- وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثَيْمٍ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي عُثَيْمٌ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ، قَالَتْ:

كَانَتْ لَيْلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْسَلَّ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ، فَخَرَجْتُ غَيْرَى، فَإِذَا بِهِ ﷺ سَاجِدًا كَالثَّوْبِ الطَّرِيحِ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِي، وَخَيَالِي، وَآمَنَ بِكَ فُؤَادِي، هَذِهِ يَدِي، وَمَا جَنَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي، يَا عَظِيمُ يُرْجَى لِكُلِّ عَظِيمٍ، فَاغْفِرِ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ، فَرَفَعَ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ: مَا أَخْرَجَكِ ؟ قُلْتُ: ظَنَنْتُ ظَنًّا، قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ، فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللهَ تَعَالَى، إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ أَتَانِي، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي سَمِعْتِ، فَقُولِيهَا فِي سُجُودِكِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَهَا لَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ

✧ It was my night with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he slipped away. I thought he had gone to one of his other wives, so I went out feeling jealous. Then I found him ﷺ prostrating like a garment thrown on the ground. I heard him saying: 'My physical form and my inner self have prostrated to You, and my heart has believed in You. This is my hand and what I have committed against myself. O Great One, from whom every great thing is hoped, forgive the great sin.' Then he ﷺ raised his head and said: 'What brought you out?' I said: 'I had a thought.' He ﷺ said: 'Some thoughts are sinful. Seek forgiveness from God Almighty. Gabriel ﷺ came to me and ordered me to say these words that you heard. Say them in your prostration, for whoever says them will not raise his head before he is forgiven.'
