Agharr Abi Muslim reported: I bear witness to the fact that both Abu Hurairah (RA) and Abu Sa'id Khudri were present when Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him) said: The people do not sit but they are surrounded by angels and covered by Mercy, and there descends upon them tranquillity as they remember Allah, and Allah makes a mention of them to those who are near Him.

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Mu'awiyah went to a circle in the mosque and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah (to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose)? They said: By Allah, we are sitting here for this very purpose. Thereupon, he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath, because of any allegation against you and none of my rank in the eye of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) is the narrator of so few ahadith as I am. The fact is that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us. Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah, we are not sitting here but for this very purpose, whereupon he (the Messenger) said: I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Gabriel (ؑ) came to me and he informed me that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, was talking to the angels about your magnificence.

Al-Agharr al-Muzani, who was one amongst the Companions (of the Holy Prophet) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: There is (at times) some sort of shade upon my heart, and I seek forgiveness from Allah a hundred times a day.

Al-Agharr al-Muzani who was from amongst the Companions of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reported that Ibn 'Umar stated to him that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: O people, seek repentance from Allah. Verily, I seek repentance from Him a hundred times a day.

Abu Musa reported: We were along with Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on a journey when the people began to pronounce Allah-o-Akbar in a loud voice. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: O people, show mercy to yourselves for you are not calling One Who is deaf or absent. Verily, you are calling One Who is All-Hearing (and) Near to you and is with you. Abu Musa told that he had been behind him (the Holy Prophet) and reciting: "There is neither might nor power but that of Allah." He (the Holy Prophet), while addressing 'Abdullah bin Qais (RA) , said: Should I not direct you to a treasure from amongst the treasurers of Paradise? I ('Abdullah bin Qais (RA)) said: Allah's Messenger, do it, of course. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then recite: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

He said: Abu Musa or 'Abdullah b Qais, should I not direct you to the words (which form) the treasure of Paradise? I said: Allah's Messenger, what are these? He said: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."
