115 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to me; Abū Ibrāhīm al-Tarjumānī narrated to us; one of the Syrian elders narrated to me that ʿAbd Allah ibn Rawāḥa—or, according to another report, Ḥassān ibn Thābit—recited:
“We heard our Prophet utter these words—
a comfort for everyone pursuing a need:
‘Set out early and present your requests to those
whose faces Allah has adorned with radiant brightness.’”
١١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عبد الله قال حَدَّثَنِي [الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ] عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّرْجُمَانِيُّ .. . حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ مَشَايِخِ الشَّامِيِّينَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ أَوْ حَسَّانَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ قَالَا
قَدْ سَمِعْنَا نَبِيَّنَا قَالَ قَوْلًا ... هُوَ لِمَنْ يَطْلُبُ الْحَوَائِجَ رَاحَهْ
اغْتَدُوا وَاطْلُبُوا الْحَوَائِجَ مِمَّنْ ... زَيَّنَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ بصباحه
