Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had seated him on his mount. When he (the Prophet) sat upright on the mount, he said“Allahu Akbar”three times,“Alhamdulillah”three times, and“La ilaha illallah”once. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) leaned back on it and smiled. After that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards me and said: Whoever mounts his ride and does as I have done, Allah Almighty turns towards him and looks at him and laughs, just as I have turned towards you and laughed.
