حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقُولُ فِي صَبَاحِ کُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَمَسَائِ کُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْئٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَائِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَيَضُرَّهُ شَيْئٌ قَالَ وَکَانَ أَبَانُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ طَرَفٌ مِنْ الْفَالِجِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبَانُ مَا تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ أَمَا إِنَّ الْحَدِيثَ کَمَا قَدْ حَدَّثْتُکَ وَلَکِنِّي لَمْ أَقُلْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِيُمْضِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ قَدَرَهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3869
Uthman bin 'Affan said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah(saw)say: "There is no person who says, in the morning and evening of every day: Bismillahil-Iadhi Ia yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa Ia fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul- 'Alim (In the name of Allah with Whose Name nothing on earth or in heaven harms, and He is the All-Seeing, All-Knowing), three times, and is then harmed by anything.:" (Hasan) He (one of the narrators) said: "Aban had been stricken with paralysis on one side of his body, and a man started looking at him. Aban said: 'Why are you looking at me? The Hadith is as I have narrated it to you, but I did not say it that day, so that the decree of Allah might be implemented."’
