Statement, which is a Treasure from the Treasures of Paradise


The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-said :

Shall I not inform you of a statement, which is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said: Yes O Messenger of Allaah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! He said: say:

لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

There is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah.
Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah

# Get your Minor Sins forgiven between Friday and the following Friday

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 13, Number 33:

Narrated Salman Al-Farsi: Allah’s Apostle (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said,

“Anyone who takes a bath on Friday and cleans himself as much as he can and puts oil (on his hair) or scents himself; and then proceeds for the prayer and does not force his way between two persons (assembled in the mosque for the Friday prayer), and prays as much as is written for him and remains quiet when the Imam delivers the Khutba, all his sins in between the present and the last Friday will be forgiven.”

O Allaah recompense me for my affliction and replace it with something better than that

The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-said:

There is no one from among Allaah’s servants, who is afflicted with an affliction except that he says: –

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ  اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Indeed, we belong to Allaah and indeed to Him is our return – O Allaah recompense me for my affliction and replace it with something better than that

Inna lil-lahi wa inna ‘ilayhi raji’oona, ‘allahumma’jurnee fee museebatee, wa ákhliflee khayran minha

Except that Allaah compensates him in what he has been afflicted with, and gives him that which is better than the previous thing.

Protect yourself from Shytan for the rest of the Day

When the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-would enter the Masjid he would say:

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

– I seek refuge with Allaah The Supreme and with His Noble Face, and His eternal authority from the accursed shaytaan –

A’outhu bil-lahil ‘atheem, wa bi-wajhihil-kareem, wa bi-sultanihil-qadeem min ‘ash-shayanir-rajeemi

Then he said: if he says this supplication then the shaytaan says: this person has been protected from me for the rest of the day.

Can you recite one third of the Qur’aan in one night?

Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
“The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to his Companions:
‘Could any one of you not recite one third of the Qur’aan in one night?’
They found the idea too difficult, and said, ‘Who among us could do that, O Messenger of Allaah?’
He said, ‘Allaahu’l-ahad, al- samad [i.e., Soorat al-Ikhlaas] is one third of the Qur’aan.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 4628)

Two Qualities of Slave of Allah which will make him enter Paradise

The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-said:

There are two characteristics or two qualities that if a Muslim slave of Allaah is continuous upon, will enter Paradise, they are simple but those who do them are few. To say SubhanAllaah at the end of every prayer ten times, says alhamdulillah ten times and says Allaahu akbar ten times, which is equivalent to 150 times on the tongue and 1500 on the scales. And he says Allaahu Akbar 34 times when he goes to bed and he says alhamdulillah 33 times and says SubhanAllaah 33 times, and that is equivalent to 100 on the tongue and 1000 on the scales.

Collected by Abu Dawud(5065), At-Tirmithi(3410) Nisa’i(926) and Ahmed(2/205) Imam An-Nawwawee graded the isnad of this hadeeth as being Saheeh and Imam At-Tirmithi said this hadeeth is Hasan Saheeh.
