It is narrated from Rabi'ah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Alizzu bi-ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (Hold fast to (the words) 'O Possessor of Majesty and Honour' and supplicate to Allah earnestly with them)." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (its chain is authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Alizzu bi-ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (Recite (the words) 'O Possessor of Majesty and Honour' abundantly and persist with them (in supplication))."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them (the Companions): "O people, would you like to exert yourselves fully in supplication?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Allahumma a'inna 'ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ibadatik' (O Allah, help us to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner)." This hadith is sahih (authentic), because the narrator named Kharijah has only been criticised for narrating from unknown (majhul) narrators; but when he narrates from reliable and firm narrators, his narration is accepted.
