أَخْبَرَنِي زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ
جَاءَ حُصَيْنٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ كَانَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ خَيْرًا لِقَوْمِكَ مِنْكَ كَانَ يُطْعِمُهُمُ الْكَبِدَ وَالسَّنَامَ وَأَنْتَ تَنْحَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ حُصَيْنًا قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَاذَا تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ؟ قَالَ تَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْزِمَ لِي عَلَى رُشْدٍ أَمْرِي ثُمَّ إِنَّ حُصَيْنًا أَسْلَمَ بَعْدُ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ سَأَلْتُكَ الْمَرَّةَ الْأُولَى وَإِنِّي أَقُولُ الْآنَ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ؟ قَالَ قُلِ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَخْطَأْتُ وَمَا جَهِلْتُ وَمَا عَلِمْتُ

✧ Husayn came to the Prophet ﷺ before embracing Islam and said: 'O Muhammad, Abd al-Muttalib was better for your people than you. He used to feed them liver and hump, while you slaughter them.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Whatever Allah wills.' Then Husayn said: 'O Muhammad, what do you command me to say?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self, and I ask You to direct me to the right course in my affairs.' Then Husayn embraced Islam later, and came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I had asked you the first time, and now I say: What do you command me to say?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, forgive me what I have concealed and what I have revealed, what I have done by mistake and what I do not know, and what I know.'
