5540. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Al-Hârith said: "When it was said to Zaid bin Arqam: "Tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, he said: "I will not tell you anything but that which the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commanded us to say: 'Allâhumma innî a'ûdhu binka min al-'ajzi wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wal-harami, wa 'adhâbil-qabri. Allâhumma âti nafsi taqwâhâ, wa zakkihâ anta khairu min zakkâhâ, anta waliyyuhâ wa mawlâhâ. Allâhumma innî a'ûdhu binka min nafsin lâ tashba'u wa min qalbin lâ yakhsa'u wa min 'ilmin lâ yanfa'u wa du'a'in lâ yustajâb' (O Allâh, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, old age, the torment of the grave. O Allâh, make my soul obedient and purify it, for You are the best One to purify it, You are its Guardian and Lord. O Allâh, I seek refuge in You from a soul that is not satisfied, a heart that is not humble, knowledge that is of no benefit and a supplication that is not answered.)”(Sahīh)

5538 - أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: كَانَ إِذَا قِيلَ لِزَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ حَدِّثْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: لَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ، وَيَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا، وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا، أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ، وَدَعْوَةٍ لَا تُسْتَجَابُ»
