It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came in to her and asked: Have you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the supplication that he (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me? She asked: What is it? He said: Sayyiduna Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) used to teach this supplication to his companions: "If any of you had a debt as large as a mountain of gold and he called upon Allah with this supplication, Allah Almighty would pay it off on his behalf: 'Allahumma farijal-hamm, kashifal-ghamm, mujiba da'watil-mudtarrin, rahmanad-dunya wal-akhirati wa rahimahuma, anta tarhamuni farhamni rahmatan tughnini biha 'an rahmati man siwak' (O Allah, Remover of worries, Dispeller of grief, Answerer of the call of those in distress, Merciful in this world and the Hereafter and Most Compassionate in them both! You are the One who shows me mercy, so grant me a special mercy by which You make me free of need of the mercy of anyone besides You)." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Some debt remained upon me and I strongly disliked it, so I kept making this supplication, and Allah Almighty brought me some gain and paid off that debt on my behalf. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I owed Sayyidah Asma' bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) one dinar and three dirhams. Whenever she came to me, I felt ashamed to face her because I had no means of repaying her. Then I began making this supplication, and only a little time had passed when Allah Almighty granted me provision that was neither charity given to me nor an inheritance; rather, Allah paid off my debt, I also distributed it well among my family, I had jewellery of three uqiyahs of silver made for the daughter of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman, and a good amount was left over for us. Imam Bukhari used Abdullah bin Umar al-Numayri as evidence, and this hadith is sahih (authentic); however, the two Shaykhs did not use al-Hakam bin Abdullah al-Ayli as evidence.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everything that the son of Adam speaks is recorded against him. So when he commits a sin and wishes to repent to Allah, let him come to some elevated place, stretch out his hands before Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and say: 'Allahumma inni atubu ilayka minha, la arji'u ilayha abada' (O Allah, I repent to You from this sin, and I will never return to it), and he will be forgiven so long as he does not commit that sin again." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him this supplication and ordered him to remind his family of it every morning: 'Labbayk Allahumma labbayk wa sa'dayk, wal-khayru fi yadayk, wa minka wa ilayk. Allahumma ma qultu min qawl, aw halaftu min half, aw nadhartu min nadhr, fa mashi'atuka bayna yaday dhalika kullih, ma shi'ta kan, wa ma lam tasha' lam yakun, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa bik, innaka 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. Allahumma ma sallaytu min salatin fa'ala man sallayta, wa ma la'antu min la'nin fa'ala man la'anta, anta waliyyi fid-dunya wal-akhirah, tawaffani musliman wa alhiqni bis-salihin. Allahumma inni as'alukar-rida ba'dal-qada', wa bardal-'ayshi ba'dal-mawt, wa ladhdhatan-nazari ila wajhik, wa shawqan ila liqa'ik, fi ghayri darra'a mudirrah, wa la fitnatin mudillah, wa a'udhu bika an azlima aw uzlam, aw a'tadiya aw yu'tada 'alayy, aw aksiba khati'atan aw dhanban la taghfiruh. Allahumma fatiras-samawati wal-ard, 'alimal-ghaybi wash-shahadah, dhal-jalali wal-ikram, fa inni a'hadu ilayka fi hadhihil-hayatid-dunya wa ushhiduk, wa kafa bika shahida, anni ashhadu an la ilaha illa anta wahdaka la sharika lak, lakal-mulku wa lakal-hamd, wa anta 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduka wa rasuluk, wa ashhadu anna wa'daka haqq, wa liqa'aka haqq, wa annas-sa'ata atiyatun la rayba fiha wa annaka tab'athu man fil-qubur, wa annaka in takilni ila nafsi takilni ila da'fin wa 'awratin wa dhanbin wa khati'ah, wa inni la athiqu illa birahmatik, faghfir li dhunubi kullaha, innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant, wa tub 'alayya innaka antat-tawwabur-rahim.' (Here I am, O Allah, here I am, and ready to obey You. All good is in Your hands; everything is from You and to You is the return. O Allah, whatever statement I have made, or whatever oath I have sworn, or whatever vow I have taken, Your will comes before all of it: whatever You will happens, and whatever You do not will cannot happen. There is no ability to avoid sin and no strength to do good except through You. Indeed, You have power over all things. O Allah, whomever I have invoked blessings and mercy upon, let it be upon whom You have sent mercy, and whomever I have cursed, let it be upon whom You have cursed. You are my Protector in this world and the Hereafter; grant me death in a state of Islam and join me with the righteous. O Allah, I ask You for contentment after Your decree, a tranquil life after death, the delight of looking at Your Face, and longing to meet You, in a state in which no harmful affliction has struck and no misleading trial has come. I seek refuge in You from wronging anyone or being wronged, from transgressing or being transgressed against, or from committing an error or a sin that You will not forgive. O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Possessor of Majesty and Honour! I make a covenant with You in this worldly life and I call You to witness, and You suffice as a Witness, that I bear witness that there is no god but You alone, You have no partner; Yours is the dominion and to You belongs all praise, and You have power over all things. I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Your servant and Messenger. I bear witness that Your promise is true, that meeting You is true, and that the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it, and that You will raise up those who are in the graves [Surah al-Hajj: 7] . If You leave me to my own self, You will have left me to weakness, fault, sin and error. I trust in nothing but Your mercy, so forgive me all my sins; indeed, none forgives sins except You. And accept my repentance; indeed, You are the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful.) This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, 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 he said: We were walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in one of the gardens of Madinah when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Hurayrah!" I said: O Messenger of Allah! Here I am. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Those who have much wealth are the ones who will have little (of reward on the Day of Resurrection), except for the one who spends his wealth like this and like this (that is, in charity in every direction)" - and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to his right and to his left - "and such people are very few." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Hurayrah! Shall I not tell you of a treasure from among the treasures of Paradise?" I said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, wa la malja'a wa la manja minallahi illa ilayh' (There is no ability to avoid sin and no strength to do good except through the help of Allah, and there is no refuge and no escape from Allah except to Him)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Hurayrah! Do you know what the right of Allah is over His servants, and what the right of the servants is over Allah?" I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The right of Allah over the servants is that they worship Him and do not associate anything with Him, and the right of the servants over Allah is that He does not punish anyone who does not associate partners with Him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it in this form.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not leave reciting these words in the morning and in the evening: 'Allahumma inni as'alukal-'afwa wal-'afiyata fi dini wa dunyaya, wa ahli wa mali. Allahummastur 'awrati, wa amin raw'ati. Allahummahfazni min bayni yadayya wa min khalfi, wa 'an yamini wa 'an shimali wa min fawqi, wa a'udhu bi'azamatika an ughtala min tahti' (O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion and my worldly life, and in my family and my wealth. O Allah, cover my faults and grant me security from my fears (and anxieties). O Allah, protect me from in front of me, from behind me, from my right, from my left and from above me, and I seek refuge in Your greatness from being suddenly destroyed from beneath me); meaning, being swallowed up by the earth. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seeking guidance from Allah through istikharah (that is, asking Him for what is good) is part of the good fortune of the son of Adam, and abandoning istikharah with Allah is part of the misfortune of the son of Adam." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says: 'Raditu billahi rabban, wa bil-islami dinan, wa bi-Muhammadin rasulan' (I am pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as Messenger), Paradise becomes obligatory for him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Abu Sallam Sabiq bin Najiyah that he said: We were sitting in the mosque of Hims when a man passed by. The people said that he had served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I went up to him and asked him: Narrate to me a hadith that you yourself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), with no chain of many narrators between you and him (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Any servant who says in the morning and in the evening: 'Raditu billahi rabban, wa bil-islami dinan, wa bi-Muhammadin nabiyyan' (I am pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as Prophet), it is a right (an obligation) upon Allah to please him on the Day of Resurrection." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, 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 he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever says 'Subhan Allahi wa bihamdih' (Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him) one hundred times in the morning and in the evening, his sins are forgiven, even if they are more than the foam of the sea." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left his house, he would make this supplication: 'Bismillah, rabbi a'udhu bika an azilla aw adilla, aw azlima aw uzlama, aw ajhala aw yujhala 'alayya' (In the name of Allah (I go out). O my Lord, I seek refuge in You from slipping or going astray, from wronging (anyone) or being wronged, and from behaving foolishly or being treated foolishly). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. If anyone imagines that Imam al-Sha'bi did not hear from Sayyidah Umm Salamah, that is not correct, for he visited both Sayyidah Aishah and Sayyidah Umm Salamah and narrated abundantly from both of them.
