Hadeeth of the day

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ دَعْوَةُ ذِي النُّونِ إِذْ دَعَا وَهُوَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ‏.‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْعُ بِهَا رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏

Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Sa’d narrated from his father, from Sa’d, that the Messenger of Allah said:

“The supplication of Dhun-Nun (Prophet Yunus) when he supplicated, while in the belly of the whale, was: ‘There is none worthy of worship except You, Glory to You, Indeed, I have been of the transgressors. (Laa Ilaaha Illaa Anta Subhaanaka Innee Kuntu Minaz-Zhaalimeen)’ So indeed, no Muslim man supplicated with it for anything, ever, except Allah responds to him.” (Sahih)

وَذَا النُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَـضِباً فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَى فِى الظُّلُمَـتِ أَن لاَّ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَـنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّـلِمِينَ - فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَـهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَكَذلِكَ نُنجِـى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darknesses, saying: "There is none worthy of worship except You. Glory be to You, Indeed, I have been of the transgressors." So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers. (Qur'an, Surah al-Anbiyaa' (21) :87-88)

Narrated Mus'ab (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):

Sa'd used to recommend five (statements) and mentioned that the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to recommend them.

(They were) "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from miserliness; and seek refuge with You
from cowardice; and seek refuge with You from being sent back to geriatric
old age; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of this world (i.e.
the affliction of Ad-Dajjal etc.); and seek refuge with You from the
punishment of the grave."

3rd Dhul Hijjah 1434 (8th October 2013)

Narrated 'Aisha (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

Two old ladies from among the Jewish ladies entered upon me and said, "The
dead are punished in their graves," but I thought they were telling a lie
and did not believe them in the beginning. When they went away and the
Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) entered upon me, I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Two old ladies.." and told him the whole story. He said, "They
told the truth; the dead are really punished, to the extent that all the
animals hear (the sound resulting from) their punishment." Since then I
always saw him seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave
in his prayers.

the couple are destined to have a child (out of that very sexual relation),
then Satan will never be able to harm that child."
