Arabic (Original)
قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقُولُ حِينَ أَسْأَلُ رَبِّي قَالَ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَقَبَضَ أَصَابِعَهُ الْأَرْبَعَ إِلَّا الْإِبْهَامَ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَجْمَعْنَ لَكَ دُنْيَاكَ وَآخِرَتَكَ.
