The Prophet’s Prayer for Understanding

It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, placed his hand upon my shoulder or on my collarbone - Shu'bah felt uncertain - and then said: "O Allah, grant him understanding of the religion and teach him interpretation.”

Narrated by:

  • Abu Zakariya ibn Abi Ishaq
  • Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ya'qub
  • Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab
  • Ja'far ibn A'wf
  • Al-A’mash
  • Muslim ibn Subayh

It was reported that Masruq said: Abdullah ibn Mas'ud stated, "If Ibn Abbas had lived among us, he would have learned from a man among us." And he used to say: "What a great Quran interpreter Ibn Abbas is. Allah knows best the truth.”

[3] Narrated by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak (3:534) and he said, "This is a Sahih (authentic) hadith, but they did not record it" and Al-Dhahabi said, "Correct."

[4] These are two hadiths in Al-Hakim's Al-Mustadrak which he compiled in (3:537) and noted both: "This is a Sahih hadith according to Al-Bukhari and Muslim's criteria, but they did not record it."

[5] Additional content from the manuscript (H).
