Abdullah bin Yazid al-Khatmi reported, and I believe he traced it back to the Prophet ﷺ, that the Prophet ﷺ used to say, "Allah, grant me Your love and the love of whatever is beneficial to me in Your sight. Allah, whatever You provide me of the things I love, make it a source of strength for me in what You love, and whatever You withhold from me of the things I love, make it free time for me to devote to what You love."
عن عبد الله بن يزيد الخطمي، أراه رفعه إلى النبي ﷺ أن النبي ﷺ كان يقول: اللهم ارزقني حبك وحب ما ينفعني حبه عندك، اللهم ما رزقتني مما أحب، فاجعله لي قوة فيما تحب، وما زويت عني مما أحب، فاجعله لي فراغا فيما تحب.
Ibn Mubarak related it in Zuhd (430) from Hammad bin Salama, from Abu Jafar Ansari, from Muhammad bin Kaab Qurazi, from Abdullah bin Yazid Khatmi, and he mentioned it. Its chain is sahih, and Abu Jafar Ansari is Umayr bin Yazid Khatmi.Tirmidhi related it (3491) from Sufyan bin Waki, who said, Ibn Abu Adi narrated to us, from Hammad bin Salama, with the same chain. Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith."I say, this is because its chain contains Sufyan bin Waki, about whom there is some criticism, otherwise the chain of Ibn Mubarak is sahih.On this subject there is also a report from Abu Darda, who said, the Messenger of Allah said, "Among Dawud's supplications he would say, 'O Allah, I ask You for Your love, and the love of those who love You, and the deeds that lead me to Your love. O Allah, make Your love dearer to me than myself, my family, and cold water.'" He said, and whenever the Messenger of Allah mentioned Dawud and spoke of him, he would say, "He was the most devoted worshiper among mankind."This was related by Tirmidhi (3490), Bazzar in Kashf Astar (2354), and Hakim (2/433), all of them through Muhammad bin Saad Ansari, from Abdullah bin Rabia bin Yazid Dimashqi, from Aidhullah, Abu Idris Khawlani, from Abu Darda, who mentioned it.Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith." Hakim said, "This is a hadith sahih in its chain," but Dhahabi challenged him, saying, rather this Abdullah, Ahmad said, "his hadiths are fabricated."I say, perhaps he was confused about this, because in Hakim's narration it appears as "Abdullah bin Yazid Dimashqi," whereas the man in question is Abdullah bin Rabia bin Yazid Dimashqi, one of the narrators used by Tirmidhi.As for this statement of Ahmad, it concerns Abdullah bin Yazid bin Adam Dimashqi, as Dhahabi mentioned in Mizan (2/526), and he is not one of the narrators used by Tirmidhi. Rather, the one mentioned in this chain is Abdullah bin Rabia bin Yazid Dimashqi, as appears in Bazzar's chain. He is also said to be Abdullah bin Yazid bin Rabia, and this man is unknown, as Ibn Hajar said, so the defect in this chain is his being unknown.As for what is related from Ayesha, who said, the Messenger of Allah used to say, "O Allah, grant me health in my body, grant me health in my eyesight, and let it remain with me until my death. There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds." Its chain is disconnected.This was related by Tirmidhi (3480), Abu Yaala (4690), Ibn Adi (2/815), and Hakim (1/530), all of them through Habib bin Abu Thabit, from Urwa, from Ayesha, who mentioned it.Tirmidhi said, "This is a gharib hadith. I heard Muhammad say, Habib bin Abu Thabit never heard anything from Urwa bin Zubayr."Likewise, Ahmad, Abu Hatim, and others denied that he heard anything from him.Hakim said, "This is a hadith sahih in its chain, if Habib's hearing from Urwa is confirmed."This hadith of Ayesha has other routes that are even weaker than the one mentioned.
