حَدَّثَنَا تَمِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ عَنْ شَرِيکٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ کُنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَا نَقُولُ إِذَا جَلَسْنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ عُلِّمَ فَذَکَرَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ شَرِيکٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا جَامِعٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي شَدَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ قَالَ وَکَانَ يُعَلِّمُنَا کَلِمَاتٍ وَلَمْ يَکُنْ يُعَلِّمُنَاهُنَّ کَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ اللَّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَنَجِّنَا مِنْ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَی النُّورِ وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَبَارِکْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّکَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاکِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِکَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَابِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 969
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We did not know what we should say when we sat during prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taught (by Allah). He then narrated the tradition to the same effect. Sharik reported from Jami', from Abu Wail on the authority of Abdullah ibn Masud something similar. He said: He used to teach us also some other words, but he did not teach them as he taught us the tashahhud: O Allah, join our hearts, mend our social relationship, guide us to the path of peace, bring us from darkness to light, save us from obscenities, outward or inward, and bless our ears, our eyes, our hearts, our wives, our children, and relent toward us; Thou art the Relenting, the Merciful. And make us grateful for Thy blessing and make us praise it while accepting it and give it to us in full.
