Chapter 44: Something Else: The Supplication: “May Allah Grant You Taqwa As Your Provision” - كتاب الدعوات عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ سَفَرًا فَزَوِّدْنِي . قَالَ " زَوَّدَكَ اللَّهُ التَّقْوَى " . قَالَ زِدْنِي . قَالَ " وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ " . قَالَ زِدْنِي بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي . قَالَ " وَيَسَّرَ لَكَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ .
Anas said:
“A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘I intend to undertake a journey, so give me provision. He said: ‘May Allah grant you Taqwa as your provision (Zawwadak Allāhut-taqwā).’ He said: ‘Give me more.’ He said: ‘And may He forgive your sin (Wa ghafara dhanbak).’ He said: ‘Give me more, may my father be ransomed for you, and my mother.’ He said: ‘And may He make goodness easy for you wherever you are (Wa yassara lakal-khaira ḥaithu mā kunt).’”
