Hadith 83

(The book) ‘Rijal’ of Al Kashy – Tahir Bin Isa Al Waraq, from Muhammad Bin Ayoub, from Sahlih Bin Abu Hammad, from Ibn Al Khattab, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muhammad Bin Zayd Al Shaham who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws saw me and I was praying Salat. He sent someone to me and called me. He-asws said to me: ‘Where are you from? ’ I said, ‘I am from your-asws friends’. He-asws said: ‘Which of the friends? ’ I said, ‘From Al-Kufa’. He-asws said: ‘Who do you know from Al-Kufa? ’ I said, Bashir Al-Nabbal and Shajarah’. He-asws said: ‘And how are their attitudes towards you? ’ I said, ‘Their attitudes towards me is not good’. He-asws said: ‘Best of the Muslims is one who help and assist and benefits (others). I-asws do not spend any night at all, by Allah-azwj, and in my wealth there is a right I-asws am to be questioned about’. Then he-asws said: ‘Which thing is there with you all, from the expense monies? ’ I said, ‘There are two hundred Dirhams with me’. He-asws said: ‘Show it! ’ I came to him with these. He-asws increased in it for me, thirty Dirham and two Dinars, then said: ‘Have dinner with me-asws! ’ I came and had dinner with him-asws. He (the narrator) said, ‘When it was the next year, I did not go to him-asws. So, he-asws sent someone to me, and called me the next morning. He-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you? You did not come to me-asws yesterday? You had compassion upon me-asws’. I said, ‘Your-asws messenger did not come to me’. He-asws said: ‘I-asws am a messenger myself-asws to you for as long as you are staying in this city. Which thing do you desire from the food? ’ I said, ‘The milk’. So he-asws bought a milking sheep for my reason. I said, ‘If you-asws could teach me a supplication’. He-asws said: ‘Write, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! O One-azwj I hope to for every good and am safe from His-azwj Wrath during every stumble! O One-azwj Who Gives the lot with the little (deed), and O One-azwj Who Gives the one who asks Him-azwj as Affection from Him-azwj and Mercy. O One-azwj Who Gives the one who did not ask Him-azwj and does not know Him-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-asws and People-asws of his-saww Household, and Grant me my request, goodness of the world and entirety of goodness of the Hereafter, for whatever You-azwj Give cannot be overturned and increase Your-azwj grace for me right now, O Benevolent! ’
Then he-asws raised his-asws hands and said: ‘O One-azwj with the Conferment and Leniency! O One-azwj with the Majesty and the Honour! O One-azwj with the Favours and the Generousity! Have Mercy on my-asws Shias from the Fire! ’
Then he-asws placed his-asws hands upon his-asws beard and did not raise them except and the back of his-asws palm had been filled with tears’’. [110]
