Supplication

Abu Hurayra said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, would say in the morning, 'We have reached the morning and and all praise belongs to Allah who has no partner. There is no
god but Allah and to Him is the gathering.' In the evening he would say,
'We have reached the evening and the kingdom belongs to Allah and all praise
belongs to Allah who has no partner. There is no god but Allah and to Him
is the return."

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The noble son of the noble son of the noble
son of the noble son was Yusuf son of Ya'qub son of Ishaq son of Ibrahim,
the Khalil (close friend) of the Merciful, the blessed and Exalted." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If
I had remained in prison for as long as Yusuf remained in prison and then
the man with the invitation had come to me, I would have accepted it. When
the messenger came to him, he said, 'Go back to your master and enquire
of him what happened about the women who cut their hands.' (12:50)
Allah showed mercy to Lut when he sought refuge in a strong pillar when
he said to his people, 'If only I had the strength to combat you or
could seek refuge in a some powerful support!' (11:80) Allah did not
send any Prophet after him but that he was one of the wealthy of his people."

'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Yazid said, "Ar-Rabi' used to go to 'Alqama
every Friday. When I was not there, they would send for me. Once he came
when I was not there. 'Alqama met me and told me, 'Did you not see what
ar-Rabi' brought? He said, "Do you not see how frequently people make supplication
and how rarely they are answered? That is because Allah Almighty only accepts
the sincere supplication."' I asked, 'Didn't 'Abdullah say that?' He asked,
'What did he say?' I said that 'Abdullah said, 'Allah does not listen to
someone who wants other people to hear not someone who shows off nor who
plays. He only listens to the one who makes a supplication firmly from
his heart.' He said, 'Did he mention 'Alqama?' 'Yes' was the answer."

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "When one of you makes a supplication, he
should not say, 'If you wish.' He should be firm in asking and he should
have great hope. Allah does not think that anything that He gives is too
great.'"

Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When one of you makes a supplication, he should
be firm in the supplication and not say, 'O Allah, if you like, give to
me.' Allah cannot be forced against His will."

Abu Nu'aym, who is Wahb, said, "I saw Ibn 'Umar and Ibn az-Zubayr
making supplication, cupping their palms in front of their faces."

'A'isha say that she saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, making supplication with his hands raised, saying, 'I am a man,
so do not punish me. If I harm any man of the believers or revile him,
do not punish me for that.'"

Abu Hurayra said, "At-Tufayl ibn 'Amr ad-Dawsi came to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger
of Allah, Daws have rebelled and rejected, so ask Allah to curse them.'
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, faced
the qibla and raised his hands and the people thought that he was going
to curse them. He said, 'O Allah, guide Daws and lead them.'"

Anas said, "No rain fell for a year and so one of the Muslims went
to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on Jumu'a (Friday).
He said, 'Messenger of Allah, there has been no rain and the ground is
dry and people's wealth has been destroyed.' He raised his hand when there
was not a cloud to be seen in the sky. He stretched out his arms until
I could see the whiteness of his armpits and asked Allah for rain. As soon
as we finished the prayer, (the rain was such that) the youth whose house
was near was afraid to return to his family. It last past Friday, The following
Friday, they said, 'Messenger of Allah, the houses have fallen down and
the paths are blocked.' He smiled and observed how quickly the son of Adam
becomes discontented. He said while making a gesture with his hand, 'O
Allah, around us and not on us.' And the rain cleared away from Madina."

'Ikrima heard 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, say that
she saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, raise his
hands in supplication, saying, 'O Allah, I am only a man, so do not punish
me. If I harm or revile a Muslim man, do not punish me for it!'"

Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that at-Tufayl ibn 'Amr asked the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Do you want a fortress
and a citadel? The fortress of Daws." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, refused it because of what Allah had stored
up for the Ansar. At-Tufayl made hijra and a man of his people made hijra
with him. The man fell ill and was in torment (or words to that effect)
and he crawled over to a quiver, took out an arrow, sliced his veins and
died. At-Tufayl saw him a dream and asked him, "What has been done to you?"
He replied, "I was forgiven because of my hijra to the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace." He asked, "What happened to your hands?"
He replied, "It was said, 'We will not put right in you that part of your
hands which you destroyed.'" He said that at-Tufayl related that tot he
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the Prophet said,
"O Allah, forgive his hands!" and he raised his hands when he said it.

Anas ibn Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, used to seek refuge with Allah, saying, 'O Allah,
I seek refuge with you from laziness. I seek refuge with You from cowardice.
I seek refuge with you from senility. I seek refuge with You from miserliness.'"

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said that Allah Almighty said, "I am according
to My slave's opinion of Me, and I am with him when He calls on Me.'"

Shaddad ibn Aws reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The best way of asking forgiveness is 'O Allah,
You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your
slave. I follow Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I acknowledge
Your blessing and I confess to my wrong actions, so forgive me. Only You
can forgive wrong actions. I seek refuge with You from the evil of what
I have done.' If he says it in the evening and then dies, he will enter
the Garden - or he said that he will be one of the people of the Garden.
If he says it in the morning and dies that day - it is the same."

Ibn 'Umar said, "We used to say this a hundred times in the assembly
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'O Lord, forgive
me and turn back to me (forgive me). You are the Ever-Turning back (to his slaves), the Merciful.'"

'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, prayed the Duha prayer and then said, 'O Lord, forgive
me and turn to me. You are the Ever-Turning back (to his slaves), the Merciful' a hundred times."

Similar to hadith 617 but with a slightly different wording.

'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, 'Turn in repentance to Allah. I turn to Him
a hundred times every day."

'Glory be to Allah';
'Praise be to Allah'; and 'There is no god but Allah' a hundred times."

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The swiftest supplication to be answered is
the supplication of someone for another person who is not present."
