A Short But Powerful Dua by Raintaker(m): 9:07pm On Jul 29, 2017
ALLAHUMMA INNI AS'ALUKA AL'AFIYAH. * ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻲ ﺃَﺳْﺄَﻟُﻚَ ﺍﻟْﻌَﺎﻓِﻴَﺔَ
Do you know?
Al-Abbas (R.A.), the Uncle of The Prophet Muhammed ﷺ , came to the Prophet Muhammed ﷺ and said:
“Ya Rasulullah, teach me a Dua.”
The Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said:
“O my Uncle, say:
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻲ ﺃَﺳْﺄَﻟُﻚَ ﺍﻟْﻌَﺎﻓِﻴَﺔَ
"ALLAHUMMA INNI AS' ALUKA AL'AFIYAH"
Meaning: "O Allah, I ask you for Afiyah."
Now what is Afiyah?
Afiyah means:
To be saved from any afflictions, you are in Afiyah.
To be healthy, you are in Afiyah.
To have enough money, you are in Afiyah.
To live, you are in Afiyah.
To have your children protected, you are in Afiyah.
And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in Afiyah.
So basically, Afiyah means:
“O Allah, protect me from any Pains and Sufferings.”
This includes both Dunya and Akhirah.
Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):
“Ya Rasulullah ﷺ, this Dua seems a little short. I want something big.”
The Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said:
“My Dear Uncle, ask Allah for Afiyah for Wallahi, you cannot be given anything better than Afiyah.”
It is a simple Dua, Sincerely mean what you say while praying.
“O Allah, I ask You to be saved from any Distress, Grief, Hardship, Harm, and don't test me, etc.”
All of above and much more is included in:
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻲ ﺃَﺳْﺄَﻟُﻚَ ﺍﻟْﻌَﺎﻓِﻴَﺔَ
"ALLAHUMMA INNI AS' ALUKA AL'AFIYAH"
(Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi).

What Yoruba coined Alafiyah. And they mean the same. What a coincidence. Likewise, Bali as Sarah of nabi ibrahim (as) called her husband. Yoruba women called their husband bale.

God Is Most Gracious, Most Merciful indeed

I think those words were borrowed from the Hausa language, d Hausa language has a closer relationship with the Arabic Language.
The Yorubas later borrowed d words from the Hausa through their trade relationships.
In short Ayalo ede.

No!!!
You need to do extra research to discover the true connection btw Arab and Yoruba. But here is a tip from an iceberg; add alphabet "Yau" to arab and pronounce, giving "bau" upper diacritical mark-Fatiha.
This is a hidden truth concerning Yoruba descent if you actually get the message, it is not a coincidence at all.

I pulled his leg and he's falling. Raintaker obviously doesn't share his religious view.

Ask him what is sufism - he doesn't know. He will only talk non sense undecided

Sufis don't quote hadith? Only if you knew how knowledgeable some of them are.
Back to your question, I am a Muslim first and fore most, If being a Sufi means I seek for ways to seek the pleasures of Almighty Allah , then I am a Sufi.
If being a Sufi means I love the prophet(S.A.W) more than anything/ anyone else, then I am a Sufi.

You actually didn't know the Hausa were the first to call us Yorubas(Ya ruba, later became Yoruba).
Each individual towns/tribes were known by their peculiar names then(Oyo, Ijesha e.t.c)

I feel like hugging u.. now, do u believe that islam is complete even before the death of rasul? suratul maidah verse 3. . . do u believe that anything rasul didnt practise or say as a form of worship is totally unacceptable? do u believe nothing must be add or remove from islamic rulings since ALLAH said islam is complete in suratul maidah verse 3?

You want to learn by calling them kufar?. Learn indeed.


Since you consider yourself "student of knowledge", then, it shouldn't be far fetched for you to grasp traits of sufism in the Quran and hadith. It is there but you have eyes you can not see. You have ears but can not hear. You are just like cattle. undecided
Re: A Short But Powerful Dua by Empiree: 2:34pm On Jul 31, 2017
AhluSunnah:
My mind clear coz for a sufi to quote hadith, he must believe in it.. m0st sufi rejects hadith..
so now, you have shifted from all sufis reject hadith, quran to some? . You are deluded. Were they not practicing Islam (Quran and hadith) before your were born? .

You want to correct them in 21st century?

Nice one OP.

From this hadith, one can easily infer to the saying that, HEALTH is WEALTH.
