حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعَنِي أَبِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْکَسَلِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُکَ تَقُولُهُنَّ قَالَ الْزَمْهُنَّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهُنَّ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3503
Muslim bin Abi Bakrah said: “My father heard me while I was saying: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sadness and laziness and the punishment of the grave (Allāhumma, innī a`ūdhu bika minal-hammi wal-kasali wa `adhābil-qabr).’ He said: ‘O my son, from who did you hear this?’” He said: “I said: ‘I heard you saying them.’ He said: ‘Stick to them, for indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying them.’”
