Habib Ali al-Jifri transmits the Hadith of Love – continually transmitted with love back to the Prophet – RIS Canada 2011
At the wonderful Reviving the Islamic Spirit (Canada 2011) conference, Habib Ali al-Jifri transmitted the hadith of love. This is a hadith transmitted contiguously with each narrator telling the one they’re narrating it to the same advice that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to his companion, Mu`adh ibn Jabal:
Mu’adh (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Mu`adh, by Allah I love you. I counsel you not to leave saying after each prayer: ‘Allahumma a’inni ‘ala dhikrika wa shukrika, wa husni ‘ibadatik’ (O Allah, assist me in remembering You; in being thankful to You; and in worshipping You with excellence).” [Abu Dawud and Nasa’i]
وعن معاذ رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، أخذ بيده وقال: “يا معاذ، والله إني لأحبك، ثم أوصيك يا معاذ لا تدعن في دبر كل صلاة تقول: اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك، وحسن عبادتك”. حديث صحيح، ((رواه أبو داود والنسائي
