When the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed, he would say: “Bismika amutu wa ahya.” and when he got up he
would say:” Al-hamdu li l-lahil-ladhi ahyana ba’da ma amatana wa ilaihin-nushur.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than anyone of you is
pleased with finding his camel which he had lost in the desert. ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray eleven rak`at in the late part of the night, and when dawn appeared, he
would offer two rak`at and then lie on his right side till the Muadhdhin came to inform him (that the
morning prayer was due).

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.”

`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.”

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.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said “The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: ‘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.”

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.”

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.”

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)
