Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "If anyone says, 'O Allah, bless Muhammad and the
family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Shower
blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You showered blessings
on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Show mercy to Muhammad and the family
of Muhammad as You showed mercy to Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim,'
I will testify for him on the Day of Rising and I will intercede for him."
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "If any Muslim does not have anything to
give as sadaqa, he should say in his supplication, 'O Allah, bless Muhammad,
Your slave and Your Messenger and bless the believers, both men and women,
and the Muslims, both men and women.' That will be sadaqa for him."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، وَمَالِكَ بْنَ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ يَتَبَرَّزُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَتْبَعُهُ، فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ فَاتَّبَعَهُ بِفَخَّارَةٍ أَوْ مِطْهَرَةٍ، فَوَجَدَهُ سَاجِدًا فِي مِسْرَبٍ، فَتَنَحَّى فَجَلَسَ وَرَاءَهُ، حَتَّى رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ: أَحْسَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ حِينَ وَجَدْتَنِي سَاجِدًا فَتَنَحَّيْتَ عَنِّي، إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ جَاءَنِي فَقَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا، وَرَفَعَ لَهُ عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ.
Malik ibn Aws ibn al-Hadathan said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, went out to open ground to answer a call of nature
and did not find anyone to follow him. 'Umar went out and followed him
with a clay pot or wudu' vessel. He found him prostrating in a river bed.
He fell back and sat behind him until the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, lifted his head. He said, 'You have done well, 'Umar.
When you found me prostrating, you went behind me. Jibril came to me and
said, 'If someone says the prayer on you once, Allah will pray ten times
on him and raise him ten degrees.'"
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."'"
