Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):“Three men were walking when rain overtook them, so they entered a cave in a mountain. A rock fell upon them and blocked the way. So they said: ‘Call upon Allah by means of your most beloved deeds.’ One of them said: O Allah! You know that my parents were old and advanced in age. One day I came home in the evening and milked for both of them. When I came to them, they were both asleep. I did not like to wake them, nor did I like to give milk to my children before them. My children were crying at my feet, but I remained standing until morning came and they woke up, then I gave them to drink. O Allah! If You know that I did this hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then grant us relief and show us the sky. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A little relief appeared and they could see the sky.

The second person said: O Allah! You know that I had a cousin whom I loved intensely, as men love women. Once I sought her nearness, but she said: ‘No, not until you give me one hundred dinars.’ I strove for it and gathered the amount, then came to her. When I sat between her legs, she said: ‘O servant of Allah, fear Allah and do not break the seal unlawfully.’ So I left her. O Allah! If You know that I did this hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then grant us relief and show us the sky. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A piece of the rock moved and they could see the sky.

The third person said: O Allah! I hired a man for a specific measure of rice. When night came, I paid him his wages, but he did not take it and became angry with me. I took the measure of rice and started farming with it until it turned into cows and goats. After some time, that man came to me and said: ‘O servant of Allah! Fear Allah and do not wrong me in my wages.’ So I said to him: ‘Take these cows and their shepherd.’ He said: ‘Fear Allah and do not mock me.’ I said: ‘I am not mocking you. These are yours. If I wished, I could have given you only a measure of rice.’ O Allah! If You know that I did this hoping for Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, then grant us relief. So the rock moved away from there and they came out.”

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah! I have accepted Islam for Your sake, I have believed in You, I have put my trust in You, I have turned towards You, and with Your help I argue. There is no deity except You. I seek refuge in You from being led astray by You. You are the Ever-Living who will never die, while all jinn and humans will die."

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: O Muhammad (peace be upon him)! ‘Abdul Muttalib was better for his people than you. He used to give them (camel) livers and humps to eat, while you are slaughtering them. He also said whatever else Allah willed him to say. When he was about to leave, he asked: What should I recite? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: You should recite this:“O Allah! Save me from the evil of my own self and make me firm upon the most guided matter.”Then the man left. He had not accepted Islam. (After some time, he again came to your service.) He said: O Messenger of Allah! I had come to you before and requested you to teach me something, so you said:“O Allah! Save me from the evil of my own self and make me firm upon the most guided matter.”Now that I have accepted Islam, what should I say? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: You should say:“O Allah! Save me from the evil of my own self and make me firm upon the most guided matter. O Allah! Forgive whatever I have done secretly or openly, whatever I have done by mistake, whatever I have done deliberately, and whatever I have done unknowingly.”

Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abu al-As and a woman related to the Quraysh have narrated that both of them heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) supplicating: "O Allah! Forgive my sins, my mistakes, and my intentional actions." While another narrator has stated that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) supplicating: "O Allah! I seek from You the most guided guidance in my affairs, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, all the hearts of the children of Adam are between two fingers of the Most Merciful, like a single heart. He turns it as He wills." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: "O Allah! Turn our hearts towards Your obedience."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: "If any Muslim does not have anything to give in charity, then he should make this supplication: 'O Allah! Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is Your servant and Messenger. Send blessings upon him, and send blessings upon the believing men and believing women, and upon the Muslim men and Muslim women.' This will be considered as zakat." The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A believer is never satisfied with doing good until his abode is Paradise."
