Narrated Ibn `Abbas: One night I slept at the house of Maimuna. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up, answered the call of nature, washed
his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night), went to a water skin, opened the mouth
thereof and performed ablution not using much water, yet he washed all the parts properly and then
offered the prayer. I got up and straightened my back in order that the Prophet (ﷺ) might not feel that I
was watching him, and then I performed the ablution, and when he got up to offer the prayer, I stood on
his left. He caught hold of my ear and brought me over to his right side. He offered thirteen rak`at in
all and then lay down and slept till he started blowing out his breath as he used to do when he slept. In
the meantime Bilal informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of the approaching time for the (Fajr) prayer, and the
Prophet offered the Fajr (Morning) prayer without performing new ablution. He used to say in his
invocation, Allahumma ij`al fi qalbi nuran wa fi basari nuran, wa fi sam`i nuran, wa`an yamini nuran,
wa`an yasari nuran, wa fawqi nuran, wa tahti nuran, wa amami nuran, wa khalfi nuran, waj`al li
nuran.” Kuraib (a sub narrator) said, “I have forgotten seven other words, (which the Prophet (ﷺ)
mentioned in this invocation). I met a man from the offspring of Al-`Abbas and he narrated those
seven things to me, mentioning, ‘(Let there be light in) my nerves, my flesh, my blood, my hair and
my body,’ and he also mentioned two other things.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever among you takes an oath wherein he says, ‘By Al-Lat and Al-`Uzza,’
names of two Idols worshipped by the Pagans, he should say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah; And whoever says to his friend, ‘Come, let me gamble with you ! He should give something in
charity. ” (See Hadith No. 645)

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the Prophet (ﷺ) got up at night to offer the night prayer, he used to say: “Allahumma laka l-hamdu;
Anta nuras-samawati wal ardi wa man fihinna. wa laka l-hamdu; Anta qaiyim as-samawati wal ardi
wa man flhinna. Wa lakaI-hamdu; Anta-l-,haqqun, wa wa’daka haqqun, wa qauluka haqqun, wa
liqauka haqqun, wal-jannatu haqqun, wannaru haqqun, was-sa atu haqqun, wan-nabiyyuna huqqun,
Mahammadun haqqun, Allahumma laka aslamtu, wa Alaika tawakkaltu, wa bika amantu, wa ilaika
anabtu, wa bika Khasamtu, wa ilaika hakamtu, faghfirli ma qaddamtu wa ma akh-khartu, wa ma
asrartu, wa ma a’lantu. Anta al-muqaddimu, wa anta al-mu-‘akhkhiru. La ilaha il-la anta (or La ilaha
ghairuka)”

Narrated Ibn `Umar: During the life-time of the Prophet (ﷺ) I built a house with my own hands so that it might protect me from
the rain and shade me from the sun; and none of Allah’s creatures assisted me in building it.

Narrated `Amr: Ibn `Umar said, “By Allah, I have not put a brick over a brick (i.e. constructed a building) or planted
any date-palm tree since the death of the Prophet.” Sufyan (the sub narrator) said, “I told this narration
(of Ibn `Umar) to one of his (Ibn `Umar’s) relatives, and he said, ‘By Allah, he did build (something.’
“Sufyan added, “I said, ‘He must have said (the above narration) before he built.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “For every prophet there is one (special
invocation (that will not be rejected) with which he appeals (to
Allah), and I want to keep such an invocation for interceding for my
followers in the Hereafter.”

Narrated Anas: that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “For every prophet there is an invocation that
surely will be responded by Allah,” (or said), “For every prophet
there was an invocation with which he appealed to Allah, and his
invocation was accepted (in his lifetime), but I kept my (this
special) invocation to intercede for my followers on the Day of
Resurrection.”

Narrated Shaddad bin Aus: The Prophet (ﷺ) said “The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is:

O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship except You. You have created me, and I am Your servant, and I am faithful to Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I admit my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You. (Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtani wa ana `Abduka, wa ana `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu,
A`udhu bika min Sharri ma sana`tu, abu’u Laka bini`matika `alaiya, wa abu’u laka bidhanbi faghfir lee
fa innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta)
” The Prophet (ﷺ) added. “If somebody recites it during the day
with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of
Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will
be from the people of Paradise.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying.” By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in
repentance more than seventy times a day.”

Narrated Al-Harith bin Suwaid: `Abdullah bin Mas`ud related to us two narrations: One from the Prophet (ﷺ) and the other from himself,
saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on
him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives
them away like this.” Abu Shihab (the sub-narrator) moved his hand over his nose in illustration. (Ibn
Mas`ud added): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than a
man who encamps at a place where his life is jeopardized, but he has his riding beast carrying his food
and water. He then rests his head and sleeps for a short while and wakes to find his riding beast gone.
(He starts looking for it) and suffers from severe heat and thirst or what Allah wished (him to suffer
from). He then says, ‘I will go back to my place.’ He returns and sleeps again, and then (getting up), he
raises his head to find his riding beast standing beside him.”
