Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

1753 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When any one of you supplicates, let him ask resolutely and let him not say: ‘O Allah, if You will, then give me,’ for nothing can oblige Him.” Agreed upon.

333 – Chapter: The disapproval of saying, “What Allah wills and what so-and-so wills.”

1754 – Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not say, ‘What Allah wills and what so-and-so wills.’ Rather say, ‘What Allah wills; then what so-and-so wills.’” Related by Abū Dāwūd with an authentic chain.

334 – Chapter: The disapproval of talking after the late-night (ʿishāʾ) prayer

What is intended here is conversation that is otherwise permissible at other times, the doing or leaving of which is indifferent. As for speech that is unlawful or disliked at any other time, it is even more strictly prohibited or disliked during this period. Conversing about good—such as reviewing knowledge, recounting the stories of the righteous, discussing noble character, speaking with a guest, assisting someone with a need, and the like—is not disliked; on the contrary, it is recommended (1). Likewise, conversation necessitated by an excuse or unforeseen circumstance is not disliked. Numerous sound hadiths corroborate all that I have mentioned.

1755 – Abū Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to dislike sleeping before

(1) I would add that this concession applies only when staying up after salat al-isha (the night prayer) does not lead to neglecting any personal obligation. Consider a young man who studies until late at night preparing for an exam, then collapses in exhaustion and misses salat al-fajr (the dawn prayer); such a practice, even though it concerns the pursuit of knowledge, is impermissible. It resembles someone who builds a palace while demolishing a city. He should instead sleep soon after salat al-isha, rise early for salat al-fajr, and do his studying afterwards. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke truly when he said, “Blessing has been placed for my ummah in its early hours.” Let this be noted, for most young people are heedless of it. Allah is the One whose help is sought. —N—
١٧٥٣ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَعْزِمِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ ، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ ، فَأَعْطِنِي ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا مُسْتَكْرَهَ لَهُ » متفق عليه . ٣٣٣ - باب كراهة قول : ما شاء الله وشاء فلان ١٧٥٤ - عن حُذَيْفَةَ بن اليمان رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي ﷺ ، قال : « لَا تَقُولُوا : مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشَاءَ فُلَانٌ ؛ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا : مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ شَاءَ فُلَانٌ » رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح . ٣٣٤ - باب كراهة الحديث بعد العشاء الآخرة والمُرَادُ بِهِ الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي يَكُونُ مُبَاحًا فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ ، وَفِعْلُهُ وَتَرْكُهُ سَوَاءً . فَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الْمُحَرَّمُ أَوِ الْمَكْرُوهُ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ ، فَهُوَ فِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أَشَدُّ تَحْرِيمًا وَكَرَاهَةً . وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ فِي الْخَيْرِ كَمُذَاكَرَةِ الْعِلْمِ وَحِكَايَاتِ الصَّالِحِينَ ، وَمَكَارِمِ الْأَخْلَاقِ ، وَالْحَدِيثُ مَعَ الضَّيْفِ ، وَمَعَ طَالِبِ حَاجَةٍ ، وَنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ ، فَلَا كَرَاهَةَ فِيهِ ، بَلْ هُوَ مُسْتَحَبٌّ (١) ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثُ لِعُذْرٍ وَعَارِضٍ لَا كَرَاهَةَ فِيهِ . وَقَدْ تَظَاهَرَتِ الْأَحَادِيثُ الصَّحِيحَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا ذَكَرْتُهُ . ١٧٥٥ - عن أبي بَرْزَةَ رضي الله عنه ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، كَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَ
(١) « أقول : ينبغي أن يقيد ذلك بما إذا لم يترتب على الحديث بعد العشاء إضاعة شيء من الواجبات العينية ، كالشاب مثلاً ، يسهر في دراسة العلم أو الاستعداد للاختبار إلى قريب من الليل ثم ينام منهكاً ، فتفوته صلاة الصبح ، فمثل هذا السهر ، ولو في طلب العلم - لا يجوز ، لأن مثله كمثل من يبني قصراً ويهدم مصراً ، وإنما عليه أن ينام مبكراً بعد صلاة العشاء ، ليستيقظ مبكراً لصلاة الصبح ، وليجعل دراسته بعدها ، وصدق رسول الله ﷺ إذ يقول : « بورك لأمتي في بكورها » فليتنبه لهذا ، فإن أكثر الشباب عنه غافلون ، والله المستعان » - ن - .
