Question

What is the reference for this du’a?

اللهم اجعل نبينا لنا فرطا واجعل حوضه لنا موردا. اللهم احشرنا في زمرته واستعملنا في سنته وتوفنا على ملته

 

Answer

These words appear in a narration attributed to ‘Ali, the son of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma). It is reported that he would recite a lengthy du’a after Tahajjud Salah, within which these words are found.

However, ‘Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) has stated that he has not come across the chain of narrators.

(Al Qawlul Badi’, pg. 377-379)

The meaning is correct. Therefore, it may be recited, but it should not be regarded as a Sunnah du’a nor should it be attributed to ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

Translation

O Allah, make our Nabi a forerunner for us, and make his pond a place where we drink. O Allah, resurrect us in his company, use us in [the service of] his Sunnah, and grant us death upon his religion.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

القول البديع في الصلاة على الحبيب الشفيع (ص:۳۷۷-۳۷۹)
(بعد الفراغ من التهجد)
وأما بعد الفراغ من التهجد فيروى- مما لم اقف على سنده– أن علي بن عبد الله بن عباس كان إذا فرغ من صلاته بالليل حمد الله وأثنى عليه ثم يصلى على النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ثم يقول اللهم إني أسالك بأفضل مسألتك وبأحب اسمائك إليك وأكرمها عليك… اللهم اجعل نبينا لنا فرطا وحوضه لنا موردا اللهم احشرنا في زمرته واستعملنا بسنته وتوفنا على ملته واجعلنا في زمرته وحزبه، اللهم واجمع بيننا وبينه كما آمنا به ولم نره ولا تفرق بيننا وبينه حتى تدخلنا مدخله وتجعلنا من رفقائه مع النبيين والصديقين والشهداء والصالحين وحسن أولئك رفيقا…
