He said to his father, "Father, I hear you supplicate every morning, 'Allah, grant me wellness in my body. Allah, grant me wellness in my hearing. Allah, grant me wellness in my sight. There is no god but You.' You repeat this three times in the morning and three times in the evening. And you say, 'Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.' You repeat this three times in the morning and three times in the evening."He replied, "Yes, my son. I heard the Prophet ﷺ supplicate with these words, and I love to follow his way."He also said that the Prophet ﷺ said, "The supplications of the distressed are, 'Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so do not entrust me to myself for the blink of an eye. Set right all my affairs. There is no god but You.'"
أنه قال لأبيه: يا أبة إني أسمعك تدعو كل غداة: اللهم عافني في بدني، اللهم عافني في سمعي، اللهم عافني في بصري لا إله إلا أنت تعيدها ثلاثا حين تصبح، وثلاثا حين تمسي. وتقول: اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الكفر والفقر، اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب القبر لا إله إلا أنت تعيدها ثلاثا حين تصبح، وثلاثا حين تمسي قال: نعم يا بني إني سمعت النبي ﷺ يدعو بهن، فأحب أن أستن بسنته. قال: وقال النبي ﷺ: دعوات المكروب: اللهم رحمتك أرجو، فلا تكلني إلى نفسي طرفة عين، وأصلح لي شأني كله لا إله إلا أنت.
Abu Dawud (5090), Ahmad (20430), Bukhari in Adab al-Mufrad (701), and Nasai in Amal al-Yawm wal-Layla (22, 572, 651) narrated it, and Ibn Hibban (970) graded it sahih, restricting it to the supplication for one in distress. All of them narrated it from the hadith of Abu Amir Abdul-Malik bin Marwan, who said, "Abdul-Jaleel bin Atiya narrated to us, Jafar bin Maymun narrated to us, Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakra narrated to me," and he related it. The wording given is that of Ahmad and Bukhari. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Abdul-Jaleel bin Atiya. As for Jafar bin Maymun, there is disagreement about him, though his hadith is considered hasan when it contains nothing objectionable, especially in matters concerning the merits of deeds. Ibn Hajar also graded it hasan in Nataij Afkar (2/390).On this subject there is also a report from Abdullah bin Ghannam Bayadi that the Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever says in the morning, 'O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me this morning is from You alone, with no partner, to You belongs all praise and to You belongs all thanks,' has thereby fulfilled the gratitude due for his day. Whoever says the same in the evening has fulfilled the gratitude due for his night." Abu Dawud (5073), Nasai in Sunan al-Kubra (9750), and Ibn Hibban (861) all narrated it through various routes from Sulayman bin Bilal, from Rabia bin Abu Abdul-Rahman, from Abdullah bin Anbasah, from Abdullah bin Ghannam Bayadi, and he related it.Abdullah bin Anbasah is unknown. Ibn Main was asked about him and said, "I do not know him." Abu Zura was asked about him and said, "He is from Madinah, I do not know him except through this hadith." Some narrated it from Sulayman bin Bilal with this chain but attributed it to the Musnad of Ibn Abbas, and this is a mistake, as more than one scholar has said, including Abu Naeem and Ibn Asakir.As for what is reported from Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah
said, "Whoever says in the morning, "So exalted is Allah when you retire at night and when you rise in the morning. And to Him is due all praise throughout the heavens and the earth, and in the evening and when the sun begins to decline. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living, and gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out" [Rum 30:17–19], will attain what he missed during his day, and whoever says them in the evening will attain what he missed during his night" — its chain of transmission is very daif.Abu Dawud (5076) and Ibn Adi (3/1226) narrated it, both through the route of Ibn Wahb, who said, "Layth bin Saad informed me, from Saeed bin Bashir Najari, from Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahman bin Bailamani, from his father, from Ibn Abbas," and he related it. Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahman bin Bailamani and his father are both daif, and the son is even weaker, to the point that Ibn Hibban and Ibn Adi accused him. Saeed bin Bashir Najari Ansari was narrated from by no one but Layth, and Bukhari said, "His hadith is not sahih."
