حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ الْجَعْدِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَمِعَتْ أُمِّي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَتْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُنَيْسٌ . قَالَ فَدَعَا لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثَ دَعَوَاتٍ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُنَّ اثْنَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَا أَرْجُو الثَّالِثَةَ فِي الآخِرَةِ . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Passed By, So My Mother, Umm Sulaim, Heard His Voice And Said: 'May My Father And Mother Be Ransomed For You, O Messenger Of Allah. This Is Unais.' So The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Supplicated For Me With Three Supplications, And I Have Seen Two Of Them In The World, And I Hope For The Third In The Hereafter.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3827
This hadith about dua for Anas bin Malik shows a mother asking the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم to make supplication for her son. Umm Sulaim heard the Prophet’s voice and said that this was Unais, referring to Anas. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم then made three supplications for him. Anas says he saw two of them in this world and hoped for the third in the Hereafter. The narration does not state the exact words of the three duas here, so we should not invent them in this explanation. The core message is the value of asking for the Prophet’s dua in that time and Anas’s own hope in Allah regarding what remained.
What we learn from this hadith
- Umm Sulaim sought supplication for Anas from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
- Anas remembered the Prophet’s three supplications for him.
- The narration shows hope for good in the Hereafter without making details beyond the text.
