Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْعُكْلِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اجْعَلُوا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْحَرَامِ سُتْرَةً مِنَ الْحَلَالِ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِعِرْضِهِ وَدِينِهِ وَمَنْ أَرْتَعَ فِيهِ كَانَ كَالْمُرْتِعِ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْحِمَى يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَحَارِمُهُ»
English Translation
Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan informed us, he said: Ibrahim ibn al-Hajjaj narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Salama narrated to us, from Abu Ja'far al-Khatmi, from Umara ibn Ruwaym, from his mother, who said: I asked Aisha: With what would the Messenger of Allah ﷺ begin his night prayer? She said: 'You have asked me about something that no one has asked me before. He would begin with: Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no deity except You.'
