أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ بُرْهَانَ، وَأَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالُوا: أخبرنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ قَالَ: حدثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، حدثنا هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أُعْطِيتُ فَوَاتِحَ الْكَلَامِ وَخَوَاتِمَهُ، وَجَوَامِعَهُ "، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَكَ اللهُ فَعَلَّمَنَا التَّشَهُّدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ الْحَلِيمِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَيُقَالُ: إِنَّ مِنْ جَوَامِعِ الْكَلِمِ قَوْلُهُ ﷺ لِلَّذِي سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ: سَلْ رَبَّكَ الْيَقِينَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ. وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يُعْمَلُ لِلْآخِرَةِ يُتَقَبَّلُ إِلَّا بِالْيَقِينِ، وَلَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا يَهْنَأُ صَاحِبُهُ إِلَّا بِالْأَمْنِ وَالصِّحَّةِ وَفَرَاغِ الْقَلْبِ فَجَمَعَ أَمْرَ الْآخِرَةِ كُلَّهُ فِي كَلِمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَأَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّهُ فِي كَلِمَةٍ أُخْرَى "

He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I have been given the openings of speech, its closings, and its comprehensive forms." So we said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach us from what Allah has taught you." So he taught us the tashahhud in the prayer. Al-Ḥalīmī, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "It is said that among the comprehensive words is his saying ﷺ to the one who asked him to teach him what to supplicate with: 'Ask your Lord for certainty and well-being.' That is because nothing that is done for the Hereafter is accepted except with certainty, and nothing of the affairs of this world is enjoyed by its owner except with security, health, and freedom of the heart. So he gathered the whole matter of the Hereafter in one word and the whole matter of this world in another word."
