Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the whole night repeating a single verse until morning came, and that verse was: "If You punish them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, then indeed You are the Almighty, the All-Wise." This hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me something that will suffice me in place of the Qur'an, for I do not know how to read." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Subhan Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (Glory be to Allah, all praise is for Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power to avoid sin nor strength to do good except from Allah)." The man closed his hand into a fist and said: "This is for my Lord; what is there for me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Allahumma ighfir li, warhamni, wahdini, warzuqni, wa 'afini' (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, provide for me and grant me well-being)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
