عن أَبِي الْفَضْلِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُهُ اللّهَ تَعَالَى، قَالَ: «سَلُوا اللّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ» فَمَكَثْتُ أَيَّامًا، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَسْأَلُهُ اللّهَ تَعَالَى، قَالَ لِي: «يَا عبَّاسُ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللّهِ، سَلُوا اللّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وقَالَ: حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said, O Messenger of Allah, teach me something by which I may ask Allah the Exalted. He said: "Ask Allah for well-being (ʿafiyah)." I waited some days, then I came and said: O Messenger of Allah, teach me something by which I may ask Allah the Exalted. He said to me: "O Abbas, O uncle of the Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for well-being in this world and the Hereafter." Reported by al-Tirmidhi, who said: a hasan sahih hadith.
