٢٥ - علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن محبوب، عن محمد بن يحيى الخثعمي عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: إن أبا ذر أتى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) ومعه جبرئيل (عليه السلام) في صورة دحية الكلبي وقد استخلاه رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فلما رآهما انصرف عنهما ولم يقطع كلامهما فقال جبرئيل (عليه السلام): يا محمد هذا أبو ذر قد مر بنا ولم يسلم علينا أما لو سلم لرددنا عليه، يا محمد إن له دعاء يدعو به، معروفا عند أهل السماء فسله عنه إذا عرجت إلى السماء، فلما ارتفع جبرئيل جاء أبو ذر إلى النبي فقال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): ما منعك يا أبا ذر أن تكون سلمت علينا حين مررت بنا؟ فقال: ظننت يا رسول الله أن الذي [كان] معك دحية الكلبي قد استخليته لبعض شأنك، فقال: ذاك جبرئيل (عليه السلام) يا أبا ذر وقد قال: أما لو سلم علينا لرددنا عليه فلما علم أبو ذر أنه كان جبرئيل (عليه السلام) دخله من الندامة حيث لم يسلم عليه ما شاء الله فقال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): ما هذا الدعاء الذي تدعو به؟ فقد أخبرني جبرئيل (عليه السلام) أن لك دعاء تدعو به، معروفا في السماء، فقال: نعم يا رسول الله أقول: " اللهم إني أسألك الامن والايمان بك والتصديق بنبيك والعافية من جميع البلاء و الشكر على العافية والغنى عن شرار الناس ".
25. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Khath’ami from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Once abu Dharr came to the Messenger of Allah while Jibril (Gabriel) was, in the form of Dihyah al-Kalbi (one of the companions of the Holy Prophet), in a private meeting with the Messenger of Allah. When he saw them he turned away from them and did not want to disrupt their conversation. Jibril (Gabriel) said, ‘O Muhammad this was abu Dharr passed by us and did not offer us the greeting of peace, had he done so we would have responded to his greeting. O Muhammad, he has a supplication with which he prays, and is well-known among the inhabitants of the heaven. When I will ascend ask him about it.’ “When Jibril (Gabriel) left, abu Dharr came to the Holy Prophet and the Messenger of Allah said to him, ‘O abu Dharr what stopped you from offering us the greeting of peace when you passed by?’ He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah I thought the person with you was Dihyah al-Kalbi in a private meeting for something of your affairs.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘That was Jibril (Gabriel), O abu Dharr and he said, “Had he (abu Dharr) offered us the greeting of peace we would have responded to his greeting.’’ When abu Dharr learned that it was Jibril (Gabriel) he, Allah knows well, how deeply he regretted his not offering the greeting. The Messenger of Allah asked, ‘What is the supplication with which you pray? Jibril (Gabriel) has informed me that you have a prayer whereby you implore and it is well-known in heaven’ He said, ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I say, “O Lord, I plead before You for peace and belief in You, affirmation of Your prophet, well-being and safety from all misfortunes, to be thankful for the well-being and safety and free of want from the people.’”
