حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُو بِهَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَفِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَأَنْقِ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا أَنْقَيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
A'isha Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to supplicate with these words: “O Allah, Indeed, I Seek Refuge In You From The Trial Of The Fire, And The Punishment Of The Fire, And The Punishment Of The Grave, And The Trial Of The Grave, And From The Evil Of The Trial Of The Grave, And From The Evil Of The Trials Of Riches, And From The Evils Of The Trials Of Poverty, And From The Evil Of The Trial Of The False Masih.O Allah, Wash My Sins With Water Of Ice And Hail, And Cleanse My Heart Of Sins, As You Cleansed A White Garment Of Filth, And Distance Me And My Sins As You Distanced Between The East And The West. O Allah, Indeed, I Seek Refuge In You From Laziness, Senility, Sin And Debt.(Allāhumma Innī A`Ūdhu Bika Min Fitnatin-Nār, Wa `Adhābin-Nār, Wa `Adhābil-Qabr, Wa Fitnatil-Qabr, Wa Min Sharri Fitnatil-Ghinā, Wa Min Sharri Fitnatil-Faqr, Wa Min Sharri Fitnatil- MasīḥId-Dajjāl. Allāhummaghsil KhaṭĀyāya Bi-Mā’Ith-Thalji Wal-Bardi, Wa Anqi Qalbī Minal-KhaṭĀyā Kamā Anqaitath-Thawbal-AbyaḍA Minad-Danas, Wa Bā`Id Bainī Wa Baina KhaṭĀyāya Kama Bā`Adta Bainal-Mashriqi Wal Maghrib, Allāhumma Innī A`Ūdhu Bika Min Al-Kasali Wal-Harami Wal-Ma’Thami Wal-Maghram).”
