أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ وَقَدَمَاهُ مَنْصُوبَتَانِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَبِكَ مِنْكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ " .
Ishaq ibn Ibrahim reported to us; he said: ‘Abdah informed us; he said: ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Umar narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban, from al-A‘raj, from Abu Hurairah, from ‘Aishah, who said: One night I could not find the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I came upon him while he was prostrating, with his feet held upright, and he was saying: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, in Your pardon from Your punishment, and in You from You. I cannot fully enumerate praise of You; You are as You have praised Yourself.’
Translation notes
The supplication translates وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ as seeking refuge in Allah’s pardon/safety from His punishment. The report describes the Prophet’s feet as held upright during prostration.
