Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

1490 – Ziyād ibn ʿAlāqah reports from his uncle, Qutbah ibn Mālik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet ﷺ used to say, “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from reprehensible manners, deeds, and passions.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan.

1491 – Shakl ibn Ḥumayd, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I asked, “Messenger of Allah, teach me a supplication.” He replied, “Say: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my hearing, the evil of my sight, the evil of my tongue, the evil of my heart, and the evil of my private part.’(1)” Narrated by Abū Dāwūd, and by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan.

1492 – Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to say, “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from leucoderma, insanity, leprosy, and every malignant disease.” Narrated by Abū Dāwūd with a sound chain.

1493 – Abū Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from hunger, for it is an evil bedfellow; and I seek refuge in You from treachery, for it is an evil confidant.” Narrated by Abū Dāwūd with a sound chain.

1494 – ʿAlī, may Allah be pleased with him, related that a contracted slave (mukātib) came to him and said, “I am unable to pay off my contract(2); help me.” He replied, “Shall I not teach you some words the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me? If you were burdened with a debt as heavy as a mountain, Allah would settle it for you. Say: ‘O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful so that I have no need of what You have forbidden, and enrich me by Your bounty so that I depend on no one besides You.’” Narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who graded it ḥasan.

1495 – ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn, may Allah be pleased with them both, reported that the Prophet ﷺ taught his father Ḥuṣayn two phrases with which to supplicate: “O Allah, inspire me with right guidance and protect me from the evil of my own soul.”(3)

(1) Refers to a person’s private part.
(2) I.e., the contract of manumission by which a slave purchases his freedom.
(3) Some narrations add: “…and save me from the punishment of the grave,” but the wording above is the version cited here.

(1) That is, my private parts. (2) That is, the debt I am obliged to repay on its account. (3) I say: This is what he reported, and it may be found in some manuscripts of al-Tirmidhi; in the Bulaq edition (2/261), however, it is marked “hadith gharib,” meaning weak. This verdict suits the state of its isnad, for the chain is both broken and weak, and no

١٤٩٠ - وعن زياد بن علاقة عن عمه ، وهو قُطْبَةُ بنُ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عنه ، قال : كان النبي ﷺ يقول : « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مُنْكَرَاتِ الْأَخْلَاقِ ، وَالْأَعْمَالِ ، وَالْأَهْوَاءِ » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن . ١٤٩١ - وعن شَكْلِ بنِ حُمَيْدٍ رضي الله عنه قال : قُلتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً ، قال : « قُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِي ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ بَصَرِي ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ لِسَانِي ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ قَلْبِي ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَنِيِّي » (١) رواه أبو داود ؛ والترمذي وقال : حديث حسن . ١٤٩٢ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه ، أن النبي ﷺ ، كان يقول : « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ ، وَالْجُنُونِ ، وَالْجُذَامِ ، وَسَيِّئِ الْأَسْقَامِ » رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح . ١٤٩٣ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ : « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُوعِ ، فَإِنَّهُ بِئْسَ الضَّجِيعُ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ ، فَإِنَّهَا بِئْسَتِ الْبِطَانَةُ » . رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح . ١٤٩٤ - وعن عليّ رضي الله عنه ، أن مُكَاتَبًا جَاءَهُ فقال : إِنِّي عَجَزْتُ عَنْ كِتَابَتِي (٢) فَأَعِنِّي ، قال : أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِيهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِثْلُ جَبَلٍ دَيْنًا أَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْكَ ؟ قُلْ : « اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ ، وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ » رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسن . ١٤٩٥ - وعن عِمْرَانَ بنِ الْحُصَيْنِ رضي الله عنهما ، أن النبي ﷺ ، عَلَّمَ أَبَاهُ حُصَيْنًا كَلِمَتَيْنِ يَدْعُو بِهِمَا : « اللَّهُمَّ الْهِمْنِي رُشْدِي ، وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي » (٣)

(١) أي : فرجي . (٢) أي : الدين اللازم لي بها . (٣) « قُلْتُ : كَذَا قَالَ ، وَلَعَلَّهُ فِي بَعْضِ نُسَخِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ ، وَإِلَّا فَنِّي نُسْخَةِ بُولَاقَ (٢٦١/٢) : « حَدِيثُ غَرِيبٍ » ، يَعْنِي : ضَعِيفٌ ، وَهَذَا هُوَ اللَّائِقُ بِحَالِ إِسْنَادِهِ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ انْقِطَاعًا وَضَعْفًا ، لَا =
