Hadith of Aqil ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (١)، ١٥٧٤٠ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجَ عَقِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا، فَقُلْنَا: بِالرَّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ، فَقَالَ: مَهْ لَا تَقُولُوا ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: " قُولُوا: بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ، وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ، وَبَارَكَ لَكَ فِيهَا " (٢)،

Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil narrates that Aqil bin Abi Talib got married, and after the first night when he came out, we said to him, "May there be harmony between you both, and may this marriage be a means of offspring." He replied, "Stop, do not say this, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade us from saying this and said, 'Say like this: May Allah bless it for you, grant you blessings, and shower abundant blessings upon you in this marriage.'"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ عَقِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمٍ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا: بِالرَّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَقُولُوا ذَاكُمْ (٣) ، قَالُوا: فَمَا نَقُولُ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ؟ قَالَ: قُولُوا: " بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكُمْ، وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكُمْ "، إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ (٤) كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ (٥)، ،

Hasan says that Aqil bin Abi Talib married a woman from Banu Jashm. People came to congratulate him and began to say, "There will be harmony between you both and this marriage will be a means of children." He said: "Stop, do not say this." The people asked, "O Abu Yazid, then what should we say?" He said: "Say like this: May Allah bless it for you, grant you blessings, and shower abundant blessings upon you in this marriage. We were commanded to say only this."
