حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا، وَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ.
Isma'il ibn Qays said, "I came to Khabbab when he had been cauterised
seven times. He said, 'If it had not been that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had forbidden us to pray for death,
I would have done so.'"
'A'isha said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, saw a cloud rising from the horizon, he would leave
what he was doing, even if it was the prayer, and face towards it. If Allah
dispersed it, he praised Allah, and if it rained, he said, 'O Allah, make
it a useful fall!'"
Abu Musa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, used to make this supplication, "O Allah, forgive my errors,
my ignorance and my excess in all my affairs, and what You know better
than me of these things. O Allah, forgive all my errors, what I do intentionally
or out of my ignorance or in jest and in all that I do. O Allah, forgive
me my past and future wrong actions, what I conceal of them and what I
divulge. You are the One who puts things ahead and the One who delays them.
You have power over all things."
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "One of the supplications of the Messenger
of Allah was, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the disappearance of
Your blessing and from the loss of good health and Your sudden vengeance
and all of Your anger.'"
