The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Allah will hold the whole earth and fold the heaven
with His right hand and say, 'I am the King: where are the kings of the earth?" '
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "I seek refuge (with YOU) by Your 'Izzat, None has the right to be
worshipped but You Who does not die while the Jinns and the human beings die."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(The people will be thrown into Hell ( Fire) and it will keep on saying, 'Is there any
more?' till the Lord of the worlds puts His Foot over it, whereupon its different sides will come close
to each other, and it will say, 'Qad! Qad! (enough! enough!) By Your 'Izzat (Honor and Power) and
YOUR KARAM (Generosity)!' Paradise will remain spacious enough to accommodate more people
until Allah will create some more people and let them dwell in the superfluous space of Paradise. "
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah at night, saying, "O Allah: All the
Praises are for You: You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth.
All the Praises are for You; You are the Maintainer of the Heaven and
the Earth and whatever is in them. All the Praises are for You; You
are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. Your Word is the Truth,
and Your Promise is the Truth, and the Meeting with You is the Truth,
and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the Truth, and the
Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You, and I believe
in You and I depend upon You, and I repent to You and with You (Your
evidences) I stand against my opponents, and to you I leave the
judgment (for those who refuse my message). O Allah! Forgive me my
sins that I did in the past or will do in the future, and also the
sins I did in secret or in public. You are my only God (Whom I
worship) and there is no other God for me (i.e. I worship none but
You)."
Narrated Sufyan:
(regarding the above narration) that the Prophet (ﷺ) added, "You are the
Truth, and Your Word is the Truth."
We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say,
"Allahu Akbar." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Don't trouble yourselves too much! You are not calling a deaf or
an absent person, but you are calling One Who Hears, Sees, and is very near." Then he came to me
while I was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala quwwatta illa billah (There is neither might nor power
but with Allah)." He said, to me, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala quwwata illa billah
(There is neither might nor power but with Allah), for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or said,
"Shall I tell you of it?"

Chapter 9: “And Allah is Ever All-Hearer, All-Seer.” - كتاب التوحيد
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي صَلاَتِي. قَالَ
" قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ مَغْفِرَةً، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ".
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said to the Prophet (ﷺ) "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Teach me an invocation with which I
may invoke Allah in my prayers." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Say: O Allah! I have wronged my soul very
much (oppressed myself), and none forgives the sins but You; so please bestow Your Forgiveness
upon me. No doubt, You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
As-Salami: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to teach his companions to perform the prayer of Istikhara for each
and every matter just as he used to teach them the Suras from the Qur'an He used to say, "If anyone of
you intends to do some thing, he should offer a two rak`at prayer other than the compulsory prayers,
and after finishing it, he should say: O Allah! I consult You, for You have all knowledge, and appeal
to You to support me with Your Power and ask for Your Bounty, for You are able to do things while I
am not, and You know while I do not; and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah If You know It
this matter (name your matter) is good for me both at present and in the future, (or in my religion), in
my this life and in the Hereafter, then fulfill it for me and make it easy for me, and then bestow Your
Blessings on me in that matter. O Allah! If You know that this matter is not good for me in my
religion, in my this life and in my coming Hereafter (or at present or in the future), then divert me
from it and choose for me what is good wherever it may be, and make me be pleased with it." (See

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When anyone of you goes to bed, he should dust it off thrice with the edge of his
garment, and say: Bismika Rabbi Wada`tu janbi, wa bika arfa'hu. In amsakta nafsi faghfir laha, wa in

When the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed, he used to say, "Allahumma bismika ahya wa amut." And when he woke up in the mornings he used to say, "Al-hamdu li l-lahi al-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilaihi-nnushur."
When the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed at night, he used to say: "Bismika namutu wa nahya." And when he got

" لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَهْلَهُ فَقَالَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ، وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا. فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ يُقَدَّرْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ فِي ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَضُرُّهُ شَيْطَانٌ أَبَدًا ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual relation (sleep) with his wife,
says: Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna ashShaitan, wa Jannib ash-Shaitana ma razaqtana, Satan would
never harm that child, should it be ordained that they will have one. (Because of that sleep).
I asked the Prophet, "I send off (for a game) my trained hunting dogs; (what is your verdict
concerning the game they hunt?" He said, "If you send off your trained hunting dogs and mention the
Name of Allah, then, if they catch some game, eat (thereof). And if you hit the game with a mi'rad (a
hunting tool) and it wounds it, you can eat (it).
The people said to the Prophet (ﷺ) , "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Here are people who have recently embraced
Islam and they bring meat, and we do not know whether they had mentioned Allah's Name while
slaughtering the animals or not." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should mention Allah's Name and eat."

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ ضَحَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِكَبْشَيْنِ، يُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered two rams as sacrifice and mentioned Allah's Name and said, "Allahu-Akbar"
while slaughtering).
That he witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ) on the Day of Nahr. The Prophet (ﷺ) offered prayer and then delivered a
sermon saying, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before offering prayer, should slaughter another
animal in place of the first; and whoever has not yet slaughtered any, should slaughter a sacrifice and
mention Allah's Name while doing so."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent ten persons to bring the enemy's secrets and Khubaib Al-Ansari was one of them.
'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyad told me that the daughter of Al-Harith told him that when they gathered (to kill
Khubaib Al Ansari) he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region, and when they had taken him
outside the sanctuary of Mecca in order to kill him, he said in verse, "I don't care if I am killed as a
Muslim, on any side (of my body) I may be killed in Allah's Cause; for that is for the sake of Allah's
very Self; and if He will, He will bestow His Blessings upon the torn pieces of my body." Then Ibn
Al-Harith killed him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) informed his companions of the death of those (ten men) on the
very day they were killed.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is none having a greater sense of Ghira than Allah, and for that reason He
has forbidden shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) And there is none who likes to
be praised more than Allah does." (See Hadith No. 147, Vol. 7)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he
thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I
too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a
group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and
if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he
comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "
