Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُهُمُ السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ [غَرِيبٌ] ‏.‏

Al-Ansari narrated to us; Ma‘n narrated to us; Malik narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr al-Makki, from Tawus al-Yamani, from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach them this supplication as he taught them a surah of the Quran: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of the False Messiah, and from the trials of life and death.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a hasan sahih [gharib] hadith.’
