حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِيْ بکْرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ لَیْثٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيْ عَبْدِالرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيْ أُمَامَۃَؓ قَالَ: کُنَّاعِنْدَالنَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِدْعَاءٍ کَثِیْرٍ لَمْ، نَحْفَظْہُ، فَقُلْنَا: دَعَوْتَ بِدُعَاءٍ لَا نَحْفَظُہُ؟ فَقَالَ:(( سَأُنَبَّسُکُمْ بِشْیْءٍ یَجْمَعُ ذَلِکَ کُلَّہُ لْکُمْ: اللَّھُمَّ !اإِنَّا نَسْالُکَ مِمَّا َسأْلَکَ نَبِیُّکَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ، وَنَسْتَعِیْذُکَ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَکَ مِنْہُ نَبِیُّکَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ، اللَّھُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ، وَعَلَیْکَ الْبَلَاعُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ إِلَّا باَللہِ))، أَوْکَمَا قَالَ
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 679
Abu Umama said, "We were with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he made many supplications which we did not remember. We said, 'You make supplications which we do not remember.' He said, 'I will inform you of something which will combine all of them for you: "O Allah, We ask You for what Your Prophet Muhammad asked You, and we seek refuge with You from what Your Prophet Muhammad sought refuge. O Allah, You are the One to whom one turns for help and You are the One who brings it about. There is no power nor strength except by Allah," or words to that effect.'"
