A slave committed a sin and said: O Allah, forgive my sin, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said: My slave committed a sin and realized that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins Whoever says "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him" one hundred times, his sins will be unloaded from him, even if they were as much as the foam of the sea Whoever says, ten times: There is no god but Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the praise, and He is Omnipotent over all things; will be as though he emancipated four slaves from the offspring of Isma‘īl The reward of repeating after the Adhān (prayer call) Mu‘āwiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came upon a group of people sitting in a circle in the mosque, and he asked them: "What made you sit together?" They replied: "We are sitting together to remember Allah." Shall I not inform you of the best of your deeds which are the most praiseworthy in the sight of your Lord The Mufarridūn have gone ahead I met Ibrahīm on the Night of Ascension and he said to me: "O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your nation, and tell them that Paradise has pure soil and sweet water. It is a vast plain land and its seedlings are: glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greatest." No people leave a gathering in which they did not remember Allah, the Almighty, except that it will be as if they are leaving the carcass of a donkey, and it will be a cause of regret for them Has Allah not given you something to give as charity? Every utterance of "glory be to Allah" is charity; every utterance of "Allah is the Greatest" is charity; every utterance of "praise be to Allah" is charity; and every utterance of "there is no god but Allah" is charity O Messenger of Allah, Indeed, the laws of Islam are too many for us, so give us something comprehensive that we can hold on to. He said: Keep your tongue moist with the frequent remembrance of Allah, Exalted and Glorified O people, seek repentance from Allah and seek His forgiveness. Verily, I seek repentance one hundred times a day Shall I inform you about the most beloved words by Allah? They are: Glory belongs to Allah and praise is due to Him By the One in Whose hand my soul is, if you were not to commit sins, Allah would replace you with people who would commit sins and then seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty, who would then forgive them Allah, the Almighty, says: I am with My slave as long as he remembers Me and his lips move saying My Name Allah does not listen as attentively to anything as He listens to a prophet with a melodious voice A number of Hadīths pertaining to the virtue of Dhikr sessions When you hear the Muezzin, say what he says and then invoke Allah's blessings upon me That is Satan who is known as Khinzab. If you perceive his effect, seek refuge with Allah from him and spit three times to your left The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand by the trunk of a date-palm tree while delivering the sermon. When a pulpit was placed in the mosque, we heard the trunk crying out like a pregnant she-camel until the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came down from the pulpit and placed his hand over it and it became quiet. The lasting good deeds are the statements: There is no god but Allah, glory be to Allah, Allah is the greatest, praise be to Allah, there is no power or might except with Allah Never does the son of Adam do any deed that can save him from Allah's punishment more than remembering Allah By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in Dhikr, the angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzhalah, time and time
