابن ابی لبید نے ابو سلمہ سے روایت کی ، کہا : میں نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے روزوں کے بار ے میں پوچھا توانھوں نے بتایا : آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم مسلسل روزے رکھتے حتیٰ کہ ہم کہتے : آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے ترک نہیں کریں گے اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے چھوڑ دیتے حتیٰ کہ ہم کہتے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے نہیں رکھیں گے ،

اورمیں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو کسی اور مہینے میں شعبان کےروزوں کی نسبت زیادہ روزے رکھتے نہیں دیکھا ، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( گویا ) پورے شعبان کے ر وزے رکھتے تھے ، محض چند دن چھوڑ کر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پورا شعبان روزے رکھتے تھے ۔

Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] dan [Amru An Naqid] semuanya dari [Ibnu Uyainah] - [Abu Bakr] berkata- Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan bin Uyainah] dari [Ibnu Abu Labid] dari [Abu Salamah] ia berkata, saya pernah bertanya kepada [Aisyah] radliallahu 'anha tentang puasa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, maka ia pun berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam sering berpuasa hingga kami mengira bahwa beliau akan puasa seterusnya.

Dan beliau sering berbuka (tidak puasa) sehingga kami mengira beliau akan berbuka (tidak puasa) terus-menerus. Dan aku tidak pernah melihat beliau berpuasa terus sebulan penuh kecuali Ramadlan. Dan aku juga tidak pernah melihat beliau puasa sunnah dalam sebulan yang lebih banyak dariada puasanya di bulan Sya'ban. Beliau berpuasa pada bulan Sya'ban hingga sisa harinya tinggal sedikit

Bize Ebû Bekir b. Ebî Şeybe ile Amru'n-Nâkıd hep birden İbni Uyeyne'den rivayet ettiler. Ebû Bekir (Dediki) Bize Süfyân b. Uyeyne, İbni Ebî Lebîd'den o da Ebû Seleme'den naklen rivayet etti: Ebû Seleme şöyle demiş: Âişe (Radiyallahû anha)'ya ResûluIIah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in orucunu sordum da şunları söyledi : «Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) o kadar çok oruç tutardı ki biz: Artık hep oruç tutacak derdik.

(Bazen) orucu o kadar bırakırdı ki: Artık hiç tutmayacak, derdik. Ben onun hiç bir ayda Şa'ban ayındakinden daha çok oruç tuttuğunu görmedim. Şa'ban ayını bütün tutardı. Onda orucu pek az bırakırdı.» İzah için buraya tıklayın DİKKAT BU LİNK BİR SONRAKİ SAYFANIN LİNKİNİN AYNIDIR. SADECE BU SAYFA’YI AÇAN İÇİN KOLAYLIK AMAÇLIDIR, SORUN DEĞİL

What it means

One of the supplications of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was: "O Allah, I seek refuge with You" and turn to You alone "from inability", meaning the inability to act effectively, "indolence", meaning the lack of will to act. The incapable cannot act, and the lazy does not want to.

"Cowardice", which is refraining from doing what ought to be done, "miserliness", which is withholding what must be given, "decrepitude", which leads to the weakening of the body, "and torment of the grave", and from the causes that lead to it.

"O Allah, grant me the sense of piety” and guide my soul to obey You and avoid disobedience, "and purify my soul" and cleanse it from vices and lowly traits. "You are the best to purify it" and no one can purify it except You.

"You are its Protector", its helper, caretaker, "and its "Guardian", the One Who manages its affairs, its Lord, Owner, and Bestower of blessings. "O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that is not beneficial," such as astrology, sorcery, magic, or any knowledge that brings no benefit in the Hereafter, or knowledge that is not acted upon.

"From a heart that does not fear" You, that neither submits nor finds peace and stillness in Your remembrance. "From a soul that is not satisfied", always greedy and discontent with what Allah has lawfully provided. "And from a supplication" that is rejected and "not answered".

What it teaches

  • It is recommended to seek refuge with Allah from the things mentioned in the Hadīth.
  • Encouraging piety, spreading knowledge, and acting upon it.
  • Beneficial knowledge is that which purifies the soul and generates in it fear of the Almighty Lord that flows to all body parts.
  • The submissive heart is that which fears and trembles at the remembrance of Allah, then softens and finds tranquility.
  • Condemnation of greed for the worldly life and the inability to be satisfied with its desires and pleasures, for the craving, greedy soul that longs for worldly gains is a person's worst enemy. That is why the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge from it.
  • A servant should avoid the causes that lead to rejection of supplication and its lack of response.
  • An-Nawawi said: This Hadīth and other supplications that include rhymed phrases serve as evidence for what the scholars have stated—that the blameworthy rhyming in supplication is that of affectation, for it takes away humility, submissiveness, and sincerity, and distracts from earnest pleading, neediness, and an attentive heart. But as for what occurs without effort or affectation, due to perfect eloquence and the like, or what is memorized, then there is no harm in it—rather, it is good.
