Abu Dawood, in Sunan as well, with
an authentic chain of narration, narrated to us
by Sayyidina Mu'adh.
This is a very, very beautiful hadith.
It really is.
It's very short, but it's really, really, really
nice.
And the reason is because what Mu'adh
tells us happened.
And the theme is the etiquettes of salah,
so I'm going to share with you a
nice du'a to make.
But really, the reason I love the hadith
is not because of the du'a that
was taught, but because of what actually happens.
Mu'adh says, يقول معاذ أخذ بيد رسول
الله صلى الله عليه وسلم One day the
Prophet came and he took me by my
hand.
وقال لي يا معاذ والله إني لأحبك He
said, Oh Mu'adh, I swear by Allah
that I love you.
صلى الله عليه وسلم What is he going
to say?
What response can Mu'adh have back to
the Prophet, that I'm telling him, I love
you.
The hadith that I'm narrating to you is
the short version, because there's a longer version
in Ibn Tabarani's Maajim.
Where Mu'adh would not know what to
reply.
وقال فيداك أبي وأمي يا رسول الله It's
not that I love you, I would sacrifice
my eyes for you.
I would give my family up for you.
فقال يا معاذ والله إني لأحبك فلا تدعنا
أن تقول دبر كل صلاة اللهم أعني على
ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك So he said, Oh
Mu'adh, I love you.
So Mu'adh didn't know what to say
back.
Mu'adh never leave after saying the following.
He always do this after every Salah.
Say, Oh Allah, strengthen me, help me.
To remember you.
And to be grateful to you.
And to worship and serve you in a
way that is appropriate.
That has excellence in it, that is deserving
of you.
And he left him.
You think Mu'adh ever left that Dua
after that day?
You think he ever prayed a prayer without
saying اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك
And that's why he told, that's why we
have it today.
That's why many of you know this Dua
already.
And if you don't, then now you do.
It's because Mu'adh had to share it
with us.
Because the Prophet didn't just say it in
a general setting.
No, he took them by the hand.
He told them, والله إني لأحبك هنيئاً لمعاذ
And this is why Mu'adh is one
of my favorite Sahaba.
Growing up, he was my favorite.
The reason, because you would find there was
this special affection he showed him.
He showed Mu'adh this special degree of
love.
And it was because, if you look at
Mu'adh's life, you find Mu'adh to
be someone who not only adheres to the
Prophet's teachings, but he was a person of
knowledge.
He cared to learn and to teach.
Mu'adh was one of the great Fuqaha
of the Sahaba.
And Islam was spread throughout the years after
he passed away.
Until Mu'adh died during the Ta'un
with Abu Ubaidah.
For all those years, he was one of
the great educators amongst the Sahaba.
