I said, "Messenger of Allah, teach me something to ask Allah for."He replied, "Ask Allah for well-being."I waited for several days, then came back and said, "Messenger of Allah, teach me something to ask Allah for."He said to me, "Abbas, uncle of the Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for well-being in this world and the next."
حدثنا أحمد بن منيع حدثنا عبيدة بن حميد عن يزيد بن أبي زياد عن عبد الله بن الحارث
قلت يا رسول الله علمني شيئا أسأله الله عز وجل قال سل الله العافية فمكثت أياما ثم جئت فقلت يا رسول الله علمني شيئا أسأله الله فقال لي يا عباس يا عم رسول الله سل الله العافية في الدنيا والآخرة
