Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الرُّومِيُّ قَالَ‏:‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ‏:‏ قِيلَ لَهُ‏:‏ إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكَ أَتَوْكَ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ، وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالزَّاوِيَةِ، لِتَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ، قَالَ‏:‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا، وَارْحَمْنَا، وَآتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ، فَاسْتَزَادُوهُ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَهَا، فَقَالَ‏:‏ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هَذَا، فَقَدْ أُوتِيتُمْ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ‏.‏

Translation

Musa narrated to us, saying: ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Rumi narrated to us, saying: My father informed me, from Anas ibn Malik, who was told: “Your brothers have come to you from Basra”—he was then in al-Zawiyah—“so that you may supplicate to Allah for them.” He said: “O Allah, forgive us, have mercy on us, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” They asked him for more, so he said the same again. Then he said: “If you are granted this, then you have been granted the good of this world and the Hereafter.”
