شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

A Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

فَإِذَا قُلْتَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَالْمَسَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ شَيْءٌ، وَلَهَذَا اشْتَكَى رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا وَجَدَهُ مِنْ لَدْعَةِ عَقْرَبٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ: أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ: لَمْ تَضُرَّكَ».

If you recite it three times morning and evening, nothing will harm you. A man once complained to the Prophet, peace be upon him, about a scorpion sting he had suffered. The Prophet replied, "Had you said, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created' when evening fell, it would not have harmed you."

وَمِنَ الْأَذْكَارِ الصَّبَاحِيَّةِ قَوْلُ: «اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ» فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ: «اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ (١) فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يُحَافِظَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأَذْكَارِ الْوَارِدَةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ، لِيَكُونَ مِنَ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ، وَاللَّهُ الْمُوَفِّقُ.

Among the morning remembrances is: 'O Allah, by You we reach the morning, by You we reach the evening, by You we live, by You we die, and to You is the resurrection.' In the evening, one says: 'O Allah, by You we reach the evening, by You we reach the morning, by You we die, by You we live, and to You is the final destination.' A person should maintain these remembrances reported from the Prophet to be among the men and women who remember Allah often. Allah is the Grantor of success.
