Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There are two expressions which are very easy for the tongue to say, but they are
very heavy in the balance and are very dear to The Beneficent (Allah), and they are, ‘Subhan Allah Al-
`Azim and ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.’”

Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The example of the one who celebrates the Praises of his Lord (Allah) in
comparison to the one who does not celebrate the Praises of his Lord, is that of a living creature
compared to a dead one.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah ‘s Apostle said, “Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah
on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call
each other, saying, “Come to the object of your pursuit.’ ” He added, “Then the angels encircle them
with their wings up to the sky of the world.” He added. “(after those people celebrated the Praises of
Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels)—-though He knows better than
them—-‘What do My slaves say?’ The angels reply, ‘They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and
Alham-du-li l-lah, Allah then says ‘Did they see Me?’ The angels reply, ‘No! By Allah, they didn’t see
You.’
Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?’ The angels reply, ‘If they saw You, they would
worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from
any resemblance to anything more often.’ Allah says (to the angels), ‘What do they ask Me for?’ The
angels reply, ‘They ask You for Paradise.’ Allah says (to the angels), ‘Did they see it?’ The angels say,
‘No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.’ Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?’ The
angels say, ‘If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek It with greater
zeal and would have greater desire for it.’ Allah says, ‘From what do they seek refuge?’ The angels
reply, ‘They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.’ Allah says, ‘Did they see it?’ The angels say, ‘No By
Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.’ Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?’ The angels
say, ‘If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from
it.’ Then Allah says, ‘I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.”‘ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) added, “One of
the angels would say, ‘There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just
come for some need.’ Allah would say, ‘These are those people whose companions will not be reduced
to misery.’ ”

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari: The Prophet (ﷺ) started ascending a high place or hill. A man (amongst his companions) ascended it and
shouted in a loud voice, “La ilaha illal-lahu wallahu Akbar.” (At that time) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was riding
his mule. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one.” and added, “O Abu
Musa (or, O `Abdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasure of Paradise?” I said, “Yes.” He
said, “La haul a wala quwwata illa billah,”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings
and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is witr (one) and loves ‘the witr’ (i.e., odd
numbers).

Narrated Shaqiq: While we were waiting for `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud). Yazid bin Muawiya came. I said (to him), “Will
you sit down?” He said, “No, but I will go into the house (of Ibn Mas`ud) and let your companion (Ibn
Mas`ud) come out to you; and if he should not (come out), I will come out and sit (with you).” Then
`Abdullah came out, holding the hand of Yazid, addressed us, saying, “I know that you are assembled
here, but the reason that prevents me from coming out to you, is that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to preach to
us at intervals during the days, lest we should become bored.”

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There are two blessings that many people are deceived into losing: health and free time.”

Narrated Anas: Um Sulaim said (to the Prophet), “Anas is your servant; so please invoke for Allah’s blessings for
him.” He said “O Allah! Increase his wealth and offspring, and Bless (for him) whatever You give
him.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: at-Tufail bin `Amr came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The tribe of Daus has
disobeyed (Allah and His Apostle) and refused (to embrace Islam), therefore, invoke Allah’s wrath for
them.” The people thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) would invoke Allah’s wrath for them, but he said, “O
Allah! Guide the tribe Of Daus and let them come to us.”

Narrated Jabir: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to teach us the Istikhara for each and every matter as he used to teach us the Suras
from the Holy Qur’an. (He used to say), “If anyone of you intends to do something, he should offer a
two-rak`at prayer other than the obligatory prayer, and then say: ‘Allahumma inni astakhiruka
bi’ilmika, wa astaqdiruka biqudratika, wa as’aluka min fadlika-l-‘azim, fa innaka taqdiru wala aqdiru,
wa ta’lamu wala a’lamu, wa anta’allamu-l-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-lamra
khairun li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa ‘aqibati `Amri (or said, fi ‘ajili `Amri wa ajilihi) fa-qdurhu li, Wa in
kunta ta’lamu anna ha-dha-l-amra sharrun li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa ‘aqibati `Amri (or said, fi ajili `Amri
wa ajilihi) fasrifhu ‘anni was-rifni ‘anhu wa aqdur li alkhaira haithu kana, thumma Raddani bihi,” Then
he should mention his matter (need).
