Question

There is a narration wherein Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was brought in front of Hajjaj ibn Yusuf who intended to harm him. Sayyiduna Anas said to Hajjaj “You will not be able to harm me due to a du’a Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) taught me which is a protection from Shaytan, tyrant rulers and predatory animals”.

What is the source and authenticity of the narration?

 

Answer

Imam Ibnus Sunni (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration with a very weak chain.

(‘Amalul Yawmi Wal Laylah, Hadith: 347)

The Arabic text of this version is as follows:

اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، بِسْمِ اللهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَدِينِي، بِسْمِ اللهِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَعْطَانِي رَبِّي، بِسْمِ اللهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ، بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ دَاءٌ، بِسْمِ اللهِ افْتَتَحْتُ، وَعَلٰى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ، اللهُ اللهُ رَبِّي، لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا، أَسْأَلُكَ اللّٰهُمَّ بِخَيْرِكَ مِنْ خَيْرِكَ، الَّذِي لَا يُعْطِيهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ، عَزَّ جَارُكَ، وَجَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ، وَلَا إِلٰهَ غَيْرُكَ، اجْعَلْنِي فِي عِيَاذِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ سُلْطَانٍ، وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَحْتَرِسُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ خَلَقْتَهُ، وَأَحْتَرِزُ بِكَ مِنْهُمْ، وَأُقَدِّمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ، اللهُ الصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ يَسَارِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) has also recorded this narration with difference in the wording (Kitabud Du’a, Hadith: 1059). ‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahullah) has declared this chain weak (Al Mughni ‘An Hamlil Asfar, Hadith: 1190). The Arabic text of this version is as follows:

بِسْمِ اللهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَدِينِي، بِسْمِ اللهِ عَلَى مَا أَعْطَانِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، بِسْمِ اللهِ عَلَى أَهْلِي وَمَالِي، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ رَبِّي، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا، أَجِرْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ، إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ، فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

 

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.
