Riyad as-Salihin 1430 (Book 15, Hadith 23) #37919
Seeking Refuge in Allah's Mercy

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) seeking refuge in Allah's mercy and praising Him.

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: One night I missed the Messenger of Allah from his bed. I searched for him. When I found him he was in bowing or prostrating posture and was reciting: Subhanaka wa bi hamdika. La ilaha illa Anta (You are free from imperfection and I begin praising You. There is no true god except You)". Another narration is: My hand fell over his feet while he was in prostration with his feet erect. He was supplicating: "Allahumma inni a'udhu biridaka min sakhatika, wa bi-mu'afatika min 'uqubatika, wa a'udhu bika minka, la uhsi thana'an 'alaika, Anta kama athnaita 'ala Nafsika (O Allah! I seek protection against Your Wrath in Your Pleasure. I seek protection in Your Pardon against Your chastisement, I am not capable of enumerating praise of You. You are as You have lauded Yourself)".
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏ افتقدت النبي ذات ليلة فتحسست، فإذا هو راكع‏.‏-أو ساجد- يقول‏:‏ ‏"‏سبحانك وبحمدك لا إله إلا أنت‏"‏ ، وفي رواية‏:‏ فوقعت يدي على بطن قدميه، وهو في المسجد، وهما منصوبتان، وهو يقول‏:‏ ‏"‏اللهم إني أعوذ برضاك من سخطك، وبمعافاتك من عقوبتك، وأعوذ بك منك، لا أحصي ثناء عليك أنت كما أثنيت على نفسك‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of prayer and supplication to seek refuge in Allah's mercy. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was found one night in a bowing or prostrating posture reciting "Subhanaka wa bi hamdika. La ilaha illa Anta" which translates to "You are free from imperfection and I begin praising You. There is no true god except You". He was also supplicating "Allahumma inni a'udhu biridaka min sakhatika, wa bi-mu'afatika min 'uqubatika, wa a'udhu bika minka, la uhsi thana'an 'alaika, Anta kama athnaita 'ala Nafsika" which translates to "O Allah! I seek protection against Your Wrath in Your Pleasure. I seek protection in Your Pardon against Your chastisement, I am not capable of enumerating praise of You. You are as You have lauded Yourself". This hadith teaches us that we should always turn to prayer and supplication when seeking refuge from our Lord's wrath and ask for His mercy and forgiveness for our sins. We should also remember to praise Him for all His blessings on us as He is the only true God who deserves all our worship and adoration.
