Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I am unable to learn the Qur'an, so teach me a supplication that will suffice me in its place." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Recite this: 'In the name of Allah (I begin my work seeking blessing), all praise is due to Allah alone, there is no deity except Allah, Allah is the Greatest.'" The man said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is for Allah, what will be for me?" (After this, the narrator mentioned the rest of the hadith as previously stated).
