Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

Thus, among his supplications that have been preserved is:

“O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him; grant him well-being and pardon him. Honor his reception and make his place of entry spacious. Wash him with water, snow, and hail, and cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Give him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, and a spouse better than his spouse. Admit him to Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire.” (1).

Another supplication preserved from him is:

“O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our young and our old, our males and our females, those present among us and those absent. O Allah, whoever among us You keep alive, let him live upon Islam, and whoever among us You cause to die, let him die upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of the reward on his account, and do not let us go astray after him.” (2).

Also preserved among his supplications is:

“O Allah, so-and-so, son of so-and-so, is under Your protection and Your covenant of refuge. Protect him from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the Fire. You are ever faithful and true, so forgive him and have mercy on him,

(1) Recorded by Muslim (963), from the hadith of ‘Awf ibn Mālik al-Ashja‘ī. (2) Recorded by Ahmad (8809, 17543, 17546, 22554), Abū Dāwūd (3201), al-Tirmidhī (1024), al-Nasā’ī in al-Mujtabā (1986) and al-Kubrā (10851–10858), Ibn Mājah (1498), al-Tabarānī in al-Du‘ā’ (1167–1171), and al-Bayhaqī (4:41), through various chains from Yahyā ibn Abī Kathīr. There is considerable disagreement over the chain of transmission from him. In some chains, he narrates from Abū Ibrāhīm al-Ashhalī, from his father. This is the soundest version, preferred by al-Bukhārī according to al-Tirmidhī’s report following the hadith. Nevertheless, it is weak, since al-Ashhalī and his father are both unknown narrators. In other chains, he narrates from Abū Salama, from Abū Hurayra. Abū Hātim said in al-‘Ilal (1047): “This is an error. The hadith masters do not say ‘Abū Hurayra’; rather, they say ‘Abū Salama, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).’” This mursal report was recorded by ‘Abd al-Razzāq (6419) and Ibn Abī Shayba (11474, 11479, 30398, 30403).

فحُفِظ من دعائه: «اللهمَّ اغفر له، وارحمه. وعافِه، واعفُ عنه. وأكرِمْ نُزُلَه، ووسِّع مُدْخلَه. واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرَد، ونقِّه من الخطايا كما ينقَّى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس. وأبدِله دارًا خيرًا من داره، وأهلًا خيرًا من أهله، وزوجًا خيرًا من زوجه. وأدخِله الجنة، وأعِذْه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار» (١). وحُفِظ من دعائه: «اللهمَّ اغفر لحيِّنا وميتنا، وصغيرنا وكبيرنا، وذكرنا وأنثانا، وشاهدنا وغائبنا. اللهمَّ من أحييته منَّا فأحْيِه على الإسلام، ومن توفَّيتَه منا فتوفَّه على الإيمان. اللهمَّ لا تَحْرِمنا أجرَه، ولا تُضِلَّنا بعده» (٢). وحُفِظ من دعائه أيضًا: «اللهمَّ إنَّ فلان بن فلان في ذمَّتك وحَبْلِ جوارك، فقِهِ من فتنة القبر وعذاب النار، وأنت أهل الوفاء والحق، فاغفر له وارحمه،

(٢) أخرجه أحمد (٨٨٠٩، ١٧٥٤٣، ١٧٥٤٦، ٢٢٥٥٤) وأبو داود (٣٢٠١) والترمذي (١٠٢٤) والنسائي في «المجتبى» (١٩٨٦) و «الكبرى» (١٠٨٥١ - ١٠٨٥٨) وابن ماجه (١٤٩٨) والطبراني في «الدعاء» (١١٦٧ - ١١٧١) والبيهقي (٤/ ٤١) من طرق عن يحيى بن أبي كثير، وقد اختلف عليه في إسناده كثيرًا، ففي بعض الطرق عنه عن أبي إبراهيم الأشهلي عن أبيه، وهي أصح الروايات رجحها البخاري فيما نقله عنه الترمذي عقب الحديث، وهي ضعيفة فإن الأشهلي وأباه مجهولان. وفي بعض الطرق عنه عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة، قال أبو حاتم في «العلل» (١٠٤٧): «هذا خطأ، الحفاظ لا يقولون: أبو هريرة، إنما يقولون: أبو سلمة أن النبي ﷺ». وهذا المرسل أخرجه عبد الرزاق (٦٤١٩) وابن أبي شيبة (١١٤٧٤، ١١٤٧٩، ٣٠٣٩٨، ٣٠٤٠٣).
