عَنِ ابنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ الدَّعَوَاتِ، حِينَ يُمْسِي وَحِينَ يُصْبِحُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي، اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَتِي -أَو: عَوْرَاتِي- وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي، اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa bin Omari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake yeye na baba yake, amesema: Hakuwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akiacha dua hizi, kila anaposhinda jioni na kila anapoamka: "Ewe Mwenyezi Mungu hakika mimi ninakuomba unipe afya katika Dunia na Akhera, Ewe Mwenyezi Mungu hakika mimi ninakuomba msamaha na afya katika dini yangu na dunia yangu na familia yangu na mali yangu, ewe Mwenyezi Mungu sitiri uchi wangu -Au aibu zangu- na utie amani yote ninayoyahofia, ewe Mwenyezi Mungu nihifadhi toka mbele yangu, na nyuma yangu, na kuliani kwangu, na kushotoni kwangu, na juu yangu, na ninajilinda kwa utukufu wako nisijekuvamiwa tokea chini yangu".
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never abandoned these supplications in the evening and the morning: "O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly life, my family, and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my imperfection—or my imperfections—and secure my fears. O Allah, protect me from before me, from behind me, from my right, from my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge with Your greatness from being suddenly killed from beneath me."
Kudumu na maneno haya kwa kumuiga Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake.
Mwanadam kama alivyo anaamrishwa kumuomba Mwenyezi Mungu afya katika dini, vile vile kaamrishwa kumuomba katika dunia.
Amesema Attwayibi: Imekusanya pande zote sita; kwa sababu maafa mengi hutokea katika pande hizo, na akatia mkazo katika upande wa chini kwa sababu maafa ya kutoka chini huwa mabaya zaidi.
Kilicho bora wakati wa kusoma Adhkari, wakati wa asubuhi: Ni kuanzia kuchomoza kwa Alfajiri mpaka kuchomoza Jua mwanzo wa mchana, na kuanzia baada ya Lasiri mpaka kabla ya Maghribi, ikiwa atasema baada ya wakati huo, yaani: Akazisoma asubuhi baada ya Jua kunyanyuka itafaa pia, na hata akisema baaada ya Adhudhuri itamfaa pia, na ikiwa atazazisema baada ya Maghrib itamtosheleza pia, huo ndio wakati wa kufanya dhikri.
Dalili ikionyesha kuwa dhikri inamuda maalum wakati wa usiku kama kusoma aya mbili za mwisho katika suratul baqara basi hii inakuwa ni baada ya kuzama kwa Jua.
