Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كُنْتُ نَائِمَةً إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَفَقَدْتُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَسْتُهُ فَوَقَعَتْ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ‏"‏ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Al-Ansari narrated to us; Ma‘n narrated to us; Malik narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Sa‘id, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Taymi, that ‘A’ishah said: I was sleeping beside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when I missed him during the night. I felt around, and my hand fell upon his feet while he was prostrating and saying: ‘I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your pardon from Your punishment. I cannot enumerate praise of You; You are as You have praised Yourself.’ He said: ‘This is a hasan hadith; it has been narrated through other routes from ‘A’ishah.’ Qutaybah narrated to us; al-Layth narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Sa‘id, with this chain and a similar report, adding: ‘And I seek refuge in You from You; I cannot enumerate praise of You.’
