٩٨. عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ يَوْمًا ثُمّ قَالَ:
«يَا مُعَاذُ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ» فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاذٌ:
«بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّكَ» قَالَ:
«أُوصِيكَ يَا مُعَاذُ لَا تَدَعَنَّ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ أَنْ تَقُولَ:
(اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ)».
98. It is narrated from Mu’adh b. Jabal (r.a.) that one day the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) held his hand and said:
“By Allah, I love you, Mu’adh!”
Mu’adh (r.a.) said:
“May my parents be sacrificed for you[1] O Messenger of Allah! I love you back!”
Then, the Messenger of Allah said:
“I advise you to never leave to recite the folllowing supplication after every (prescribed) prayer:
“O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshiping You well.” (Ahmad, V, 244-245; Abu Dawud, Witr, 26/1522; Nasai, Sahw, 60/1301)
