   مُعَقِّبَاتٌ لَا يَخِيبُ قَائِلُهُنَّ - أَوْ قَالَ: فَاعِلُهُنَّ - أَنْ تُكَبِّرَ اللهَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَتُسَبِّحَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَتَحْمَدَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ. قَالَ الْحَكَمُ: فَمَا تَرَكْتُهُنَّ بَعْدُ

   ✧ There are phrases that follow the prayers, whose utterer—or he said doer—will not be disappointed: to magnify God thirty-four times, glorify Him thirty-three times, and praise Him thirty-three times after every prayer. Al-Hakam said, "I have not abandoned them since."

   لَقِيَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ فَقَالَ: أَلَا أُهْدِي إِلَيْكَ هَدِيَّةً ؟ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا: قَدْ عَرَفْنَا كَيْفَ نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ، فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ ؟ قَالَ: " قُولُوا: اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

   ✧ Ka'b b. 'Ujrah met me and said, "Shall I give you a gift? The Prophet ﷺ came out and we said, 'We know how to greet you, but how should we invoke blessings upon you?' He said, 'Say: O God, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Abraham; indeed You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O God, grant grace to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You granted grace to the family of Abraham; indeed You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.'"

   جَلَسْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ، فَقَالَ: فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ؛ حُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى الْجَهْدَ يَبْلُغُ بِكَ مَا أَرَى ! انْحَرْ شَاةً، فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَجِدُ، فَنَزَلَتْ: فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ؛ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ، نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ خَاصَّةً وَهِيَ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً

   ✧ I sat with Ka'b b. 'Ujrah in this mosque and asked him about God's saying, Mighty and Majestic: "Then a ransom of fasting or charity or sacrifice." He said, "It was revealed concerning me. I was carried to the Messenger of God ﷺ while lice were falling on my face. He said, 'I did not think the hardship had reached you to what I see! Slaughter a sheep.' I said, 'I cannot find one.' So it was revealed: 'Then a ransom of fasting'—three days—'or feeding six poor people half a saa'. It was revealed specifically about me, but it is general for you."

   " إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَهُوَ فِي صَلَاةٍ، فَلَا يُشَبِّكَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَصَابِعَهُ بَعْدَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ أَوْ بَعْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ الصَّلَاةَ

   ✧ "When one of you performs ablution and then goes out for prayer, he is in prayer. So let none of you interlace his fingers after he performs ablution or after he enters prayer."

   دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَالَ: " مَنْ هَاهُنَا ؟ هَلْ تَسْمَعُونَ ؟ إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ يَعْمَلُونَ بِغَيْرِ طَاعَةِ اللهِ، فَمَنْ شَارَكَهُمْ فِي عَمَلِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَشْرَكْهُمْ فِي عَمَلِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ

   ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ entered the mosque upon us and said, "Who is here? Do you hear? After me there will be rulers who act contrary to obedience to God. Whoever shares in their deeds and helps them in their wrongdoing is not of me and I am not of him. And whoever does not share in their deeds and does not help them in their wrongdoing is of me and I am of him."

   كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَقَدْ حَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْبَيْتِ، وَلِي وَفْرَةٌ، فَجَعَلَ الْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَيَّ - أَوْ قَالَ: عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ؟ "، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ، وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ نُسُكًا

   ✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ at the time of al-Hudaybiyyah, in a state of ihram, while the polytheists had blocked us from the House. I had long hair, and lice were falling on me—or he said on my face. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me, "Do your parasites bother you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast three days, or feed six poor people, or offer a sacrifice."

   خَرَجْتُ مَعَ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا، فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا رَأَى النَّاسَ عُنُقًا وَاحِدًا يَنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ "، قُلْتُ: يَنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَبِدْعَةٌ وَتَرْكٌ لِلسُّنَّةِ

   ✧ I went out with Ka'b b. 'Ujrah on the day of Eid, and he did not pray before it. When we had prayed, he saw the people all as one going to the mosque. He said, "What are these doing?" I said, "They are going to the mosque." He said, "This is an innovation and an abandonment of the Sunnah."
