English narration

Narrated by أبو سعيد الخدري

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to pray at night (for tahajjud prayer) he uttered the takbir and then said: "Glory be to Thee, O Allah, " and "Praise be to Thee" and "Blessed is Thy name, " and Exalted is Thy greatness. " and "There is no god but Thee. " He then said: "There is no god but Allah" three times; he then said: "Allah is altogether great" three times: "I seek refuge in Allah, All-Hearing and All-Knowing from the accursed devil, from his evil suggestion (hamz), from his puffing up (nafkh), and from his spitting (nafth)" He then recited (the Quran). Abu Dawud said: It is said that this tradition has been narrated by Ali bin Abi from al-Hasan omitting the name of the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. The misunderstanding occurred on the part of Jafar.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ مُطَهَّرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : "

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَبَّرَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرَكَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا ، ثَلَاثًا ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ ، ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يَقُولُونَ هُوَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، مُرْسَلًا الْوَهْمُ مِنْ جَعْفَرٍ .
