حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اشْتَرَی أَحَدُکُمْ الْجَارِيَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُکَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَکَةِ وَإِذَا اشْتَرَی أَحَدُکُمْ بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَکَةِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2252
It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father that his grandfather told that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "When anyone of you buys a slave woman let him say: (0 Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that You have made her inclined towards, and I seek refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that You have made her inclined towards): And he should pray for blessing. And if anyone of you buys a camel then he should take hold of its hump and pray for blessing and say similar words." (Hasan)
