English narration
Narrated by يحيى بن نغير النميري
Narrated Abu Zuhayr an-Numayri: Abu Misbah al-Muqrai said: We used to sit in the company of Abu Zuhayr an-Numayri. He was a companion of the Prophet ﷺ, and he used to narrate good traditions. Once a man from among us made a supplication. He said: End it with the utterance of Amin, for Amin is like a seal on the book. Abu Zuhayr said: I shall tell you about that. We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and came upon a man who made supplication with persistence. The Prophet ﷺ waited to hear him. The Prophet ﷺ said: He will have done something which guarantees (Paradise for him) if he puts a seal to it. One of the people asked: What should he use as a seal? He replied: Amin, for if he ends it with Amin, he will do something which guarantees (Paradise for him). Then the man who questioned the Prophet ﷺ came to the man who was supplicating, and said to him: So-and-so, end it with Amin and receive the good news. These are the words of Mahmud. Abu Dawud said: Al-Muqrai is a clan of Himyar.

حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ، عَنْ صُبَيْحِ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ الْحِمْصِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُصَبِّحٍ الْمَقْرَائِيُّ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَجْلِسُ إِلَى أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ النُّمَيْرِيِّ ، وَكَانَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ ، فَيَتَحَدَّثُ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ ، فَإِذَا دَعَا الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا بِدُعَاءٍ ، قَالَ : اخْتِمْهُ بِآمِينَ ، فَإِنَّ آمِينَ مِثْلُ الطَّابَعِ عَلَى الصَّحِيفَةِ . قَالَ أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ : أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ قَدْ أَلَحَّ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ ، فَوَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَمِعُ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَوْجَبَ إِنْ خَتَمَ " ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَخْتِمُ ؟ قَالَ : "
بِآمِينَ ، فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ خَتَمَ بِآمِينَ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبَ
" ، فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَى الرَّجُلَ ، فَقَالَ : اخْتِمْ يَا فُلَانُ بِآمِينَ وَأَبْشِرْ . وَهَذَا لَفْظٌ مَحْمُودٌ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : الْمَقْرَاءُ : قَبِيلٌ مِنْ حِمْيَرَ .
