Anas reported God’s messenger as saying that when a man goes out of his house and says, "In the name of God; I trust in God; there is no might and no power but in God," the following will be said to him at that time, "You are guided, defended and protected." The devil will go far from him and another devil will say, "How can you deal with a man who has been guided, defended and protected?" Abu Dawud transmitted it, and Tirmidhi transmitted up to“the devil will go far from him."

Abu Malik al-Ash'ari reported God's messenger as saying that when a man goes into his house he should say,“O God, I ask Thee for good both when entering and when going out; in the name of God we have entered and in God our Lord do we trust.”He should then greet his family. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Abu Huraira said that when the Prophet congratulated* a man on his marriage he said,“God bless you, bless you both, and prosper your union.”*The verb used is raffa'a which originally meant saying to someone who had just been married, "may the marriage produce close union and sons." It is said that because this was a phrase used in pre-lslamic times, the Prophet substituted for it the words used in this tradition. The verb thus develops simply the meaning of congratulating without in itself involving any particular formula. Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Amr b. Shu'aib, on his father’s authority, said his grandfather told how the Prophet said that when anyone of them married a woman, or bought a servant he should say,“O God, I ask Thee for the good in her and in the disposition Thou hast given her, and I seek refuge in Thee from the evil in her and in the disposition Thou hast given her.”When he buys a camel he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. In a version regarding a woman and a servant it says he should take hold of her forelock and make supplication for a blessing. Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Abu Bakra reported God’s messenger as saying that the supplications to be used by one who is distressed are,“O God, Thy mercy is what I hope for. Do not abandon me to myself for an instant, but put all my affairs in good order for me. There is no god but Thou.”Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri told of a man who said to God’s messenger that he was entangled in cares and debts. He replied,“Shall I not teach you words by which, when you say them, God will remove your care and settle your debt?”and when the man expressed a desire to hear them he told him to say morning and evening,“O God, I seek refuge in Thee from care and grief; I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity and slackness; I seek refuge in Thee from niggardliness and cowardice; I seek refuge in Thee from being overcome by debt and being put in subjection by men.”He said that when he did that God removed his care and settled his debt. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

‘Ali told of a slave who had made a contract with his master to pay for his freedom(1) coming to him and saying,“I am unable to fulfill my contract,* so give me help.”He suggested teaching him words he had been taught by God’s messenger, which would be so effective that if he had a debt as large as a huge mountain God would pay it for him, telling him to say,“O God, grant me enough of what Thou makest lawful so that I may dispense with what Thou makest unlawful, and make me able by Thy grace to dispense with all but Thee.”1. Mukatab. Although the term comes from the root meaning to write, the contract was not necessarily written. *Kitabati. While the word properly refers to something written, it is used for a contract whether written or not. Tirmidhi and Baihaqi, in [Kitab] ad-Da'awat al-kabir, transmitted it.

‘A'isha said that when God’s messenger sat in an assembly or prayed he spoke some words, so she asked him about them. Saying that they were,“Glory be to Thee, O God, and I begin with praise of Thee; there is no god but Thou; I ask forgiveness of Thee and turn to Thee in repentance,”he told her that if one speaks what is good this will act as a seal on his words till the day of resurrection, and that if one speaks what is evil this will act as an atonement for what he has said. Nasa’i transmitted it.

Qatada told of hearing that when God’s messenger saw the new moon he said,“A new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance. I believe in Him who created you”(three times). He would then say,“Praise be to God who has made such and such a month to pass and has brought such and such a month.”Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Ibn Mas'ud reported God’s messenger as saying that if anyone is afflicted by much care he should say,“O God, I am Thy servant, the son of Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid, and at Thy disposal; my forelock is in Thy hand; Thy judgment is effective regarding me; just concerning me is Thy decree; I ask Thee by every name Thou hast by which Thou hast called Thyself, or sent down in Thy Book, or taught any of Thy creatures, or kept to Thyself in the hidden place of the unseen, to make the Qur’an the Spring of my heart and the means of clearing away my care and grief.”He declared that no one had ever said it without God removing his grief and giving him joy instead of it. Razin transmitted it.
