Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khas’amy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Abu Zarr^ra came over to the Prophet^saww, and with him^saww was Jibraeel^as in the image of Dihyat Al Kalby (name of a man), and Rasool-Allah^saww had isolated with him^as. So when he (Abu Zarr^ra) saw them^asws, he^ra turned away from the two of them^asws, and did not cut off their^asws conversation. So Jibraeel^as said: ‘O Muhammad^saww! This is Abu Zarr^ra who has passed by us^asws and did not greet upon us^asws. But, had he^ra greeted, we^asws would have returned the greeting upon him^ra. O Muhammad^saww! For him^ra there is a supplication he^ra tends to supplicate with which is well-known among the inhabitants of the sky, therefore ask him^ra about it, when I^ra ascend to the sky’. So when Jibraeel^as ascended, Abu Zarr^ra came over to the Prophet^saww. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to him^as: ‘What prevented you^ra, O Abu Zarr^ra, from greeting upon us^asws when you^ra passed by us^asws?’ So he^ra said: ‘I^ra thought, O Rasool-Allah^saww, that who was with you^saww, Dihiyat Al-Kalby, you^saww had isolated with him for one of your^saww matters’. So he^saww said: ‘That was Jibraeel^as, O Abu Zarr^ra, and he^as said: ‘But, had he^ra greeted, we^asws would have returned the greeting upon him^ra’. So when Abu Zarr^ra came to know that it was Jibraeel^as, regret entered upon him^ra why he^ra did not greet upon him^as, for as long as Allah^azwj so Desired. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to him: ‘What is this supplication which you^ra tend to supplicate with, for Jibraeel^as informed me^saww that there is a supplication with you^ra, which you^as tend to supplicate with which is well-known in the sky?’ So he^ra said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah^saww! I^ra say, ‘O Allah^azwj! I^as ask You^azwj for the safety and the <span class="iTxt">Eman</span> in You^azwj, and the ratification with Your^azwj Prophet^saww, and the well-being from the entirety of the affliction, and the gratefulness upon the well-being, and the needlessness from the evil people’.
