From Anas – RadhiAllaahu anhu – who said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – and said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah!  Teach me some goodness.’

So the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – took him by the hand and said:

” قل: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر.

‘Say: ‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and all praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest.’

(Subhana Allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu Akbar.)’

The Bedouin counted them on his hand, when he finished he began to reflect, then came back to the Prophet.

The Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – smiled and said:

‘The desperate one has reflected.’

Then the Bedouin came and said:

‘O Messenger of Allaah! ‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and all praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest.’  This is for Allaah, what is for me?’

The Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَعَافِنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي

‘Say: O Allaah forgive me, and have mercy on me, and pardon me, and provide for me, and guide me.’

The Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said to him:

‘O Bedouin! when you say: ‘SubhanAllah’, Allaah says: ‘you have spoken the truth,

When you say: ‘Alhamdulillah’, Allaah says: ‘ you have spoken the truth, when you say: La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’, Allaah says: ‘you have spoken the truth,

When you say: Allaahu Akbar, Allaah says: ‘you have spoken the truth, If you say: O Allaah forgive me, Allaah says: I have done so,

When you say: O Allaah have mercy on me, Allaah says: I have done so, when you say: O Allaah give me provision, Allaah says: I have done so, Then the Bedouin  counted it seven times on his fingers,  then went away.’

Shaykh al-Muhaddith al-Albaani -Rahimullaah – said :

Collected by al-Bayhaqi in ‘Shuab al-Eemaan’, and this Isnaad is Jayyid (good) its narrators are trustworthy as for al-Hasan bin Tawab; then I had become exhausted, searching about him until I found who he was. So I performed a Sajdah to Allaah thankful for His success and I ask Him for an increase in His bounties.’

رقم 16 – فائدة رمضانية 1440هـ

هذا لله، فما لي؟

عن أنس قال: جاء أعرابي إلى النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم -، فقال: يا رسول الله! علمني خيراً، فأخذ النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – بيده فقال:

 (قل: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر. فعقد الأعرابي على يده، وقضى وتفكر ثم رجع، فتبسم النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – قال: تفكر البائس.

فجاء فقال: يا رسول الله! سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر؛ هذا لله، فما لي؟ فقال له النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم -:

يا أعرابي! إذا قلت: سبحان الله، قال الله: صدقت، وإذا قلت: الحمد لله، قال الله: صدقت، وإذا قلت: لا إله إلا الله، قال الله: صدقت، وإذا قلت: الله أكبر؛ قال الله: صدقت.

وإذا قلت: اللهم! اغفر لي، قال الله: قد فعلت، وإذا قلت: اللهم! ارحمني؛ قال الله: [قد] فعلت، وإذا قلت: اللهم! ارزقني، قال الله: قد فعلت. فعقد الأعرابي على سبع في يده، ثم ولّى) .

: قال الشيخ الألباني أخرجه البيهقي في “شعب الإيمان ” (1/431- 432/619) قلت: وهذا إسناد جيد، رجاله ثقات، وأما الحسن بن تواب؛ فقد أضناني البحث عنه حتى وجدته، فسجدت لله شكراً على توفيقه، فأساله المزيد من فضله،
