Authentic Supplications of the Prophet
When Someone Else is Going on a Journey (192) |
Salem said: 'Ibn `Umar 
used to say to the man, if he wanted to go on a journey: come closer
to me and let me entrust you [bid you farewell] like the Messenger
of Allah
used to entrust us, then he would say: "'Astawdi`ul-lãha deenaka
wa'amãnataka wa khawãteemu `amalika.(204)
From another perspective, he used to - meaning the Prophet
- when he would entrust someone off, he
take hold of his hand, and not let go of it until the man would be
the one to let go of the Prophet 's
hand, and he mentioned this. |
| Footnotes
(204) I entrust, with Allah,
your religion, your trustworthiness, and your closing deeds [meaning
your final deeds before death].

Al-Albãni said: At-Tirmithi said the first perspective
was comely-sound. The second perspective was weakened by At-Tirmithi's
statement: A strange hadeeth. A hadeeth is said to be strange when
in some of its links there is o nly one narrator. Al-Albãni
included this hadeeth in The Authentic of Good Sayings as
#135.
