حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ: اكْتُمِ الْخِطْبَةَ، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ، وَصَلِّ مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَكَ، ثُمَّ احْمَدْ رَبَّكَ وَمَجِّدْهُ، ثُمَّ قُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ لِي فِي فُلَانَةَ - تُسَمِّيهَا بِاسْمِهَا - خَيْرًا فِي دِينِي، وَدُنْيَايَ، وَآخِرَتِي، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُهَا خَيْرًا لِي مِنْهَا فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي فَاقْضِ لِي بِهَا. أَوْ قَالَ: فَاقْدُرْهَا لِي

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Conceal your proposal [to marry], then perform wudu' and perfect your wudu', then pray what Allah has decreed for you, then praise your Lord and magnify Him, then say: "O Allah, You have power and I have no power, and You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. If You see good for me in [so-and-so woman]—naming her by her name—in my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, and if someone other than her is better for me than her in my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then decree her for me." Or he said: "And ordain her for me."
