3859. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Allāhumma! Inni asa'luka bismikat-tāhirit-tayyibil-mubārak al-ahabbi ilaika, alladhi idha du'ita bihi ajabta, wa idha su'ilta bihi a'taita, wa idhasturhimta bihi rahimta, wa idhastufrijta bihi farrajta (O Allāh! I ask You by Your pure, good and blessed Name which is most beloved to You, which if You are called thereby You answer, and if You are asked thereby You give, if You are asked for mercy thereby You bestow mercy, and if You are asked for relief (from distress) thereby You grant relief.")" She said: "He said one day: 'O 'Aishah, do you know that Allāh has told me the Name which, if He is called thereby, He responds?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, may my father and mother be ransomed for you! Teach it to me.' He said: 'You should not learn it, O 'Aishah.' So I moved aside and sat for a while, then I got up and kissed his head, then I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, teach it to me.' He said: 'You should not learn it, O 'Aishah, and I should not teach it to you, for you should not ask for any worldly things thereby.'" She said: "So I got up and performed ablution, then I prayed two Rak'ah, then I said: 'O Allāh, I call upon Allāh, and I call upon You, Ar-Rahmān (the Most Gracious), and I call upon You, Al-Barr Ar-Rahīm (The Most Kind, the Most Merciful), and I call upon You by all Your beautiful Names, those that I know and those that I do not know, (asking) that You forgive me and have mercy on me.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ smiled, then he said: 'It is among the names by which you called upon (Allāh).'" (Da'if)

3859 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُوسُفَ الصَّيْدَلَانِيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الرَّقِّيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الطَّاهِرِ الطَّيِّبِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْأَحَبِّ إِلَيْكَ، الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ أَجَبْتَ، وَإِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهِ أَعْطَيْتَ، وَإِذَا اسْتُرْحِمْتَ بِهِ رَحِمْتَ، وَإِذَا اسْتُفْرِجَتَ بِهِ فَرَّجْتَ» قَالَتْ: وَقَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: «يَا عَائِشَةُ هَلْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ دَلَّنِي عَلَى الِاسْمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ؟» قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي فَعَلِّمْنِيهِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ» ، قَالَتْ: فَتَنَحَّيْتُ وَجَلَسْتُ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَقَبَّلْتُ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عَلِّمْنِيهِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكِ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَكِ أَنْ تَسْأَلِي بِهِ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا» ، قَالَتْ: فَقُمْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ اللَّهَ، وَأَدْعُوكَ الرَّحْمَنَ، وَأَدْعُوكَ الْبَرَّ الرَّحِيمَ، وَأَدْعُوكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا، وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ، أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَتَرْحَمَنِي، قَالَتْ: فَاسْتَضْحَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَفِي الْأَسْمَاءِ الَّتِي دَعَوْتِ بِهَا»
