Sunan Abi Dawud 879 (Book 2, Hadith 489) #21170
Seeking Refuge in Allah's Mercy

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was seeking refuge in Allah's mercy and good pleasure from His anger and punishment.

'A’ishah said; one night I missed the Messenger of Allah and when I sought him on the spot of prayer I found him in prostration with his feet raised, and he was saying: "(O Allah), I seek refuge in Your good pleasure from Your anger, and in Your Mercy from Your Punishment, and I seek refuge from You in You; I am not able to praise You (the way that You deserve to be praised), for You are as You have praised Yourself".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمَسْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ سَاجِدٌ وَقَدَمَاهُ مَنْصُوبَتَانِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لاَ أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of prayer and seeking refuge in Allah’s mercy. It is narrated by Aisha that one night she missed the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). When she looked for him at his usual spot for prayer, she found him prostrating with his feet raised up. He was saying a supplication to seek refuge from Allah’s anger and punishment in His mercy and good pleasure. He also acknowledged that he could not praise Him as much as He deserves to be praised because only Allah knows how great He is. This hadith teaches us the importance of praying to seek refuge from our sins and mistakes so we can be forgiven by God’s grace. It also reminds us that no matter how much we try to praise Him it will never be enough because only God knows how great He truly is.
