حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي جَسَدِي وَعَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي وَاجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ . قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ شَيْئًا وَحَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ هُوَ حَبِيبُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ وَابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ .
Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: “O Allah, Grant Me Health In My Body, And Grant Me Health In My Sight, And Make It The Inheritor From Me, There Is None Has The Right To Be Worshipped But Allah, The Forbearing, The Generous, Glory Is To Allah, The Lord Of The Magnificent Throne, And All Praise Is Due To Allah, The Lord Of All That Exists (Allāhumma `Āfinī Fī Jasadi, Wa `Āfinī Fī BaṣArī, Waj`Alhul-Wāritha Minnī, Lā Ilāha Illāllah, Al-ḤAlīmul-Karīm, SubḥĀn Allāhi Rabbil-`Arshil-AẓĪm, Wal-ḤAmdulillāhi Rabbil-`Alamīn).”
