حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، نَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، نَا مِنْدَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ، قَالَ:
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا بُرَيْدَةُ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ، مَنْ أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا عَلَّمَهُنَّ إِيَّاهُ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْسَهُنَّ أَبَدًا ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " قُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ضَعِيفٌ فَقَوِّ فِي رِضَاكَ ضَعْفِي، وَخُذْ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ بِنَاصِيَتِي، وَاجْعَلِ الْإِسْلَامَ مُنْتَهَى رِضَائِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ضَعِيفٌ فَقَوِّنِي، وَإِنِّي ذَلِيلٌ فَأَعِزَّنِي، وَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ فَأَغْنِنِي ".

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: 'O Buraydah, shall I teach you words which, if God intends good for a person, He teaches them to him and he never forgets them?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of God.' He said: 'Say: O God, I am weak, so strengthen my weakness in Your pleasure, and take me by my forelock to goodness, and make Islam the utmost of my satisfaction. O God, I am weak, so strengthen me; I am lowly, so honor me; I am poor, so enrich me.'
