Volume 8, Book 75, Number 317e:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"For every prophet there is one (special invocation (that will not be
rejected) with which he appeals (to Allah), and I want to keep such an
invocation for interceding for my followers in the Hereafter."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 317o:
Narrated Anas:
that the Prophet said,
"For every prophet there is an invocation that surely will be
responded by Allah," (or said), "For every prophet there was an
invocation with which he appealed to Allah, and his invocation was
accepted (in his lifetime), but I kept my (this special) invocation to
intercede for my followers on the Day of Resurrection."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 318:
Narrated Shaddad bin Aus:
The Prophet said "The
most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma
anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Anta Khalaqtani wa ana abduka, wa ana
'ala ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, A'udhu bika min Sharri ma sana'tu,
abu'u Laka bini'matika 'alaiya, wa Abu Laka bidhanbi faghfirli innahu
la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." The Prophet added. "If somebody
recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same
day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if
somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before
the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 320:
Narrated Al-Harith bin
Suwaid:
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud
related to us two narrations: One from the Prophet and the other from
himself, saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under
a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked
person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just
drives them away like this." Abu Shihab (the sub-narrator) moved his
hand over his nose in illustration. (Ibn Mas'ud added): Allah's
Apostle said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave
than a man who encamps at a place where his life is jeopardized, but
he has his riding beast carrying his food and water. He then rests his
head and sleeps for a short while and wakes to find his riding beast
gone. (He starts looking for it) and suffers from severe heat and
thirst or what Allah wished (him to suffer from). He then says, 'I
will go back to my place.' He returns and sleeps again, and then
(getting up), he raises his head to find his riding beast standing
beside him."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 321:

Narrated Aisha:
The Prophet used to pray
eleven Rakat in the late part of the night, and when dawn appeared, he

Muadhdhin came to inform him (that the morning prayer was due).
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 323:
Narrated Al-Bara bin 'Azib:
Allah's Apostle said to
me, "When you want to go to bed, perform ablution as you do for
prayer, then lie down on your right side and say: 'Allahumma aslamtu
wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu Amri ilaika wa aljatu zahri ilaika,
raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, lamalja'a wa la manna mink a ill a
ilaika. Amantu bikitabi kalladhi anzalta wa bi nabiyyikal-ladhi
arsalta'. If you should die then (after reciting this) you will die on
the religion of Islam (i.e., as a Muslim); so let these words be the
last you say (before going to bed)" While I was memorizing it, I said,
"Wa birasiulikal-ladhi arsalta (in Your Apostle whom You have sent).'
The Prophet said, "No, but say: Wa binabiyyi-kalladhi arsalta (in Your
Prophet whom You have sent)."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 324:
Narrated Hudhaifa:

an-nushur."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 327:
Narrated Al-Bara' bin
'Azib:
When Allah's Apostle went
to bed, he used to sleep on his right side and then say, "All-ahumma
aslamtu nafsi ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu Amri
ilaika, wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La
Malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabika al-ladhi
anzalta wa nabiyyika al-ladhi arsalta! Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever
recites these words (before going to bed) and dies the same night, he
will die on the Islamic religion (as a Muslim)."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 328:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
One night I slept at the
house of Maimuna. The Prophet woke up, answered the call of nature,
washed his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night),
went to a water skin, opened the mouth thereof and performed ablution
not using much water, yet he washed al I the parts properly and then
offered the prayer. I got up and straightened my back in order that
the Prophet might not feel that I was watching him, and then I
performed the ablution, and when he got up to offer the prayer, stood
on his left. He caught hold of my ear and brought me over to his right
side. He offered thirteen Rak'at in all and then lay down and slept
till he started blowing out his breath as he used to do when he slept.
In the meantime Bilal informed the Prophet of the approaching time for
the (Fajr) prayer, and the Prophet offered the Fajr (Morning) prayer
without performing new ablution. He used to say in his invocation,
Allaihumma ij'al fi qalbi nuran wa fi basari nuran, wa fi sam'i nuran,
wa'an yamini nuran, wa'an yasari nuran, wa fawqi nuran, wa tahti
nuran, wa amami nuran, wa khalfi nuran, waj'al li nuran." Kuraib (a
sub narrator) said, "I have forgotten seven other words, (which the
Prophet mentioned in this invocation). I met a man from the offspring
of Al-'Abbas and he narrated those seven things to me, mentioning,
'(Let there be light in) my nerves, my flesh, my blood, my hair and my
body,' and he also mentioned two other things."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 329:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
When the Prophet got up
at night to offer the night prayer, he used to say: "Allahumma
laka-l-hamdu; Anta nuras-samawati wal ardi wa man fihinna. Wa

lakaI-hamdu; Anta-l-,haqqun, wa wa'daka haqqun, wa qauluka haqqun, wa

Alaika tawakkaltu, wa bika amantu, wa ilaika anabtu, wa bika Khasamtu,
wa ilaika hakamtu, faghfirli ma qaddamtu wa ma akh-khartu, wa ma
asrartu, wa ma a'lantu. Anta al-muqaddimu, wa anta al-mu-'akhkhiru. La
ilaha il-la anta (or La ilaha ghairuka)"
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 330:
Narrated 'Ali:
Fatima complained about
the blisters on her hand because of using a mill-stone. She went to
ask the Prophet for servant, but she did not find him (at home) and
had to inform 'Aisha of her need. When he came, 'Aisha informed him
about it. Ali added: The Prophet came to us when we had gone to our
beds. When I was going to get up, he said, "'Stay in your places," and
sat between us, till I felt the coolness of the feet on my chest. The
Prophet then said, "Shall I not tell you of a thing which is better
for you than a servant? When you (both) go to your beds, say 'Allahu
Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan Allah' thirty-three times,
'Alhamdu 'illah' thirty-three times, for that is better for you than a
servant." Ibn Sirin said, "Subhan Allah' (is to be said for)
thirty-four times."

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 332:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "When
anyone of you go to bed, he should shake out his bed with the inside
of his waist sheet, for he does not know what has come on to it after
him, and then he should say: 'Bismika Rabbi wada'tu Janbi wa bika
arfa'uhu, In amsakta nafsi farhamha wa in arsaltaha fahfazha bima
tahfazu bihi ibadakas-salihin."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 333:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"When it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Blessed, the
Superior, descends every night to the heaven of the world and says,
'Is there anyone who invokes Me (demand anything from Me), that I may
respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me for something
that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness
that I may forgive him?' "
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 334:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

to the lavatory, he used to say: "Allahumma Inni a'udhu bika
mina-lkhubthi Wal khaba'ith."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 335:
Narrated Shaddad bin
'Aus:
The Prophet said, "The
most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma
anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala
'ahdika wa Wa'dika mastata'tu abu'u Laka bi ni 'matika wa abu'u Laka
bidhanbi; faghfirli fa'innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba ill a ant a.
A'uidhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu.' If somebody recites this
invocation during the night, and if he should die then, he will go to
Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he
recites it in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he
will have the same fate."

intended to go to bed, he would recite: "Bismika Allahumma amutu wa

from his sleep, he would say: "Al-hamdu lil-lahil-ladhi ahyana ba'da
ma amatana; wa ilaihi an-nushur (All the Praises are for Allah Who has
made us alive after He made us die (sleep) and unto Him is the
Resurrection). "

on his bed, he used to say: "Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya," and

'Amr:

(Allah) in my prayer." The Prophet said, "Say: Allahumma inni zalamtu

maghfiratan min indika war-hamni, innaka antalGhafur-Rahim."

regards invocation.
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 340:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
We used to say in the
prayer: 'AsSalam be on Allah, As-Salam be on so-and so.' So one day
the Prophet said to us, "Allah Himself is As-Salam; when anyone of you
sits during his prayer, he should say: 'At-tah, iyyatu-lillahi,' up to
'As-Salihin,' (All the compliments are for Allah ...righteous people)
for when he recites this, then he says his Salam to all the righteous
people present in the heavens and on the earth. Then he should say, 'I
testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and
that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle,' and then he can select
whatever he likes to celebrate (Allah's) Praises."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 341:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people said, "O
Allah's Apostle! The rich people have got the highest degrees of
prestige and the permanent pleasures (in this life and the life to
come in the Hereafter)." He said, "How is that?" They said, "The rich
pray as we pray, and strive in Allah's Cause as we do, and spend from
their surplus wealth in charity, while we have no wealth (to spend
likewise)." He said, "Shall I not tell you a thing, by doing which,
you will catch up with those who are ahead of you and supersede those
who will come after you; and nobody will be able to do such a good
deed as you do except the one who does the same (deed as you do). That
deed is to recite 'Subhan Allah ten times, and 'Al-Hamdulillah ten
times, and 'AllahuAkbar' ten times after every prayer."

lahu-l-hamd, wahuwa 'ala kulli shai'n qadir. Allahumma la mani'a Lima

Al-Akwa':
We went out with the
Prophet to Khaibar. A man among the people said, "O 'Amir! Will you
please recite to us some of your poetic verses?" So 'Amir got down and
started chanting among them, saying, "By Allah! Had it not been for
Allah, we would not have been guided." 'Amir also said other poetic
verses which I do not remember. Allah's Apostle said, "Who is this
(camel) driver?" The people said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Akwa'," He said,
"May Allah bestow His Mercy on him." A man from the People said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." When
the people (Muslims) lined up, the battle started, and 'Amir was
struck with his own sword (by chance) by himself and died. In the
evening, the people made a large number of fires (for cooking meals).
Allah's Apostle said, "What is this fire? What are you making the fire
for?" They said, "For cooking the meat of donkeys." He said, "Throw
away what is in the pots and break the pots!" A man said, "O Allah's
Prophet! May we throw away what is in them and wash them?" He said,
"Never mind, you may do so." (See Hadith No. 509, Vol. 5).
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 344:

Whenever a man brought
his alms to the Prophet, the Prophet would say, "O Allah! Bestow Your

family of Abi Aufa."

me. "Will you relieve me from Dhi-al-Khalasa? " Dhi-al-Khalasa was an
idol which the people used to worship and it was called Al-Ka'ba al
Yamaniyya. I said, "O Allah's Apostle I am a man who can't sit firm on
horses." So he stroked my chest (with his hand) and said, "O Allah!
Make him firm and make him a guiding and well-guided man." So I went
out with fifty (men) from my tribe of Ahrnas. (The sub-narrator,
Sufyan, quoting Jarir, perhaps said, "I went out with a group of men
from my nation.") and came to Dhi-al-Khalasa and burnt it, and then
came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not come to
you till I left it like a camel with a skin disease." The Prophet then
invoked good upon Ahmas and their cavalry (fighters).

Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet divided
something (among the Muslims) and distributed the shares (of the
booty). A man said, "This division has not been made to please Allah."

noticed the signs of anger on his face and he then said, "May Allah
bestow His Mercy on Moses, for he was hurt with more than this, yet he
remained patient."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 349:
Narrated 'Ikrima:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Preach
to the people once a week, and if you won't, then preach them twice,
but if you want to preach more, then let it be three times (a week
only), and do not make the people fed-up with this Qur'an. If you come
to some people who are engaged in a talk, don't start interrupting
their talk by preaching, lest you should cause them to be bored. You
should rather keep quiet, and if they ask you, then preach to them at
the time when they are eager to hear what you say. And avoid the use
of rhymed prose in invocation for I noticed that Allah's Apostle and
his companions always avoided it."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 350:

till one could hardly reach one's home. It kept on raining till the
next Friday when the same man or another man got up and said (to the
Prophet), "Invoke Allah to withhold the rain from us, for we have been
drowned (with heavy rain )." The Prophet said, "O Allah! Let it rain

narration contained three items only, but I added one. I do not know
which one that was."

Narrated 'Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle was
healthy, he used to say, "No prophet dies till he is shown his place
in Paradise, and then he is given the option (to live or die)." So
when death approached him(during his illness), and while his head was
on my thigh, he became unconscious for a while, and when he recovered,
he fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, "O Allah! (Let me join) the
Highest Companions (see Qur'an 4:69)," I said, "So, he does not choose
us." Then I realized that it was the application of the statement he
used to relate to us when he was healthy. So that was his last
utterance (before he died), i.e. "O Allah! (Let me join) the Highest
Companions."

my life if death is better for me.' "

Lord, and Islam as (our) religion, and Muhammad as (our) Apostle; and
we seek refuge with Allah from the afflictions." Allah's Apostle said,
" I have never seen a day like today in its good and its evil for
Paradise and the Hell Fire were displayed in front of me, till I saw
them just beyond this wall." Qatada, when relating this Hadith, used
to mention the following Verse:--
'O you who believe! Ask
not questions about things which, If made plain to you, May cause you
trouble. (5.101)
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 374:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said to Abu
Talha, "Choose one of your boys to serve me." So Abu Talha took me (to
serve the Prophet ) by giving me a ride behind him (on his camel). So
I used to serve Allah's Apostle whenever he stayed somewhere. I used
to hear him saying, "O Allah! I seek refuge with you (Allah) from
(worries) care and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from
miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being
overpowered by other men." I kept on serving him till he returned from
(the battle of) Khaibar. He then brought Safiya, the daughter of Huyay
whom he had got (from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion
with a cloak or a garment for her. He then let her ride behind him.
When we reached a place called As-Sahba', he prepared (a special meal
called) Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and
that was the marriage banquet given on the consummation of his
marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of Uhud appeared,
whereupon he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it." When he
approached Medina, he said, "O Allah! I make the land between its
(i.e., Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary, as the prophet Abraham
made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (the people of Medina) in
their Mudd and the Sa' (units of measuring)."

Narrated 'Aisha:
Two old ladies from among
the Jewish ladies entered upon me and said' "The dead are punished in
their graves," but I thought they were telling a lie and did not
believe them in the beginning. When they went away and the Prophet
entered upon me, I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Two old ladies.." and
told him the whole story. He said, "They told the truth; the dead are
really punished, to the extent that all the animals hear (the sound
resulting from) their punishment." Since then I always saw him seeking
refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave in his prayers.

of poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
Al-Mesiah Ad-Dajjal. O Allah! Wash away my sins with the water of snow

said, 'O Allah's Apostle! My sickness has reduced me to the (bad)
state as you see, and I am a rich man, but have no heirs except one
daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?' He said, 'No.'
I said, 'Then 1/2 of it?' He said, 'Even 1/3 is too much, for, to
leave your inheritors wealthy is better than to leave them in poverty,
begging from people. And (know that) whatever you spend in Allah's
Cause, you will get reward for it, even for the morsel of food which
you put in your wife's mouth.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Will I be
left behind my companions (in Mecca)?' He said, 'If you remain behind,
whatever good deed you will do for Allah's Sake, will raise and
upgrade you to a higher position (in Allah's Sight). May be you will
live longer so that some people may benefit by you, and some e others
(pagans) may get harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the migration of my
companions and do not turn them on their heels; But (we pity) the poor
Sa'd bin Khaula (not the above mentioned Sa'd) (died in Mecca)"

than the obligatory prayer, and then say: 'Allahumma inni astakhiruka
bi'ilmika, wa astaqdiruka biqudratika, wa as'aluka min
fadlika-l-'azim, fa innaka taqdiru wala aqdiru, wa ta'lamu wala
a'lamu, wa anta'allamu-l-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna

some water and performed the ablution, and then raised his hands

kind to yourselves, for you are not calling upon a deaf or an absent
one, but You are calling an All-Hearer, and an All-Seer." Then he came
to me as I was reciting silently, "La haul a wala quwwata illa
bil-lah." He said, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Say: La haul a walaquwata
illa bil-lah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or he said,

didn't you marry a virgin girl so that you might play with her and she
with you (or, you might make her laugh and she make you laugh)?" I

(senile) geriatric old age, and seek refuge with You from the
affliction of the world and from the punishment in the Hereafter."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 400:
Narrated 'Aisha:
that Allah's Apostle was
affected by magic, so much that he used to think that he had done
something which in fact, he did not do, and he invoked his Lord (for a
remedy). Then (one day) he said, "O 'Aisha!) Do you know that Allah
has advised me as to the problem I consulted Him about?" 'Aisha said,
"O Allah's Apostle! What's that?" He said, "Two men came to me and one
of them sat at my head and the other at my feet, and one of them asked
his companion, 'What is wrong with this man?' The latter replied, 'He
is under the effect of magic.' The former asked, 'Who has worked magic
on him?' The latter replied, 'Labid bin Al-A'sam.' The former asked,
'With what did he work the magic?' The latter replied, 'With a comb
and the hair, which are stuck to the comb, and the skin of pollen of a
date-palm tree.' The former asked, 'Where is that?' The latter
replied, 'It is in Dharwan.' Dharwan was a well in the dwelling place
of the (tribe of) Bani Zuraiq. Allah's Apostle went to that well and
returned to 'Aisha, saying, 'By Allah, the water (of the well) was as
red as the infusion of Hinna, (1) and the date-palm trees look like
the heads of devils.' 'Aisha added, Allah's Apostle came to me and
informed me about the well. I asked the Prophet, 'O Allah's Apostle,
why didn't you take out the skin of pollen?' He said, 'As for me,
Allah has cured me and I hated to draw the attention of the people to
such evil (which they might learn and harm others with).' "
Narrated Hisham's father:

saying, "O Allah! Save 'Aiyash bin Abi Rabi'a; O Allah! Save Al-Walid
bin Al-Walid; O Allah! Save the weak people among the believers; O
Allah! Be hard on the Tribe of Mudar; O Allah! Inflict years of
drought upon them like the years (of drought) of the Prophet Joseph."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 403:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet sent a Sariya
(an army detachment) consisting of men called Al-Qurra', and all of
them were martyred. I had never seen the Prophet so sad over anything
as he was over them. So he said Qunut (invocation in the prayer) for
one month in the Fajr prayer, invoking for Allah's wrath upon the
tribe of 'Usaiya, and he used to say, "The people of 'Usaiya have
disobeyed Allah and His Apostle."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 404:

wal-la'na (i.e. Death and Allah's Curse be upon you)." The Prophet
said, "Be gentle and calm, O 'Aisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all
affairs." I said, "O Allah's Prophet! Didn't you hear what they said?"
He said, "Didn't you hear me answering them back by saying, 'Alaikum
(i.e., the same be upon you)?"

Talib:

the Prophet on the day (of the battle) of Al-Khandaq (the Trench). The

middle prayer till the sun had set; and that prayer was the 'Asr
prayer."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 406:

At-Tufail bin 'Amr came
to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The tribe of Daus has
disobeyed (Allah and His Apostle) and refused (to embrace Islam),

Guide the tribe Of Daus and let them come to us,"

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 409:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet)
said, "On Friday there is a particular time. If a Muslim happens to be
praying and invoking Allah for something good during that time, Allah
will surely fulfill his request." The Prophet pointed out with his
hand. We thought that he wanted to illustrate how short that time was.
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 410:
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
'Aisha said, "The Jews
came to the Prophet and said to him, "As-Samu 'Alaika (i.e., Death be
upon you)." He replied, 'The same on you.' " 'Aisha said to them,
"Death be upon you, and may Allah curse you and shower His wrath upon
you!" Allah's Apostle I said, "Be gentle and calm, O 'Aisha! Be gentle
and beware of being harsh and of saying evil things." She said,
"Didn't you hear what they said?" He said, "Didn't you hear what I
replied (to them)? have returned their statement to them, and my
invocation against them will be accepted but theirs against me will
not be accepted."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 411:

Whoever says: "La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk
wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shai'in qadir," one hundred times
will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one
hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred
sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a
shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be
able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 413:
Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun:
Whoever recites it (i.e.,
the invocation in the above Hadith (412) ten times will be as if he
manumitted one of Ishmael's descendants. Abu Aiyub narrated the same
Hadith from the Prophet saying, "(Whoever recites it ten times) will
be as if he had manumitted one of Ishmael's descendants."

(Allah), and they are, 'Subhan Allah Al-'Azim and 'Subhan Allah wa
bihamdihi.'"

Narrated Abu Musa: The
Prophet said, "The example of the one who celebrates the Praises of

one."
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 417:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah 's Apostle said,
"Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of
Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people
celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call each other, saying, "Come
to the object of your pursuit.' " He added, "Then the angels encircle
them with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after
those people celebrated the Praises of Allah, and the angels go back),
their Lord, asks them (those angels)----though He knows better than
them----'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan
Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-lillah, Allah then says 'Did they
see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.'
Allah says, How it would
have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they
would worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply,
and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.'
Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angels
reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did
they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see
it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels
say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and
would seek It with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.'
Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They
seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The
angels say, 'No By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says,
How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw
it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have
extreme fear from it.' Then Allah says, 'I make you witnesses that I
have forgiven them."' Allah's Apostle added, "One of the angels would
say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them,
but he had just come for some need.' Allah would say, 'These are those
people whose companions will not be reduced to misery.' "
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 418:
Narrated Abu Musa
Al-Ash'ari:
The Prophet started
ascending a high place or hill. A man (amongst his companions)
ascended it and shouted in a loud voice, "La ilaha illal-lahu wallahu
Akbar." (At that time) Allah's Apostle was riding his mule. Allah's
Apostle said, "You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one." and
added, "O Abu Musa (or, O 'Abdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from
the treasure of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "La haul a wala
quwwata illa billah,"
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 419:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Narrated Shaqiq:
While we were waiting for
'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud). Yazid bin Muawiya came. I said (to him), "Will
you sit down?" He said, "No, but I will go into the house (of Ibn
Mas'ud) and let your companion (Ibn Mas'ud) come out to you; and if he
should not (come out), I will come out and sit (with you)." Then
'Abdullah came out, holding the hand of Yazid, addressed us, saying,
"I know that you are assembled here, but the reason that prevents me
from coming out to you, is that Allah's Apostle used to preach to us
at intervals during the days, lest we should become bored."
