حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالاَنِيِّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا، فَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنْهُ. قَالَ: «قُلْ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ». قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ، فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ: «قُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاهْدِنِي». فَلَمَّا قَامَ، قَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ مَلأَ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ».

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am not able to take anything from the Quran, so teach me something from it that will suffice me. He said: "Say: subḥāna allāh, wal-ḥamdu li-llāh, wa-lā ilāha illā allāh, wa-allāhu akbar, wa-lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi al-ʿaliyyi al-ʿaẓīm (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is greatest, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah.)" He said: O Messenger of Allah, this is for Allah ﷻ, so what is for me? He said: "Say: allāuhumma irḥamnī wa-urzuqnī wa-ʿāfinī wa-ihdinī (O Allah, have mercy on me, provide for me, grant me well-being, and guide me.)" When he stood up, he gestured with his hand, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "As for this man, he has filled his hand with goodness."
