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.''

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.''

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 all 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.''

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.''

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.''

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.''

| 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).

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).

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.''

Once the people started asking Allah's Apostle questions, and they asked so many questions that he became angry and ascended the pulpit and said, ''I will answer whatever questions you may ask me today.'' I looked right and left and saw everyone covering his face with his garment and weeping. Behold ! There was a man who, on quarreling with the people, used to be called as a son of a person other than his father. He said, ''O Allah's Apostle! Who is my father?'' The Prophet replied, ''Your father is Hudhaifa.'' And then Umar got up and said, ''We accept Allah as our 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)

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).''

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.

that his father said, ''In the year of Hajjatal-Wada', the Prophet paid me a visit while I was suffering from an ailment that had brought me to the verge of death. I 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)'' Allah's Apostle lamented (or pitied) for him as he died in Mecca.

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: Aisha said, ''Allah's Apostle was bewitched, so he invoked Allah repeatedly requesting Him to cure him from that magic).'' Hisham then narrated the above narration. (See Hadith No. 658, Vol. 7)

Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?'

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?'

(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,''

Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is Witr (one) and loves the Witr' (i.e., odd numbers).

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.''
