Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "Two
statements are light on the tongue,
weigh heavily in the balance, and are

Here are the two statements":
Glory

there is none worthy of worship but
Allah, and Allah is the Most Great.

thousand Hasanah (rewards) in a
day?" Someone from his gathering

a thousand Hasanah will be written for
you, or a thousand sins will be wiped
away."

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "O
Abdullah bin Qais, should I not point
you to one of the treasures of
Paradise?" I said, "Yes, O
Messenger of Allah." So he told me
to say:

Allah.

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: The most
beloved words to Allah are four.
They are:
سُبْحَانَ
اللهِ، /
Glorified
is Allah
And
الْحَمْدُ
للهِ، /
The
praise is for Allah
And
لاَ
إِلَهَ

اللهُ /
There
is none worthy of worship but Allah
And
اللهُ
أَكْبَرُ

262. A
desert Arab came to Allah's Messenger
(SAW) and said, "Teach me a word
that I can say. " The Prophet told
him to say:
There
is none worthy of worship but Allah ,
Who has no partner, Allah is the Great,
the Most Great, and praise is to Allah
in abundance, glory is to Allah, Lord of
the worlds . There is no power and no
might but by Allah the Mighty, the Wise.
He said,
"That is for my Lord, but what
about me?" The Prophet (SAW) told
him to say:
O
Allah forgive me, and have mercy on me
and guide me, and provide for me.
Reference:
Muslim 4/2072, Abu Dawud reports the
same Hadith with the addition: and when
the Arab left, the Prophet (SAW) said:
"He has filled his hands with
goodness." 1/220.
263.
Whenever anyone accepted Islam, the
Prophet (SAW) used to teach him how to
pray, then he would instruct him to
invoke Allah with the following words:
O
Allah forgive me, and have mercy on me
and guide me and give me good health and
provide for me.
Reference:
Muslim 4/2073, and in one of Muslim's
reports there is the addition: 'For
these words combine [the goodness of]
this world and the next.'

most excellent invocation is:
الْحَمْدُ
للهِ
/ Praise
is for Allah.
And
لاَإِلَه
إِلاَّ
اللهُ /
There
is none worthy of worship but Allah.

"And
remember your Lord by your tongue and
within yourself, humbly and in awe,
without loudness, by words in the
morning and in the afternoon, and be not
among those who are neglectful." -
Al-Araf 7:205
The
Prophet (pbuh) said: "He who
remembers his Lord and he who does not
remember his Lord are like the living
and the dead." - Al-Bukhari, cf.,
Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 11/208; Muslim
1/539 with the wording "The house
in which Allah is remembered and the
house in which Allah is not remembered
is like the living and the dead."
And he
said, "Shall I not inform you of
the best of your works, the purest of
them with your Master (Allah), the
loftiest of them in your stations, the
thing that is better for you than
spending gold and silver (in charity),
and better for you than meeting your
enemies and slaying them and being slain
by them?" They (the Companions)
said, "Of course!" He said,
"Rememberance of Allah, the Most
high." - At-Tirmithi 5/459, Ibn
Majah 2/1245. See Al-Albani, Sahih Ibn
Majah 2/316 and Sahih At-Tirmithi 3/139.
And he
said, "Allah the Most High says, 'I
amd with my slave when he thinks of Me
and I am with him when he mentions Me.
For if he mentions Me to himself, I
mention him to Myself; and if he
mentions Me in a gathering, I mention
him in superior gathering. If he
approaches Me by a hand's width, I
approach him by an arm's length, I
approach him by two arms length. And if
he comes to me walking, I hasten to him
swiftly.'" - Al-ukhari 8/171,
Muslim 4/2061; this wording is from Al-Bukhari.
Abdullah
bin Busr (raa) said that a man asked the
Prophet (pbuh), "O Messenger of
Allah! Verily, the sanctions of Islam
have become too numerous for me (to
perform them all). Inform me of
something (simple) that I may adhere
to." The Prophet (pbuh) said,
"Let your tongue always be moist
with the rememberance of Allah." -
At-0tirmithi 5/458, Ibn Majah 2/1246.
See Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmithi 3/139
and Sahih Ibn Majah 2/317.
And he
said, "Whoever reads one letter
from the Book of Allah, will receive one
Hasanah (reward for a good deed), and
one Hasanah comes with ten like it. I do
not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is a letter.
Indeed Alif is a letter, and Lam is a
letter, and Mim is a letter." - At-Tirmithi
5/175. See Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmithi
3/9 and Sahihul-Jami' As-Saghir 5/340.
Uqbah bin
Amir (raa) said: The Messenger of Allah
(pbuh) came out (from his house) and we
were of the porch (As-Suffah). So he
said, "Who of you would like to go
out in the morning everyday to the
valley of Buthan or Al-'Aqeeq and come
back with two large she camels without
commiting any sin or severing any family
ties?" We replied, "O
Messenger of Allah! All of us would like
this." So he said, "Would one
of you not go to the Masjid and learn to
recite two Verses from the Book of
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic? That
would be better than two she camels. And
three Verses would be better for him
than three she-camels. And four Verses
would be better than four she-camels,
and whatever their number may be of
camels." - Muslim 1/553
And he
said, "Whoever sits and does not
mention the Name of Allah (before he
rises) will find it a cause of
sorrowfrom Allah. Whoever lies down to
sleep and does npt mention the name of
Allah before rising, will find it a
cause of sorrow from Allah." - Abu
Dawud 4/264. See Al-Albani, Sahihul-Jami'
As-Saghir 5/342.
And the
Prophet (saw) said: "No people sit
in an assembly without mentioning Allah,
and without asking Allah for blessings
on their Prophet, except that it will be
a cause of sorrow upon them. Thus if He
(Allah) wishes He will punish them, and
if He wishes He will forgive them."
- At-Tirmithi. See Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmithi
3/140.
And he
said: "No people may rise from an
assembly in which they have failed to
mention the Name of Allah without it
being as if they were getting off a dead
donkeys rotting back, and it would be a
cause of grief for them." - Abu
Dawud 4/264, Ahmad 2/389. See Al-Albani,
Sahihul-Jami' 5/176.
Types
of goodness and good etiquette for
community life
267. When
evening descends, bring your children
indoors for the devils scatter out at
this hour. Then after the passing of an
hour (i.e. the first hour) of the night,
(you may) let them (the children) go.
Close your doors while mentioning the
Name of Allah, for the devil may not
open a closed door. Fasten your
water-skins mentioning the Name of
Allah. Cover your eating vessels
mentioning the Name of Allah even if you
just put something over it, and
extinguish your lamps.

excellence of asking for Allah's
blessings upon the Prophet (SAW)

not know."

Repentance
and seeking forgiveness
248.
Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "By
Allah, I seek the forgiveness of Allah,
and repent to Him more than seventy
times in a day
I
seek the forgiveness of Allah the
Mighty, Whom there is none worthy of
worship except Him, the Living, the
Eternal, and I repent to Him, Allah will
forgive him even if he has deserted the
army's ranks.

Abu Dawud 2/85, At-Tirmithi 5/569, and
Al-Hakim who declared it authentic and
Ath-Thahabi agreed with him 1/511. Al-Albani

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "It
is a heavy thing for my heart if I do
not seek Allah's forgiveness a hundred
times a day."
Reference:
Muslim 4/2075. Ibn 'Athir explains that
the Prophet (SAW) was always vigilant in
his remembrance and drawing near to
Allah, and if he forgot to do any of
what he normally did from time to time,
or it slipped his mind, he felt as if he
had wronged himself and so he would
begin to seek the forgiveness of Allah.
See Jami'ul-'Usool 4/386.
