أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ الصَّاغَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَکَانَ مِنْ الْخَائِفِينَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا أَوْ صَلَّی تَکَلَّمَ بِکَلِمَاتٍ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ عَنْ الْکَلِمَاتِ فَقَالَ إِنْ تَکَلَّمَ بِخَيْرٍ کَانَ طَابِعًا عَلَيْهِنَّ إِلَی يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ تَکَلَّمَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِکَ کَانَ کَفَّارَةً لَهُ سُبْحَانَکَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِکَ أَسْتَغْفِرُکَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1349
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sat in a gathering or prayed, he said some words, and ‘Aishah asked him about those words. He said: “If he has spoken some good words (and he says this statement of remembrance), it will be a seal for them to preserve them until the Day of Resurrection, and if he has said something other than that, it (these words) will be an expiation for him: ‘Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika, astaghfiruka wa atlibu ilayk (Glory and praise be to You, Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You).” (Hasan)
