حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ) عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، (وَهُوَ ابْنُ صُهَيْبٍ)

قَالَ سَأَلَ قَتَادَةُ أَنَسًا أَىُّ دَعْوَةٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ قَالَ كَانَ أَكْثَرُ دَعْوَةٍ يَدْعُو بِهَا يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ». قَالَ وَكَانَ أَنَسٌ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدَعْوَةٍ دَعَا بِهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدُعَاءٍ دَعَا بِهَا فِيهِ

Qatada asked Anas which Supplication the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) frequently made. He said: The supplication that he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made very frequently is this: “ O Allah, grant us the good in this world and the good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell-Fire.”

He (Qatada) said that whenever Anas had to supplicate he made this very supplication, and whenever he (intended) to make another supplication he (inserted) this very supplication in that.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না ও আমর আন্‌ নাকিদ (রহঃ) ..... ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) থেকে এ সানাদে উপরের হাদীসটি বর্ণনা করেছেন। তবে তিনি এ বর্ণনায় রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর খিদমাতে তার ব্যস্ত থাকার কথা উল্লেখ করেননি।

محمد بن مثنیٰ ، عبدالوہاب ، عمروناقد ، سفیان ، حضرت یحییٰ سے اس سند کے ساتھ روایت ہے اور اس حدیث میں یہ ذکر نہیں کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی وجہ سے قضا میں تاخیر ہوتی تھی ۔

{…} Bize Muhammedü'bnü'l-Müsennâ rivayet etti (Dediki) Bize Abdülvahhâb rivayet etti. H. Bize Amru'n-Nâkıd dahi rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Süfyân rivayet etti. Her iki ravi Yahya'dan bu isnâdla rivayette bulunmuş yalnız hadîsde «Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ile meşgul olurdum.» cümlesini zikretmemişlerdir

Sahih Muslim 2690a, Book 48, The Book Pertaining to the Remembrance of Allah, Supplication, Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness, Hadith 36. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently recite concise supplications that were comprehensive in meaning including the following supplication: "Allāhumma rabbana ātina fi ad-dunya hasanah wa fi al-ākhirati hasanah wa qina ‘adhāb an-nār (O Allah our Lord, give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good and protect us from the torment of the Fire)."

This supplication includes the good things in this world like a blissful, extensive, and lawful sustenance; a righteous wife; a child who is a source of joy, relief, beneficial knowledge, good deeds, and similar favorable and permissible demands. As for the good things in the Hereafter, they include safety from punishments in the grave, the standing, and the Fire, besides attaining the pleasure of Allah, winning eternal bliss, and being close to the Most Merciful Lord.

What it teaches

  • It is recommended to recite comprehensive supplications following the example of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • It is more perfect for one to combine in his supplication between what is good in this life and the Hereafter.
