حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنِ الْجَرَّاحِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ سَرِيرَتِي خَيْرًا مِنْ عَلاَنِيَتِي وَاجْعَلْ عَلاَنِيَتِي صَالِحَةً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ صَالِحِ مَا تُؤْتِي النَّاسَ مِنَ الْمَالِ وَالأَهْلِ وَالْوَلَدِ غَيْرِ الضَّالِّ وَلاَ الْمُضِلِّ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ .
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said: “The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Taught Me, Saying: ‘Say: “O Allah, Make My Secret Better Than My Apparent Condition, And Make My Apparent Condition Righteous. O Allah, I Ask You For The Righteous Of What You Give To The People, Of Wealth, Wives, And Children, Not (To Be) Misguided, Nor Misguiding. (Allāhummaj`Al Sarīratī Khairan Min `Alāniyatī Waj`Al `Alāniyatī ṢĀliha. Allāhumma Innī As’Aluka Min ṢĀlihi Mā Tu’Tin-Nāsa Minal-Māli Wal-Ahli Wal Waladi, Ghairaḍ-ḌĀli Wa Lal-MuḍIl).”
