حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلْعَبَّاسِ " إِذَا كَانَ غَدَاةُ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَأْتِنِي أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ حَتَّى أَدْعُوَ لَهُمْ بِدَعْوَةٍ يَنْفَعُكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا وَوَلَدَكَ " . فَغَدَا وَغَدَوْنَا مَعَهُ وَأَلْبَسَنَا كِسَاءً ثُمَّ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْعَبَّاسِ وَوَلَدِهِ مَغْفِرَةً ظَاهِرَةً وَبَاطِنَةً لاَ تُغَادِرُ ذَنْبًا اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْهُ فِي وَلَدِهِ " .هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said To Al-'Abbas: 'On The Night Of Monday, Come To Me, You And Your Offspring, So That I May Supplicate For Them With A Supplication That Allah Will Benefit You And Your Children By.' So He Went, And We Went With At Night, So He (ﷺ) Covered Us In A Kisah (Shawl), Then Said: 'O Allah, Forgive Al-'Abbas And His Offspring, For What Is Open And What Is Secret, With A Forgiveness That Does Not Leave Any Sins. O Allah! Take Care Of Him Concerning The Affair Of His Offspring.'

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3762
This hadith about dua for family shows the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم calling Al-Abbas and his offspring to come to him so he could supplicate for them. He covered them with a shawl and asked Allah to forgive Al-Abbas and his children, openly and secretly, with forgiveness that leaves no sin. He also asked Allah to take care of Al-Abbas in the matter of his offspring. The narration is focused on mercy, forgiveness, and care for family. It does not mention a general ritual for everyone, so the explanation should stay close to the text. The core lesson is that making dua for one’s family is a loving act, and asking Allah for forgiveness is one of the best forms of concern.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم made a special dua for Al-Abbas and his offspring.
- Seeking forgiveness for family is a caring and meaningful act.
- A person may ask Allah to protect and care for their children.
- The narration shows tenderness through both action and supplication.
