English Translation

Yazid told us: Fudayl ibn Marzuq informed us: Abu Salamah al-Juhani told us, from al-Qasim ibn Abd al-Rahman, from his father, from Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "No worry or grief ever befalls anyone who says, ‘O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your male servant and son of Your female servant; my forelock is in Your hand, Your judgment concerning me proceeds, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that is Yours, by which You have named Yourself, or taught to any of Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my breast, the departure of my grief, and the removal of my worry’ — but Allah removes his worry and grief and replaces it with relief." He said: It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not learn it?" He said, "Certainly, it is fitting for whoever hears it to learn it."
