عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: عَلِّمْنِي كَلَامًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ: «قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَى بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ» . فَقَالَ فَهَؤُلَاءِ لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي؟ فَقَالَ: «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي» . شَكَّ الرَّاوِي فِي «عَافِنِي» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas reported: A Bedouin came to the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) and said, ‘Teach me words to say.’ He replied, ‘Say: “There is no deity but God alone, with no partner; God is supremely great; abundant praise belongs to God; glory be to God, Lord of the worlds; there is no might or power except through God, the Almighty, the Wise.”’ The man said, ‘These are for my Lord; what is for me?’ He replied, ‘Say: “O God, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, provide for me, and grant me well-being.”’ The narrator was uncertain about ‘grant me well-being.’ Muslim transmitted it. The Arabic source grades it sahih (al-Albani).
