Narrated 'Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, used to use this supplication:
'O Allah, praise
is Yours in quantity as great as the heavens and in quantity as great as
the earth and in quantity as great as You wish from anything else. O Allah,
purify me with ice, snow and cold water. O Allah, purify me from wrong
actions and clean me as the white garment is cleansed of dirt.'"
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "One of the supplications of the Messenger
of Allah was, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the disappearance of
Your blessing and from the loss of good health and Your sudden vengeance
and all of Your anger.'"
'A'isha said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, saw a cloud rising from the horizon, he would leave
what he was doing, even if it was the prayer, and face towards it. If Allah
dispersed it, he praised Allah, and if it rained, he said, 'O Allah, make
it a useful fall!'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ خَبَّابًا، وَقَدِ اكْتَوَى سَبْعًا، وَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَانَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِالْمَوْتِ لَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ.
Isma'il ibn Qays said, "I came to Khabbab when he had been cauterised
seven times. He said, 'If it had not been that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had forbidden us to pray for death,
I would have done so.'"
Abu Musa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, used to make this supplication, "O Allah, forgive my errors,
my ignorance and my excess in all my affairs, and what You know better
than me of these things. O Allah, forgive all my errors, what I do intentionally
or out of my ignorance or in jest and in all that I do. O Allah, forgive
me my past and future wrong actions, what I conceal of them and what I
divulge. You are the One who puts things ahead and the One who delays them.
You have power over all things."
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari used to use this supplication, "O Allah, forgive
my errors, my ignorance and my extravagance in my affairs and what You
know better than I do. O Allah, forgive me what I do both in jest and seriousness,
my errors and what I do intentionally and all that I do."
Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, took my hand and then said, "Mu'adh!' 'At your service!' I said.
He said, 'I love you.' I replied, 'And, by Allah, I love you.' He asked,
'Shall I teach you some words to say at the end of your prayer?' 'Yes,'
I replied. H:
"O Allah, help me to remember You and thank You
and help me to the best manner of worshipping You."'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَخَلِيفَةُ قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْكَلِمَةِ؟ فَسَكَتَ، وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ هَجَمَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى شَيْءٍ كَرِهَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ هُوَ؟ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ إِلاَّ صَوَابًا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا، أَرْجُو بِهَا الْخَيْرَ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، رَأَيْتُ ثَلاَثَةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari said, "A man said in the presence of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Praise belongs to Allah with
blessed and abundant praise.; The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'Who said that?' The man was silent, thinking that it
was a reprimand from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
for something he disliked. He asked again, 'Who was it? He said nothing
incorrect.' The man said, 'I did, and I hope for good by it.' He said,
'By the One in whose hand my soul is, I saw thirteen angels racing one
another to see which of them would take it to Allah Almighty.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسٌ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْخَلاَءَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبْثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ.
Anas said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, wanted to enter the lavatory, he said, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with
You from foulness and foul things.'"
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to teach us this supplication as he taught us the suras of
the Qur'an:
'I seek refuge with You from the punishment of Hellfire, and
I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave. I seek refuge
with You from the trial of the Dajjal and the I seek refuge from the trials
of life and death. I seek refuge with You from the trial of the grave.'"
Ibn 'Abbas said, "I spent the night at the house of my aunt. Maymuna.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, got up to answer
a call of nature and then washed his hands and face and slept. Then he
got up and took the water-skin and loosened its strap and then did a medium
sort of wudu' and no more but he did it adequately. Then he prayed. I stood
up and went slowly, not wanting him to see that I was observing him. I
did wudu'. Then he stood up to pray and I stood at his left. He took my
hand and brought me around to his right. His complete night prayer consisted
of twelve rak'ats. Then he lay down and went to sleep until he snored.
When he slept, he would snore. Bilal gave the adhan for the morning prayer
and he prayed without doing wudu'. One of his supplications was, 'O Allah,
put light in my heart and light in my hearing and light on my right and
light on my left and a light above me and a light behind me and a light
in front of me and a light behind him and make my light great.'"
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, prayed the night prayer, and finished his prayer,
glorifying Allah as he deserves, he said at the end of it, 'O Allah, give
me a light in my heart and give me a light in my hearing and give me a
light in my sight. Give me a light on my right and a light on my left and
give me a light in front of me and a light behind me and increase me in
light. Increase me in light, and increase me in light.'"
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas said "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, rose to pray in the middle of the night,
he would say, 'O Allah, Yours is the praise. You are the light of the heavens
and the earth and whoever is in them. Yours is the praise. You are the
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. You are the Truth
and Your promise is true and the meeting with You is true. The Garden is
true and the Fire is true and the Hour is true. O Allah, I have surrendered
to You and I have believed in You. I have trusted in You and I repent to
You. I argue by You and I have come to You for judgement. Forgive me my
past and future wrong actions, what I conceal and what I show. You are
My God. There is no god but You."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to make this supplication:
'O Allah, I ask You for pardon and good health in this world and the Next. O Allah, I ask You for good health
in my deen and my family. Veil my faults and assuage my terror. Guard me before me, behind me, on my right and my left and above me. I seek refuge with You from unexpected destruction from beneath me.'"
Rifa'a az-Zurqi said, "In the Battle of Uhud when the idolaters
retreated, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Form straight ranks so that I can praise my Almighty Lord.' They
formed in ranks behind him. He said, 'O Allah, all praise is due to You.
O Allah, none can contract what You expand nor bring near what you put
far away. None can put far away what You bring near. None can give what
You withhold nor withhold what You give. O Allah, expand to us some of
Your blessings, mercy and favour and give us provision! O Allah, I ask
You for the abiding blessing which is neither changed nor removed. O Allah,
I ask You for blessing on the Day of Utter Poverty and security on the
Day of Fear. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what You
give us. O Allah, make us love belief and adorn our hearts with it. Make
us hate disbelief, deviance and rebellion. Place us among the rightly-guided.
O Allah, make us die Muslims and make us live as Muslims and join us to
the rightly, acting, who are neither disappointed nor afflicted. O Allah,
fight the unbelievers who bar your path and who deny Your Messengers. Place
You abasement and punishment over them. O Allah, fight the unbelievers
who were given the Book, O Lord of Truth!'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُو عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَرَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, made the following supplication during affliction:
'There is no
god but Allah, the Immense, the Forbearing. There is no god but Prophet,
the Lord of the heavens and the earth and the Lord of the Immense Throne.'"
Narrated 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Abi Bakra reported that he said to his father,
"I heard you making this supplication every morning:
'O Allah, make me
healthy in my body. O Allah, make me healthy in my hearing. O Allah, make
me healthy in my sight. There is no god but You.' You repeat it three times
in the evening and three times in the morning. And you say, 'O Allah, I seek
refuge with You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge with
You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You,' and you
repeat it three times in the evening and three times in the morning." He
replied, :Yes, my son. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say them and I like to follow his sunnah."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, made the following supplication during affliction:
'There is no
god but Allah, the Immense, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the Immense Throne, there is no god but Allah, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and the Lord of the Immense Throne.' O Allah, avert its evil."
Jabir said, "The Prophet. may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
used to teach us the istikhara in matters just as if it was a sura
of the Qur'an. He said, 'When someone is concerned about something, he
should pray two rak'ats and then say, 'O Allah, I ask You for the good
by Your knowledge and I ask You for strength by Your power and I ask You
for some of Your immense abundant favour, You have the power and I do not.
You know and I do not know. You are the Knower of the Unseen Worlds. O
Allah, if You know that this affair is good for me in my deen, my livelihood
and the end of my affair (or he said 'in the beginning of my affair') and
its conclusion, then avert it from me and avert me from it. Decree for
me the good wherever it is and then make me content." Then he should state
what he needs.'"
