حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ الْمَاجِشُونُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَبْدِ، الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ: «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ.

أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاهْدِنِي لأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلَاقِ لَا يَهْدِي لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ فِي يَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ».

وَإِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَمُخِّي وَعَظْمِي وَعَصَبِي». وَإِذَا رَفَعَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدُ».

وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَصَوَّرَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ». ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا يَقُولُ بَيْنَ التَّشَهُّدِ وَالتَّسْلِيمِ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ»

When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) got up at night for prayer he would say: I turn my face in complete devotion to One Who is the Originator of the heaven and the earth and I am not of the polytheists. Verily my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; There is no partner with Him and this is what I have been commanded (to profess and believe) and I am of the believers.

O Allah, Thou art the King, there is no god but Thee, Thou art my Lord, and I am Thy bondman. I wronged myself and make a confession of my Sin. Forgive all my sins, for no one forgives the sins but Thee, and guide me in the best of conduct for none but Thee guideth anyone (in) good conduct. Remove sins from me, for none else but Thou can remove sins from me.

Here I am at Thy service, and Grace is to Thee and the whole of good is in Thine hand, and one cannot get nearneststo Thee through evil. My (power as well as existence) is due to Thee (Thine grace) and I turn to Thee (for supplication). Thou art blessed and Thou art exalted. I seek forgiveness from Thee and turn to Thee in repentance: and when he would bow, he would say: O Allah, it is for Thee that I bowed.

I affirm my faith in Thee and I submit to Thee, and submit humbly before Thee my hearing, my eyesight, my marrow, my bone, my sinew; and when he would raise his head, he would say: O Allah, our Lord, praise is due to Thee, (the praise) with which is filled the heavens and the earth, and with which is filled that (space) which exists between them, and filled with anything that Thou desireth afterward.

And when he prostrated himself, he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) would say: O Allah, it is to Thee that I prostrate myself and it is in Thee that I affirm my faith, and I submit to Thee. My face is submitted before One Who created it, and shaped it, and opened his faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of Creators; and he would then say between Tashahhud and the pronouncing of salutation: Forgive me of the earlier and later open and secret (sins) and that where I made transgression and that Thou knowest better than I. Thou art the First and the Last. There is no god, but Thee.

আর তার উভয় চোখ আকাশের দিকে নিবদ্ধ হল। তারপর তিনি দাঁড়িয়ে বললেন, আমার লুঙ্গি আমার লুঙ্গি। এরপর তার লুঙ্গি পরিয়ে দেয়া হল। ইবনু রাফি তার রিওয়ায়াতে কাঁধের স্থলে ঘাড়ের উল্লেখ করেছেন।

اسحاق بن ابراہیم حنظلی اور محمد بن حاتم نے محمد بن بکر سے روایت کی ، دونوں نےکہا : ہمیں ابن جریج نےخبر دی ، نیز اسحاق بن منصور اور محمد بن رافع نے ( اور یہ الفاظ ان دونوں کے ہیں ) عبد الرزاق کے حوالے سے ابن جریج سے حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں ( ابن جریج ) نے کہا : مجھے عمرو بن دینار نے خبر دی کہ انہوں نے حضرت جابر ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے سنا ،

کہہ رہے تھے : جب کعبہ تعمیر کیا گیا توعبا ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ اور نبی ﷺ پتھر ڈھونے لگے ، حضرت عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نے نبی ﷺ سے کہا : پتھروں سے حفاظت کے لیے اپنا تہبند اٹھا کر کندھے پر رکھ لیجیے ۔ آپ نے ایسا کیا تو آپ زمین پر گر گئے اورآنکھیں ( اوپر ہو کر ) آسمان پر ٹک گئیں ، پھر آپ اٹھے اور کہا : ’’میرا تہبند ، میرا تہبند ۔

‘ ‘ تو آپ کا تہبند آپ کو کس کر باندھ دیا گیا ۔ ابن رافع کی روایت میں على رقبتك ( اپنی گردن پر ) کے الفاظ ہیں ، انہوں علی عاتقک ( اپنے کندھے پر ) نہیں کہا ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ishaq bin Ibrahim al-Hanzhali] dan [Muhammad bin Hatim bin Maimun] semuanya meriwayatkan dari [Muhammad bin Bakr] dia berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Juraij] --lewat jalur periwayatan lain-- dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ishaq bin Manshur] dan [Muhammad bin Rafi'] dan lafazh tersebut milik keduanya.

Ishaq berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami sedangkan Ibnu Rafi' berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrazzaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Juraij] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Amr bin Dinar] bahwa dia mendengar [Jabir bin Abdullah] dia berkata, "Ketika Ka'bah dibangun, Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam. bersama Abbas pergi untuk mengangkat batu.

Maka Abbas berkata kepada Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam, 'Angkatkan kainmu ke bahumu untuk alas batu. Maka beliau melakukannya, lalu beliau jatuh tersungkur lalu beliau mendongakkan kedua matanya ke langit, kemudian berdiri sambil berkata, 'Kainku, kainku'. Kemudian Beliau memakai kain tersebut."

Ibnu Rafi' berkata dalam riwayatnya, "Angkatlah di atas lehermu" dan bukan berkata, "Di atas pundakmu

Bize İshak b. İbrahim el-Hanzali ve Muhammed b. Hatim b. Meymun da tahdis etti. İkisi birlikte Muhammed b. Bekr'den şöyle dediğini nakletti: Bize İbn Cureyc haber verdi (H). Bana İshak b. Mansur ile Muhammed b. Rafi' de tahdis etti. -Lafız bu son ikisinindir.- İshak Bize Abdurrezzak haber verdi derken, İbn Rafi': Bize tahdis etti demiştir.

Bize İbn Cureyc haber verdi, bana Amr b. Dinar'ın haber verdiğine göre o Cabir b. Abdullah'ı şöyle derken dinledi: Kabe bina edildiğinde Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) ile Abbas taş taşımaya gittiler. Abbas, Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'e: Taşın (iz bırakmaması) için elbiseni omuzuna koy, dedi. Allah Resulü bunu yapınca yere yığılıp, kaldı ve gözleri de semaya doğru bakakaldı.

Sonra ayağa kalkınca: "Elbisemi, elbisemi (verin)" dedi ve elbisesini üzerine bağladı. İbn Rafi' rivayetinde: Elbiseni boynuna koy demiş, omuzuna koy, dememiştir. Diğer tahric: Buhari, 1582, 3829; Tuhfetu'l-Eşraf

What it means

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) got up for prayer, he would say: “I have turned my face to the One who created the heavens and the earth,” meaning that I direct my worship to Allah, I devote my worship to Allah who created the heavens and the earth without precedent, and I turn away from any other than Him.

The One who originated all these creatures with such creativity and precision truly deserves that all faces turn to Him, and all hearts rely on Him in all their states; turning not to other than Him, and hoping for nothing but His perpetual contentment and grace.

“…in complete devotion and I am not one of the polytheists” meaning that I am leaning away from all false religions and inclining towards the true religion; Islam, and remaining firm upon it. Among the Arabs, Islam prevailed over everyone who was following the religion of Ibrahīm (peace be upon him).

Then he said: “Verily my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; there is no partner with Him and this is what I have been commanded (to profess and believe) and I am of the Muslims,” meaning that my prayer, my worship, and my efforts to draw closer are all devoted to Allah. I do not have partners alongside Him.

Likewise is my life and my death; Allah is the One who created and decreed them, and no one but Him disposes of them. There is no partner with Him in His essence, His attributes, and His actions. My Lord commanded me to worship Him alone with such devotion, and I am of the believers who yield and submit to Him, Exalted is He.

Then he said: “O Allah, You are the Sovereign; there is no god but You. You are my Lord, and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I have admitted my sin, so forgive all my sins, for no one forgives sins but You,” meaning, O Allah, You are the King and there is no king but You; and verily, there is no sovereignty for anyone but You.

You alone possess Divinity, and there is no god but but You. You are my Lord and I am Your slave; I have wronged myself by being unmindful of You and by committing sins and acts of disobedience. I have acknowledged my sins, so forgive them for me, because no one forgives sins but You. You are the Oft-Forgiving and the Superb Forgiver.

Then he said: “Guide me to the best of morals for none can guide to them but You, and deliver me from the worst of morals for none can deliver me from them but You,” meaning, show me the way, grant me steadfastness, and help me attain the best conduct in your worship and all other good conduct, what is open and what is secret in them, for You are the One who guides to them and there is no other guide than You.

Keep me away and protect me from bad conduct, because no one can keep me away and protect me from it but You. Then he said: “Here I am, in answer to Your call, happy to serve You”; meaning that I am ever obedient to You, and I am always glad to hold fast to worshiping You and to answering Your call.

Then he said: “All good is within Your hands,” meaning that all good is in Your disposition (of affairs). You are the Possessor of all goodness and You dispose of it the way You will.

“…and evil does not stem from You,” meaning that evil does not lie in Your actions; it only lies in what You created but not in Your actions, Exalted are You. Evil is not attributed to Allah in any way, not in His essence, His attributes, His actions or His names. His essence is absolutely perfect in all aspects. His attributes are those of perfection for which He is praised and lauded.

His actions are all good, merciful, just, wise, and totally devoid of evil. And His names are all beautiful; so how can evil be attributed to Him? Rather, evil is in what He created, and He is detached from it. There is a distinction between His actions and His creation; His action is all good, but the creation comprises both good and evil.

If evil is a separate stand-alone creation, it is not attributed to Him. There is no supportive argument in this for the Mu‘tazilite claim that Allah did not create evil. Allah created good and evil and He created all things, Exalted may He be.

“I exist by You and I turn to You,” meaning that I seek refuge in You, I rely on You, I take shelter with You, I undertake everything with Your help, and I turn to You; or, I worship You alone and my affairs lie with You alone. You are the start and You are the destination.

It was also said that it means I seek Your help and I turn to You. “Blessed and exalted may You be,” meaning may You be glorified and lauded, may Your graces multiply, and may You be exalted far above what imaginations fancy and what minds conceptualize. Exalted are You above every deficiency and flaw.

“I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You,” meaning that I ask forgiveness for my past sins, and I refrain from sinning in what is left of my life, turning to You to grant me success and steadfastness until the day I die. When he bowed, he would say: “O Allah, it is for You that I bowed, it is in You that I believed, and it is to You that I submitted.

Humbled to You are my hearing, my eyesight, my mind, my bones, and my tendons,” meaning that my bowing is devoted to You alone. I have believed in You and submitted to You. All my body – my hearing, sight, mind, bones and tendons – humbly follow Your command. When he rose from bowing, he would say: “O Allah, our Lord, praise is due to You, (praise) that fills the heavens and the earth, that fills what exists between them, and that fills anything You desire afterward,” meaning that I praise You with an amount of praise that, if it were tangible, it would fill the heavens and the earth and whatever You wish it to fill of Your creation after filling the heavens and the earth.

When he prostrated himself, he would say: “O Allah, it is to You that I prostrated myself, it is in You that I affirmed my faith, and it is to You that I submitted. My face has prostrated to the One who created it, shaped it and split open its faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed is Allah, the best of Creators,” meaning that my prostration is to You alone, sincerely devoted to You.

I have believed in You, yielded to You, and all my senses, which You created and shaped, humbly follow Your command. Blessed is Allah, the best of Creators. Then, one of the last things he would say between the Tashahhud and Taslīm is: “O Allah, forgive my past and future sins, my hidden and apparent sins, my transgression, and the sins that You know of more than I do.

You are the One who puts forward and the One who holds back. There is no deity worthy of worship but You,” meaning forgive my early and my later sins; as if he is saying: forgive the old and the new sins.

“…my hidden and apparent sins,” meaning forgive the sins that I kept secret and those that I made public, or the sins I thought about inside my head and those that my tongue spoke of.

“…my transgression,” meaning the sins and acts of disobedience that I went too far in. “…and the sins that You know of more than I do,” meaning forgive my sins that I do not know about.

“You are the One who puts forward and the One who holds back,” meaning that You advance whomever You will in worship and obedience and You hold back whomever You will from that, as Your wisdom dictates. You grant honor to whoever You will and You cause humiliation to whoever You will.

“There is no god but You,” meaning that there is no god who truly deserves to be worshiped but You.
