Fiqh al-Adiyah wa-al-AdhkarAbd al-Razzaq ibn Abd al-Muhsin al-Badr

by al-Tabarānī, through a good chain of transmission, from Ubāda ibn al-Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him), who reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and women, Allah will record for him one good deed for every believing man and woman.”1.

Consider—may Allah have mercy on you—the immensity and abundance of the reward resulting from this supplication. When a Muslim says in his supplication, “O Allah, forgive the Muslim men and women, the believing men and women, the living among them and the dead,” he receives one good deed for every Muslim man and woman and every believing man and woman, from the earliest generations to the latest. These are countless good deeds, for none but Allah, mighty and exalted, can enumerate all the Muslims of the earlier and later generations.

This great supplication was therefore among the supplications of the prophets. Allah commanded the last of them, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), to make it, and mentioned it among the qualities for which He praised His believing servants. Allah Almighty said, relating the words of Noah (peace be upon him): “My Lord, forgive me, my parents, whoever enters my house as a believer, and the believing men and women.”2 He also said, relating the words of Abraham (peace be upon him): “Our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the Reckoning is established.”3 Allah Almighty also commanded His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): “Know, then, that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and seek forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and women.”4 And Allah Almighty said of His believing servants who came after

للطبراني بإسناد حسن عن عُبادة بن الصامت ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " مَن استغفر للمؤمنين والمؤمنات، كتب الله له بكلِّ مؤمنٍ ومؤمنَة حسنةً "١. فتأمَّل ـ رحِمكَ الله ـ عِظمَ هذا الأجر المترتِّب على هذا الدعاء وكثرته، فالمسلمُ عندما يقول في دعائه: اللَّهمَّ اغفر للمسلمين والمسلمات، والمؤمنين والمؤمنات، الأحياء منهم والأموات، يكون له بكلِّ واحد من المسلمين والمسلمات والمؤمنين والمؤمنات المتقدِّمين منهم والمتأخرين حسنة، فهي حسنات لا تُحصى، فأعداد المسلمين المتقدِّمين والمتأخرين لا يُحصيهم إلاَّ الله جلَّ وعلا، ولهذا كان هذا الدعاءُ العظيم في جملة أدعية النبيِّين، وأَمَرَ الله به خاتَمهم محمداً ﷺ، وذكره في جملة ما امتدح به عباده المؤمنين، قال الله تعالى إخباراً عن نوح ﵇: ﴿رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلمُؤْمِنينَ وَالمُؤْمِنَاتِ﴾ ٢، وقال تعالى إخباراً عن إبراهيم ﵇: ﴿رَبَّنا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الحِسَابُ﴾ ٣، وقال تعالى آمراً نبيَّه محمداً ﷺ: ﴿فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالمُؤْمِنَاتِ﴾ ٤، وقال تعالى عن عباده المؤمنين الذين جاؤوا مِن بعد
