كُنْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا
One day, I was behind the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),
He said: O boy!
Indeed, I will teach you some words:
Keep Allah in mind and He will protect you.
احْفَظِ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ
Keep Allah in mind and you will find Him before you.
إِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللَّهَ
If you ask, ask Allah.
وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ
And if you seek help, seek help from Allah.
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأُمَّةَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ
Know that if the nation gathered to benefit you with anything, they would not benefit you except with what Allah has decreed for you.
وَإِنِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَضُرُّوكَ إِلَّا بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ
And if they gathered to harm you with anything, they would not harm you except with what Allah has decreed against you.
رُفِعَتِ الْأَقْلَامُ وَجَفَّتِ الصُّحُفُ
The pens have been lifted, and the pages have dried.
رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ رَقَم ٢٥١٦
Narrated by Tirmidhi [hadith number: 2516]
وَقَالَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
And he said: A good and sound hadith.
وَفِي رِوَايَةِ غَيْرِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ
And in a narration other than Tirmidhi's:
احْفَظِ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ أَمَامَكَ
Keep Allah in mind and you will find Him before you.
تَعَرَّفْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي الرَّخَاءِ يَعْرِفْكَ فِي الشِّدَّةِ
Get to know Allah in prosperity, and He will know you in adversity.
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَا أَخْطَأَكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَكَ
And know that what missed you was never going to reach you.
وَمَا أَصَابَكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُخْطِئَكَ
And what reached you was never going to miss you.
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ النَّصْرَ مَعَ الصَّبْرِ
And know that victory comes with patience.
وَأَنَّ الْفَرَجَ مَعَ الْكَرْبِ
And relief comes with distress.
وَأَنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
And with hardship comes ease.
