It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Tufail bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Would you like to reside in the fortress and protection of the tribe of Daws?" The narrator says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) refused, because this honor had been reserved by Allah Almighty for the Ansar. Then Sayyiduna Tufail (may Allah be pleased with him) and a man from his people migrated towards Madinah. That man fell ill and became distressed, or the narrator said a word to this effect. So he dragged himself to his quiver, took out an arrow, cut the veins of his neck with it, and died. Sayyiduna Tufail (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him in a dream and asked him: "How were you treated?" He said: "I was forgiven due to the blessing of migrating to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." He asked: "What is the matter with your hands?" He replied: "It was said to me: We will not set right what you yourself have ruined with your hands." The narrator says that Sayyiduna Tufail (may Allah be pleased with him) related this dream to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he supplicated thus: "O Allah, forgive his hands as well." And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) raised both his hands in supplication.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to seek Allah’s protection by supplicating:“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, I seek refuge in You from cowardice, and I seek refuge in You from becoming very old, and I seek refuge in You from miserliness.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'I deal with My servant according to his expectation of Me, and I am with him when he calls upon Me.'"

Narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The chief of supplications for forgiveness (Sayyid al-Istighfar) is this: «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ» O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity except You. You created me and I am Your servant. And I am upon Your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I confess my sins, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. Whoever says these words sincerely in the evening and dies that night will enter Paradise. Or he said:“He will be among the people of Paradise. And whoever says it in the morning and dies that day, then the same reward applies.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: We used to count in one gathering of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he would recite this supplication one hundred times: «رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ» "O my Lord! Forgive me and accept my repentance, surely You are the Most Accepting of repentance, Most Merciful."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Duha prayer, then kept reciting this supplication: «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ» "O Allah, forgive me and accept my repentance, surely You are the Most Accepting of repentance, the Most Merciful." He recited this supplication one hundred times.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلا أَنْتَ.» "The chief of supplications for forgiveness is for a servant to say: 'O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I am upon Your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me and I confess my sins to You, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.' Whoever says these words during the day with firm belief in them and dies before evening, he will be among the people of Paradise. And whoever says them at night with firm belief in them and dies before morning, he will be among the people of Paradise."

Agharr, a companion from the Juhaina tribe, reports to Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Turn to Allah in repentance, for indeed I repent to Him one hundred times every day."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin 'Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whoever recites the following tasbihat, which are mentioned ahead and behind, will never be deprived. They are: «سبحان الله، الحمد لله، لا إله إلا الله، الله أكبر» , one hundred times. Ibn Abi Anisah (may Allah have mercy on him) and 'Amr bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) have narrated this as marfu'.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The supplication that is accepted the quickest is the supplication made by a person for another in his absence."
