وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «سَلْ رَبَّكَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَالْمُعَافَاةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ» ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: «فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَالْمُعَافَاةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ فَقَدْ أَفْلَحْتَ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيب إِسْنَادًا

Anas reported: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, “O Messenger of Allah, which supplication is best?” He said, “Ask your Lord for well-being and protection in this world and the Hereafter.” The man came to him again the next day and asked the same question, and the Prophet ﷺ gave him the same answer. He came to him on the third day and asked again; the Prophet ﷺ gave him the same answer, then said, “If you are granted well-being and protection in this world and the Hereafter, you have truly prospered.” Reported by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah. Al-Tirmidhi said, “This is a hasan gharīb hadith in its chain.” The hadith was not studied by al-Albani.
