حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ الْحُبْرَانِيِّ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ حَدِّثْنَا مِمَّا، سَمِعْتَ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ فَأَلْقَى إِلَىَّ صَحِيفَةً فَقَالَ هَذَا مَا كَتَبَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رضى الله عنه قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي مَا أَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشَرَكِهِ وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سُوءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏

Al-Hasan ibn ‘Arafah narrated to us; Isma‘il ibn ‘Ayyash narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ziyad, from Abu Rashid al-Hubrani, who said: I came to ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As and said, ‘Tell us something you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).’ He handed me a sheet and said, ‘This is what the Messenger of Allah wrote for me.’ I looked in it and found that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) had said, ‘Messenger of Allah, teach me what to say in the morning and evening.’ He replied, ‘Abu Bakr, say: “O Allah, Originator of the heavens and earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, there is no god but You, Lord and Master of everything. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self, from the evil of Satan and his snares, and from committing evil against myself or bringing it upon a Muslim.”’ He said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith through this route.’

  • ‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشَرَكِهِ وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سُوءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    Arabic sharakihi means ‘his snares/traps’ here; the English witness renders it ‘his Shirk,’ changing the phrase’s sense.

    Can ‘his Shirk’ be corrected to ‘his snares’ or flagged in the witness?
