Narrated Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "The words which Allah loves most are:
'Glory be to Allah
who has no partner. His is the Kingdom and praise is His and He has power
over all things. There is no power nor strength except by Allah. Glory be
to Allah and by His praise."
A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the best supplication?" He answered,
"Asking Allah for forgiveness and well-being in this world and the Next
world." Then he came to him the following day and asked, "Prophet of Allah,
what is the best supplication?" He answered, "Asking Allah for forgiveness
and well-being in this world and the Next world. When you are given well-being
in this world and the Next, then you have achieved success."
Narrated Umm Kulthum, the daughter of Abu Bakr, reported that 'A'isha said,
"The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to me while
I was praying when he needed something. I was taking a long time and he
said, ''A'isha, you must make the comprehensive supplication.' When I finished,
I asked, :
"O Allah, I ask You for all good, both sooner and later,
what I know of it and what I do not know. I seek refuge with You from all
evil, both sooner and later, what I know of it and what I do not know.
I ask You for the Garden an d whatever words or actions bring one near
to it. I seek refuge with You from the Fire and whatever words or actions
bring one near to it. I ask You by what Muhammad asked You and I seek refuge
from You by what Muhammad sought refuge from and whatever fate You have
decreed for me, make its end right guidance."'"
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَنْ هَلَّلَ مِئَةً، وَسَبَّحَ مِئَةً، وَكَبَّرَ مِئَةً، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ عَشْرِ رِقَابٍ يُعْتِقُهَا، وَسَبْعِ بَدَنَاتٍ يَنْحَرُهَا.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If
someone says, 'There is no god but Allah' one hundred times, 'Glory be
to Allah' one hundred times' and 'Allah is greater' one hundred times,
that is better than freeing ten slaves and slaughtering seven camels."
