Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Yaman informed us: Shuʿayb informed us: Abu al-Zinad narrated to us, from al-Aʿraj, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘O Allah, save ʿAyyash ibn Abi Rabiʿa! O Allah, save Salama ibn Hisham! O Allah, save al-Walid ibn al-Walid! O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers! O Allah, intensify Your pressure upon Mudar, and make them undergo years like the years of Yusuf.’

Translation notes
  • Retained all four repeated prayers and the final comparison to Yusuf’s years.
