عَنِ العَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُهُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. قَالَ: «سَلِ اللَّهَ العَافِيَةَ»، فَمَكَثْتُ أَيَّامًا ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُهُ اللَّهَ. فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا عَبَّاسُ، يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللهِ، سَلِ اللَّهَ العَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ».
Al-‘Abbās ibn ‘Abdul-Muṭṭalib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me something to ask Allah Almighty for." He said: "Ask Allah for safety/well-being." Some days later I returned and asked again. He said: "O ‘Abbās, O uncle of the Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for safety/well-being in this life and the Hereafter."
