عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ ابْنِ عَفَّانَ رضي الله عنه يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ، فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ، حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثُ مَرَّاتٍ، لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ»، قَالَ: فَأَصَابَ أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ الْفَالِجُ، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي سَمِعَ مِنْهُ الْحَدِيثَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا لَكَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، وَلَا كَذَبَ عُثْمَانُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَكِنَّ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي أَصَابَنِي فِيهِ مَا أَصَابَنِي غَضِبْتُ فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا.
Kutoka kwa Abana bin Othman amesema: Nilimsikia Othman bin Affan radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake akisema: Nilimsikia Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akisema: "Yeyote atakayesema: Bismillaahi lladhi laa yadhurru ma'asmihi shai un fil Ardhwi walaa fis samaai, wahuwas samiiu'l 'aliim, (Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu ambaye hakuna kinachoweza kudhuru pamoja na jina lake kitu chochote ardhini wala mbinguni, naye ni msikivu na mjuzi) mara tatu, basi halitomfika balaa la ghafla, mpaka atakapoamka, na atakayesema wakati wa asubuhi mara tatu, halitomfika balaa la ghafla mpaka atakapofika jioni" Akasema: Akapatwa na mtihani Abana bin Othman Al-Faaliji, basi yule bwana aliyesikia hadithi akawa anamtazama, akasema kumwambia: Vipi mbona unanitazama? Wallahi sijamsemea uongo Othman, wala Othman hajamsemea uongo Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, lakini siku niliyofikwa na balaa, nilichukizwa na jambo fulani nikasahau kuisoma.
Abān ibn ‘Uthmān reported: I heard ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever says three times: 'In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing in the earth or the heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing' will not suffer sudden affliction until the morning; and whoever says it in the morning three times will not suffer sudden affliction until the evening." He said: Abān ibn ‘Uthmān was struck with paralysis, and the man who heard the Hadīth from him started looking at him, so, he said to him: Why are you looking at me? By Allah, I did not tell a lie about 'Uthmān, nor did ‘Uthmān tell a lie about the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), but the day I was afflicted with this, I got angry and forgot to say it.
Inapendeza kuleta dhikri hii asubuhi na jioni; ili mwanadam ahifadhike kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu lisimfike balaa ghafla au madhara ya msiba au mfano wa hayo.
Nguvu kubwa ya yakini kwa wema wa mwanzo kwa Mwenyezi Mungu na kuyasadikisha kwao yale aliyoyaeleza Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake.
Miongoni mwa faida za kufanywa dhikri ziwe za asubuhi na ajioni ni kuondoa hali ya kughafilika kwa muislamu na kuvuta kwake picha endelevu kuwa yeye ni mja wa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu.
Kwa kadiri inavyokuwa imani ya mtajaji Mwenyezi Mungu na unyenyekevu wake na kuhudhurisha kwake moyo, pamoja na kutakasa nia na yakini ndivyo itakavyozidi kupatikana athari ya dhikri.
