Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked for Allah’s wrath upon the Ahzab (confederates), saying, “O Allah, the Revealer
of the Holy Book, and the One swift at reckoning! Defeat the confederates; Defeat them and shake
them.”

The most frequent invocation of The Prophet (ﷺ) was: “O Allah! Give to us in the world that which is
good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire.” (2.201)

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to teach us these words as he used to teach us the Book (Qur’an): “O Allah! seek
refuge with You from miserliness, and seek refuge with You from cowardice, and seek refuge with
You from being brought back to (senile) geriatric old age, and seek refuge with You from the
affliction of the world and from the punishment in the Hereafter.”

My father died and left behind seven or nine daughters, and I married a woman. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Did you get married, O Jabir?” I replied, “Yes.” He asked, “Is she a virgin or a matron?” I replied,
“She is a matron.” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a virgin girl so that you might play with her and
she with you (or, you might make her laugh and she make you laugh)?” I said, “My father died,
leaving seven or nine girls (orphans) and I did not like to bring a young girl like them, so I married a
woman who can look after them.” He said, “May Allah bestow His Blessing on you.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual intercourse with his wife, says:
‘Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna-sh-shaitan, wa jannibi-sh-shaitan ma razaqtana,’ and if the couple are
destined to have a child (out of that very sexual relation), then Satan will never be able to harm that
child.”

Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) returned from a Ghazwa or Hajj or `Umra, he used to say, “Allahu Akbar,”
three times; whenever he went up a high place, he used to say, “La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la sharika
lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd, wa huwa’ala kulli Shai ‘in qadir. Ayibuna ta’ibuna ‘abiduna
lirabbina hamidun. Sadaqa-l-lahu wa’dahu, wa nasara`Abdahu wa hazama-l-ahzaba wahdahu.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) seeing a yellow mark (of perfume) on the clothes of `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf, said,
“What about you?” `Abdur-Rahman replied, “I have married a woman with a Mahr of gold equal to a
date-stone.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “May Allah bestow His Blessing on you (in your marriage). Give a
wedding banquet, (Walima) even with one sheep.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for some water and performed the ablution, and then raised his hands (towards the
sky) and said, “O Allah! Forgive `Ubaid Abi ‘Amir.” I saw the whiteness of his armpits (while he was
raising his hands) and he added, “O Allah! Upgrade him over many of Your human creatures on the
Day of Resurrection.”

We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we
used to say Takbir (in a loud voice). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O people! Be kind to yourselves, for you are
not calling upon a deaf or an absent one, but You are calling an All-Hearer, and an All-Seer.” Then he
came to me as I was reciting silently, “La haul a wala quwwata illa bil-lah.” He said, “O `Abdullah bin
Qais! Say: La haul a walaquwata illa bil-lah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise.” Or he said,
“Shall I tell you a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise? It is: La haul a wala quwwata illa
bil-lah.”

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.”
