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

the intended meaning and affords the broadest scope of refuge, such that no evil remains without falling under the evils from which refuge is sought in these two surahs.

It is also from the Sunnah for a Muslim, upon seeing someone afflicted, to say: “Praise be to Allah, who has spared me that with which He has afflicted you and has greatly favored me over many of those He created.” This is a momentous and beneficial supplication. Whoever says it upon seeing an affliction will not be stricken by that affliction, by Allah’s permission—Mighty and Majestic. Al-Tirmidhī narrated from Abū Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him—that the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said: “Whoever sees someone afflicted and says, ‘Praise be to Allah, who has spared me that with which He has afflicted you and has greatly favored me over many of those He created,’ will not be stricken by that affliction.”1.

A Muslim should beware of gloating over those who are afflicted, for he cannot be sure that Allah will not test him with what He tested them with. Ibrāhīm al-Nakha‘ī—may Allah have mercy on him—said: “I may see something I dislike, yet nothing prevents me from speaking about it except the fear that I might be afflicted with the same.”

It is also from the Sunnah for a Muslim, when his brother tells him, “I love you for Allah’s sake,” to pray for him by saying, “May Allah, for whose sake you love me, love you.” The Sunan of Abū Dāwūd relates from Anas ibn Mālik—may Allah be pleased with him: “A man was with the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—when another man passed by him. He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I truly love this man.’ The Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—asked him, ‘Have you told him?’ He replied, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Then tell him.’ So he caught up with the man and said, ‘I love you for Allah’s sake.’ The man replied, ‘May He for whose sake you love me love you.’”2.

It is also from the Sunnah for a Muslim to ask his Lord of His bounty upon hearing roosters crow, and to seek refuge in Allah from Satan upon hearing dogs bark and donkeys bray. This was narrated by

1. *Sunan al-Tirmidhī* (no. 3432). Al-Albānī, may Allah have mercy on him, graded it hasan in *Sahīh al-Jāmi* (no. 6248). 2. *Sunan Abī Dāwūd* (no. 5125). Al-Albānī, may Allah have mercy on him, authenticated it in *al-Sahīha* (1/2/779).

المراد وأعمِّه استعاذة، بحيث لَم يبق من الشرور شيءٌ إلاَّ دخل تحت الشرِّ المستعاذ منه فيهما. ومن السُّنَّة أن يقول المسلم إذا رأى أحداً من أهلِ البلاء: الحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلاَكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً، وهي دعوةٌ عظيمةٌ نافعةٌ مَن قالَها حين يرى البلاءَ، لَم يُصبه ذلك البلاءًُ بإذن الله ﷿، ففي الترمذي عن أبي هريرة ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: "مَنْ رَأَى مُبْتَلًى فَقَالَ: الحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلاَكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً، لَمْ يُصِبْهُ ذَلِكَ البَلاَءُ"١. وليَحذر المسلمُ من الشماتة بأهل البلاء؛ فإنَّه لا يأمن أن يبتليه الله بما ابتلاهم فيه، يقول إبراهيم النَّخعي ﵀: "إنِّي لأرى الشيءَ أكرهه، فما يَمنعُنِي أن أتكلَّم فيه إلاَّ مخافة أن أُبتَلَى بمثله". ومن السُّنَّة أن يدعوَ المسلمُ لأخيه إذا قال له: إنِّي أحبُّك في الله، بأن يقول: أَحبَك الله الذي أحببتنِي فيه، ففي سنن أبي داود عنه أنس بن مالك ﵁: "أَنَّ رَجُلاً كَانَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إنِّي لأُحِبُّ هَذَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَعْلَمْتَهُ قَالَ: لاَ. قَالَ: أَعْلِمْهُ. قَالَ: فَلَحِقَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فِي اللهِ، فَقَالَ: أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ"٢. ومن السُّنَّة أن يسألَ المسلمُ ربَّه من فضله عند سماع صياح الدِّيَكة، وأن يتعوَّذ بالله من الشيطان عند سماع نُباحَ الكلاب ونهيقَ الحُمُر، روى
