أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ

كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ تَتَوَفَّاهَا لَكَ مَمَاتُهَا وَمَحْيَاهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهَا فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا وَإِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ بَلْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

✧ Ibn ʿUmar, when he retired to his bed, would say: “O Allah, You created my soul and You take it. Yours is its death and its life. O Allah, if You take it, forgive it; and if You keep it alive, protect it. O Allah, I ask You for well-being.” A man from his children said to him: “Did ʿUmar used to say this?” He said: “Rather, one better than ʿUmar used to say it.” We thought he meant the Prophet ﷺ.
