A comer came and started taking handfuls of the foodstuff of the Sadaqa stealthily. I took hold of him and said; By Allah; I will take you to Allah Messenger ﷺ. He said; I am needy and have many dependents; and I am in great need. I released him; and in the morning Allah Messenger ﷺ asked me; What did your prisoner do yesterday? I said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents; so; I pitied him and let him go. Allah Messenger ﷺ said; Indeed; he told you a lie and he will be coming again. I believed that he would show up again as Allah Messenger ﷺ had told me that he would return. So; I waited for him watchfully. When he showed up and started stealing handfuls of foodstuff; I caught hold of him again and said; I will definitely take you to Allah Messenger ﷺ. He said; Leave me; for I am very needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again. I pitied him and let him go. In the morning Allah Messenger ﷺ asked me; What did your prisoner do. I replied; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! He complained of his great need and of too many dependents; so I took pity on him and set him free. Allah Apostle said; Verily; he told you a lie and he will return. I waited for him attentively for the third time; and when he came and started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff; I caught hold of him and said; I will surely take you to Allah Messenger ﷺ as it is the third time you promise not to return; yet you break your promise and come. He said; Forgive me and I will teach you some words with which Allah will benefit you. I asked; What are they? He replied; Whenever you go to bed; recite Ayat AlKursi- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa AlHaiy AlQaiyum till you finish the whole verse. If you do so ; Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come near you till morning. So; I released him. In the morning; Allah Apostle asked; What did your prisoner do yesterday? I replied; He claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allah will benefit me; so I let him go. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked; What are they? I replied; He said to me; Whenever you go to bed; recite Ayat AlKursi from the beginning to the end -- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-lHaiy AlQaiyum--. He further said to me; If you do so ; Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you; and no satan will come near you till morning. Abu Huraira or another sub-narrator added that they the companions were very keen to do good deeds. The Prophet ﷺ said; He really spoke the truth; although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to; these three nights; O Abu Huraira? Abu Huraira said; No. He said; It was Satan. -0.15 true 2018-11-14T15:24:39Z 2458437.1421181 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sahih AlBukhari]] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sahih Muslim]] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan AlNasai]] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan Abu Dawoud]] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan AlTermithi]] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Muwata Malik]] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983 0 [2,"smw-datavalue-wikipage-property-invalid-title","Has Quran Surat","Category:"] SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4983
