The Book Pertaining to the Remembrance of Allah, Supplication, Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to command us that as we go to our bedo, we should utter the words (as mention- ed above) and he also said (these words):

" From the evil of every animal, You have hold upon its forelock (You bast full control over it)."

Abu Huraira reported that Fatima (the daughter of the Prophet) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked for a servant. He said to her:

Say:" O Allah, the Lord of the seven heavens" ; the rest of the hadith is the same.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as say- ing:

When any one of you goes to bed, he should take hold of the hem of his lower garment and then should clean (his bed) with the help of that and then should recite the name of Allah for he himself does tiot know what he left behind him on his bed, and when he intends to lie on bed, he should lie on his right side and utter these words:" Hallowed be Allah, my Lord. It is with Your (grace) that I place my side (upon the bed) and it is with You that I take it up (after sleep), and in case You withholdst my being (if you causest me to die), then grant pardon to my being, and if You keepst (this process of breathing on), then protect it with that with which You protected Your pious servants."

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ubaidullah b. Umar with the same chain of transmitters and he said:

Then utter:" My Lord. with Your name I place my side and if You keepest me alive have mercy upon myself"

Anas reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

When you go to bed, say:" Praise is due to Allah Who fed us, provided us drink, sufficed us and provided us with shelter, for many a people there is none to suffice and none to provide shelter."

Farwa' b. Naufal Ashja'i reported:

I asked: 'A'isha, in what words did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) supplicate Allah? She said that he used to utter:" I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I did and from the evil of what I did not."

Farwa' b. Naufal reported:

I asked 'A'isha about the supplication that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made. She said that he used to say:" O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done."

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Muhammad b. ja'far through another chain of transmitters.

Farwa' b. Naufal reported on the authority of 'A'isha that Allah's Mes- senger (ﷺ) used to supplicate (in these words):

" O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I did and from the evil of what I did not."

Ibn 'Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say:

" O Allah, it is unto You that I surrender myself. I affirm my faith in You and repose my trust in You and turn to You in repentance and with Your help fought my adversaries. O Allah, I seek refuge in You with Your Power; there is no god but You, lest You leadest me astray. You are ever-living that dieth not, while the Jinn and mankind die."

Abu Huraira reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out on a journey in the morning, he used to say:

" A listener listened to our praising Allah (for) His goodly trial of us. Our Lord! acompany us, guard us and bestow upon us Your grace. I am seeker of refuge in Allah from the Fire."

Abu Musa Ash'ari reported on the authority of his father that Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate in these words:

" O Allah, forgive me my faults, my ignorance, my immoderation in my concerns. And You are better aware (of my affairs) than myself. O Allah, grant me forgiveness (of the faults which I committed) seriously or otherwise (and which I committed inadvertently and de- liberately. All these (failings) are in me. O Allah, grant me forgiveness from the fault which I did in haste or deferred, which I committed in privacy or in public and You are better aware of (them) than myself. You are the First and the Last and over all things You are Omnipotent."

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate (in these words):

" O Allah, set right for me my religion which is the safeguard of my affairs. And set right for me the affairs of my world wherein is my living. And set right for me my Hereafter on which depends my after-life. And make the life for me (a source) of abundance for every good and make my death a source of comfort for me protecting me against every evil."

Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate (in these words):

" O Allah. I beg of You the right guidance, safeguard against evils, chastity and freedom from want."

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.

Zaid b. Alqam reported:

I am not going to say anything but only that which Allah's Messenger (may peace be upgn him) used to say. He used to supplicate:" O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, from sloth, from cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude and from torment of the grave. O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for You are the Best Purifier thereof. You are the Protecting Friend thereof, and Guardian thereof. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allah), from the soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded."

Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that when it was evening Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate:

" We entered upon evening and the whole Kingdom of Allah also entered upon evening and praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, the One Who has no partner with Him." Hasan said that Zubaid reported to him that he memorised it from Ibrahim in these very words." His is the Sovereignty and Praise is due to Him, and He is Potent over everything. O Allah, I beg of You the good of this night and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil which follows it. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sloth, from the evil of vanity. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from torment in the Hell-Fire and from torment in the grave."

Abdullah reported that when it was evening Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate:

" We have entered upon evening and so, too, the whole Kingdom of Allah has entered upon evening. Praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, the One having no partner with Him." He (the narrator) said: I think that he also uttered (in this supplication these words):" His is tne Sovercignty and to Him is praise due and He is Potent over everything. My Lord, I beg of You good that lies in this night and good that follows it and I seek refuge in You from the evil that lies in this night and from the evil of that which follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from sloth, from the evil of vanity. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from torment of the Hell-Fire and from torment of the grave." And when it was morning he said like this:" We entered upon morning and the whole Kingdom of Allah enter ed upon morning."

Abdullah reported that when it was evening Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate:

" We have entered upon evening and so has the Kingdom of Allah entere d upon evening; praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah the One, and there is no partner with Him. O Allah, I beg of You the blessing of this night and the blessing of that which lies in it. I seek refuge in You from the evil of it and what lies in it. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sloth, from decrepitude, from the evil of vanity, from trial of the world, and from torment of the grave." Zubaid, through another chain of transmitters, has narrated on the authority of Abdullah directly this addition:" There is no god but Allah, the One, there is no partner with Him, His is the Sovereignty and to Him is praise due and He is Potent over everything."
