حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ أَمْلَاهُ عَلَيْنَا بِبَغْدَادَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ سَعَادَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ اسْتِخَارَتُهُ اللَّهَ وَمِنْ سَعَادَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ رِضَاهُ بِمَا قَضَاهُ اللَّهُ وَمِنْ شِقْوَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ تَرْكُهُ اسْتِخَارَةَ اللَّهِ وَمِنْ شِقْوَةِ ابْنِ آدَمَ سَخَطُهُ بِمَا قَضَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Among the sources of happiness for the son of Adam is seeking Allah's guidance (istikhara). Among the sources of happiness for the son of Adam is being content with what Allah has decreed. And among the sources of misery for the son of Adam is abandoning istikhara, and among the sources of misery for the son of Adam is his dissatisfaction with what Allah has decreed.'
