Seeking Refuge from Disturbing Dreams and Bad Thoughts

عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ، فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُسْتَضْجِعٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ، إِذَا كَانَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، وَلَقَدْ كَانَ إِحْدَاكُمُ يُقَامُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَيُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُسْتَضْجِعٌ، وَلَقَدْ كَانَ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْبَةِ وَشَرِّ اللَّيْلِ إِذَا أَدْبَرَ، وَشَرِّ النَّهَارِ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ، وَشَرِّ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، وَشَرِّ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ، وَشَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشَرِّ الدَّجَّالِ. قَالَتْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْعُو بِهَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَا كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ، وَمِنَ الْهَرَمِ، وَمِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ، وَمِنَ الْمَغْرَمِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ». وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْهَ، وَقَالَ «وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لاَ يُسْمَعُ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ قَوْلٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ». وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبُو عِيسَى، حَدِيثَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، إِلاَّ قَوْلَهُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَا كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ، وَمِنَ الْهَرَمِ، وَمِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ، وَمِنَ الْمَغْرَمِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لاَ يُسْمَعُ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ قَوْلٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ». وَقَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. وَحَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَصَحُّ.

Abu Salamah reported: I asked Umm al-Mu'minin, 'Aishah, 'Did the Prophet ﷺ pray while lying down?' She said: 'Yes, when he was praying. And indeed, one of you might be woken from his sleep and pray while lying down. He used to seek refuge in Allah from the evil of old age and the evil of the night when it darkens, and the evil of the day when it dawns, and the evil of the Jewess, and the evil of the Christian, and the evil of Satan and the evil of the Dajjal.' She said: 'He did not used to supplicate with these words, but rather he used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Fire and the punishment of the Fire, and the trial of the grave and the punishment of the grave, and the evil of the trial of wealth, and the evil of the trial of poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of the trial of the Dajjal. O Allah, wash my heart with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from sins as a white garment is cleansed from dirt, and keep me far from my sins as You have kept the East and the West far apart. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, and from old age, and from sin, and from debt. And I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire, and I seek refuge in You from four.'" He did not mention them. And he said: 'And I seek refuge in You from a heart that has no reverence, and from a prayer that is not answered, and from a soul that is never satisfied, and from knowledge that does not benefit.' Then he said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, from his malice, his arrogance, and his poetry.' Abu 'Isa said: This hadith is Hasan Sahih. And in this matter, there is also a narration from Abdullah ibn Amr. And the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr is more authentic.

‘An Abi Salamah, qala sa'altu ‘Aishah, faqultu ya Umm al-Mu'minin, hal kana an-Nabiyyu ﷺ yuṣalli wa huwa mustadhji‘?

Thumma qāla: 'A‘ūdhu billahi min ash-shayṭān ar-rajīm, min hamzihi wa nafkhhi wa nafthih'. Wa lam yadhkur Abu ‘Īsā, ḥadīth Abi Salamah, ‘an ‘Ā’ishah, illā qawlahu: 'Allahumma inni a‘ūdhu bika min fitnat an-nār wa ‘adhāb an-nār, wa fitnat al-qabr, wa ‘adhāb al-qabr, wa sharr fitnat al-ghinā, wa sharr fitnat al-faqr.

Wa qāla Abu ‘Īsā: Hādhā ḥadīthun ḥasanun ṣaḥīḥ. Wa fī al-bābi ‘an ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr. Wa ḥadīthu ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr aṣaḥḥ.
