Abu Salam says that a man was passing by the mosque of Homs. People said that this person has served the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I got up and went to him and requested, "Tell me a hadith which you yourself have heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) directly, with no intermediary in between." He replied, "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Whoever, every morning and evening, says these words three times: 'I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad (peace be upon him) as my Prophet,' then it is Allah's responsibility to please him on the Day of Resurrection."
