حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ الْمَاجِشُ ونِقَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَنِى عَمِّى وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ أَخْبَرَنِى أَبِى حَدَّثَنِى الأَعْرَجُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِىَ لِلَّذِى فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ رَبِّى وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِى فَاغْفِرْ لِى ذُنُوبِى جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاهْدِنِى لأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاَقِ لاَ يَهْدِى لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّى سَيِّئَهَا لاَ يَصْرِفُ عَنِّى سَيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ فِى يَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ. فَإِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِى وَبَصَرِى وَعِظَامِى وَعَصَبِى. فَإِذَا رَفَعَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَاءِ وَمِلْءَ الأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ بَعْدُ. فَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ سَجَدَ وَجْهِى لِلَّذِى خَلَقَهُ فَصَوَّرَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ. ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا يَقُولُ بَيْنَ التَّشَهُّدِ وَالتَّسْلِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِى مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَفْتُ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّى أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
When the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon Him, used to stand in prayer, (1) he would say, "I have turned my face toward he who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not one of those who associate others with God. Truly, my prayer and my rites to sacrifice, my living and my dying, are for God, the Lord of the worlds. (2) He has no partner. And this I have been commanded, and I am the first [among you] of the Muslims. O God, You are the Sovereign; there is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am your bondsman. (3) I have wronged myself but I have acknowledged my sin, so forgive me all my sins - surely, no one forgives sins but You. Guide me to the most beautiful of character, for no one does so but You; and avert from me the most vile of character, for no one does so but You. I respond to your call and commit to it. All good is in Your hands and evil is not attributed to You. To you I owe my existence, and to you I strive. Blessed and Exalted are You. I seek Your forgiveness and I turn in repentance to You." When he bowed down, he would say, "O God, to You I have bowed; in You I have believed; and to You I have submitted. Humbled before you are my hearing, my sight, my bones and my sinews." When he rose [from bowing], he would say, "O God, our Lord, to You is praise filling up the heaven, filling up the earth, filling up whatever is in between them, and filling up all that You will, beyond that." When he prostrated, he would say, "O God, to You I have prostrated; in You I have believed; and to You I have submitted. My face has prostrated to the One who has created it, fashioned it and brought forth its faculties of hearing and sight - so blessed is God, the best of creators." Thereafter he would say, and this would be one of the last things he would say between the tashahhud (4) and the greeting, "O God, forgive me my sins that have already passed and those that are still to occur, those that I have committed secretly and those that I have committed publicly, my excesses, and what You are more aware of than me. You are the Expediter and You are the Delayer; there is no God but You." Footnotes: (1): i.e. after entering the state of prayer. (2): Mankind, angels and all creation. (3): Masculine pronouns are generally used in Arabic as a means for referring to both men and women when the meaning is left general and is not otherwise specified. (4): An invocation that is recited in the middle and at the end of prayer, while sitting. Click on ḥadīth to read more

It was observed that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, [supplicated] in [any] gathering, "O my Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance. Verily, You are The Acceptor of repentance, The Ever-Forgiving," a hundred times, before he left. Click on ḥadīth to read more

‘Abdullāh Ibn-Qays related, "We were with the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, in a battle. When we headed back and approached Madīnah, the people made takbīr (1) once in a loud voice. Thereupon the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, 'Verily, your Lord is not deaf, nor is He absent! He is between you and the heads of your mounts.' Then he added, '‘Abdullāh Ibn-Qays, shall I teach you a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? There is no ability or power not given by God (2).'" The expression "between you and the heads of your mounts" signifies (the comprehensiveness of) God's knowledge and omnipotence. Footnotes: (1) Testifying in God's greatness (2) i.e. a person’s situation will not change from one state to another and he will not be able to make that change except with God’s will.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِى زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِىَ بِى فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَقْرِئْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّى السَّلاَمَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ الْمَاءِ وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ وَأَنَّ غِرَاسَهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِى أَيُّوبَ. قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon Him, said, " I met Abraham the night I was taken for a journey by night (i.e. during the Night Journey and Ascension (1)) and he said, 'Muḥammad, send my greetings to your nation and tell them that Paradise is of fragrant soil and fresh water; and that it is flat clearings and that its seedlings are: Exalted is God, praise is to God, there is no god but Allāh (2), and God is the greatest.'" Footnotes: (1) (al-isrā' and al-mi'rāj): the Night Journey of Prophet Muḥammad from Makkah to Jerusalem and his ascension to the seventh heaven. (2) Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number. Click on ḥadīth to read more

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, asked his companions, who were sitting with him, "Is anyone of you unable to earn one thousand good deeds (1)? So one of them asked him, "How can anyone of us earn one thousand good deeds?" He replied, "Anyone of you who exalts [God] one hundred times is awarded one thousand good deeds; and one thousand evil deeds (committed) are off-loaded from him." Footnotes: 1- Because each good deed is multiplied by ten. Click on ḥadīth to read more
