5. Hadith
5.1 It was narrated that Anas bin Malik (رضي الله عنه) said: "The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) heard a man say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ
He (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: 'He has asked Allah by His Greatest Name which, if He is asked thereby He gives and if He is called upon thereby He answers'."
(Sunan Ibn Majah 3858)
5.2 Narrated Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه): I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and a man was offering prayer. He then made supplication:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) then said: He has supplicated Allah using His Greatest Name, when supplicated by this name, He answers, and when asked by this name He gives.
(Sunan Abi Dawud 1495)
5.3 Narrated Sa'd (رضي الله عنه): The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) supplicated Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) for rain saying,
اَللَّهُمَّ جَلِّلْنَا سَحَابًا, كَثِيفًا, قَصِيفًا, دَلُوقًا, ضَحُوكًا, تُمْطِرُنَا مِنْهُ رَذَاذًا, قِطْقِطًا, سَجْلًا, يَا ذَا اَلْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ
(Bulugh al-Maram Book 2, Hadith 452)
5.4 Anas (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said:
أَلِظُّوا بِيَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3525)
5.5 Anas bin Malik (رضي الله عنه) said: Whenever a matter would distress him, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) would say:
يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ
And with this chain, that he said: “The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said:
أَلِظُّوا بِيَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3524)
5.6 Thawban (رضي الله عنه), the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), narrated that: When he finished the prayer, the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) would ask for forgiveness three times (أستغفر الله) and say:
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ
'O Allah, You are the source of Peace (or the One free from all faults) and from You comes Peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor."
(Sunan an-Nasa'i 1337)
5.7 Muaz (رضي الله عنه) said that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passed by a man who was saying:
“O Allah, I ask you for all of the blessing.”
He asked the man whether he knew what all the blessing meant and he said that it meant admittance to paradise and safety from Hell.
Then the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passed by another man who was saying:
“O Allah! I ask you for patience”.
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said to him, "You have asked your lord for trial and difficulty over yourself. So, now ask him also for safety (Aafiyah)".
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) then came across a third man who said:
“O Owner of Majesty and Splendor!”.
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said to him, "Make a request!" (because you have called Allah by this great attribute).
(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad Book 1, Hadith 122)
5.8 Abu Musa (رضي الله عنه) reported: Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said,
"It is out of reverence to Allah in respecting an aged Muslim, and the one who commits the Qur'an to memory and does not exaggerate pronouncing its letters nor forgets it after memorizing, and to respect the just ruler".
(Riyad as-Salihin Book 1, Hadith 354)
5.9 Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam (رضي الله عنه): I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) saying after his prayer:
"O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that Thou art the Lord alone Who hast no partner; O Allah, Our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that Muhammad is Thy servant and Thy apostle ; O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that all the servants are brethren; O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everything make me sincere to Thee, and my family too at every moment, in this world and in the world hereafter, O Possessor of Glory and Honour, listen to me and answer. Allah is incomparably Great. O Allah, Light of the heavens and of the earth".
The narrator Sulaiman b. Dawud said:
"Lord of the heavens and of the earth, Allah is incomparably great. Allah is sufficient for me; and the excellent guardian is He; Allah is incomparably Great."
(Sunan Abi Dawud 1508)
5.10 Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: “One night, when he exited his Salat, I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) saying:
‘O Allah, I ask You of Your mercy, that You guide by it my heart, and gather by it my affair, and bring together that which has been scattered of my affairs, and correct with it that which is hidden from me, and raise by it that which is apparent from me, and purify by it my actions, and inspire me by it with that which contains my guidance, and protect me by it from that which I seek protection, and protect me by it from every evil. O Allah give me faith and certainty after which there is no disbelief, and mercy, by which I may attain the high level of Your generosity in the world and the Hereafter.
O Allah, I ask You for success [in that which You grant, and relief] in the Judgment, and the positions of the martyrs, and the provision of the successful, and aid against the enemies. O Allah, I leave to You my need, and my actions are weak, I am in need of Your mercy, so I ask You, O Decider of the affairs, and O Healer of the chests, as You separate me from the punishment of the blazing flame, and from seeking destruction, and from the trial of the graves.
O Allah, whatever my opinion has fallen short of, and my intention has not reached it, and my request has not encompassed it, of good that You have promised to anyone from Your creation, or any good You are going to give to any of Your slaves, then indeed, I seek it from You and I ask You for it, by Your mercy, O Lord of the Worlds. O Allah, Possessor of the strong rope, and the guided affair, I ask You for security on the Day of the Threat, and Paradise on the Day of Immortality along with the witnesses, brought-close, who bow and prostrate, who fulfill the covenants, You are Merciful, Loving, and indeed, You do what You wish.
O Allah, make us guided guiders and not misguided misguiders, an ally to Your friends, an enemy to Your enemies. We love due to Your love, those who love You, and hate, due to Your enmity those who oppose You. O Allah, this is the supplication (that we are capable of), and it is upon You to respond, and this is the effort (that we are capable of), and upon You is the reliance. O Allah, appoint a light in my heart for me, and a light in my grave, and light in front of me, and light behind me, and light on my right, and light on my left, and light above me, and light below me, and light in my hearing, and light in my vision, and light in my hair, and light in my skin, and light in my flesh, and light in my blood, and light in my bones.
O Allah, magnify for me light, and appoint for me a light. Glory is to the One who wears Glory and grants by it. Glory is to the One for Whom glorification is not fitting except for Him, the Possessor of Honor and Bounties, Glory is to the Possessor of Glory and Generosity, Glory is to the Possessor of Majesty and Honor’
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3419)
5.10 `Ikrimah, the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas (رضي الله عنهم), narrated that: Ibn `Abbas said: “We were with the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) when `Ali bin Abi Talib came to him, and he said: ‘May my father and mother be ransomed for you! This Qur’an has suddenly left my heart, and I do not find myself capable of it.’ So the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said to him: ‘O Abul-Hasan! Should I not teach you words that Allah shall benefit you with, and benefit whomever you teach, and they will make whatever you have learned in your chest firm?’ He said: ‘Of course, O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), so teach me.’
He (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said: ‘When it is the night of (before) Friday, then if you are able to stand in the last third of the night, then verily it is a witnessed hour, and supplication is answered in it. And my brother Ya`qub (عليه السلام) did say to his sons: I shall seek forgiveness for you from my Lord. He said: “Until the night of Friday comes.” So if you are not able, then stand in the middle of it, and if you are not able then stand in the first of it. And pray four Rak`ah. Recite Fatihatul-Kitab (the Opening of the Book) and Surat Ya-Sin in the first Rak`ah, and Fatihatul-Kitab and Ha-Mim Ad-Dukhan in the second Rak`ah, and Fatihatul-Kitab and Alif Lam Mim Tanzil As-Sajdah in the third Rak`ah, and Fatihatul-Kitab and Tabarak Al-Mufassal in the fourth Rak`ah. So when you have finished with the Tasha-hud, then praise Allah and mention Allah’s greatness in an excellent manner, and send Salat upon me – and be excellent in it – and upon the rest of the Prophets. And seek forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women, and for your brothers who have preceded you in faith. Then say in the end of that:
“O Allah, have mercy on me by abandonment of sins forever, so long as You keep me remaining. And have mercy on me from taking upon myself what does not concern me, and provide me good sight for what will make You pleased with me. O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Possessor of glory, and generosity, and honor that is not exceeded. I ask you, O Allah, O Rahman, by Your glory and the light of Your Face, to make my heart constant in remembering Your Book as You taught me, and grant me that I recite it in the manner that will make You pleased with me. O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Possessor of glory, and generosity, and honor that is not exceeded. I ask You, O Allah, O Rahman, by Your glory and the light of Your Face, to enlighten my sight with Your Book, and make my tongue free with it, and to relieve my heart with it, and to expand my chest with it, and to wash my body with it. For indeed, none aids me upon the truth other than You, and none gives it except You, and there is no might or power except by Allah, the High, the Magnificent."
O Abul-Hasan! So do this three Fridays, or five, or seven, you will be answered – by the will of Allah – by the One Who sent me with the Truth, it has not failed a believer once.’” `Abdullah bin `Abbas said: “So, by Allah, `Ali did not wait but five or seven until [`Ali] came to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) in a gathering similar to that and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), indeed I was [a man] in the time that passed, who used to not take except four Ayat or about that much, so when I would recite them to myself they would suddenly depart from me, and today I learn forty Ayat or about that much, and when I recite them to myself, then it is as if the Book of Allah is before my eyes. I used to hear a Hadith and when I would repeat it, it would suddenly depart from me, and today I hear Ahadith, and when I report them, I do not err in a single letter.’ So the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said at that point: ‘A believer, by the Lord of the Ka`bah, O Abul-Hasan.’”
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3570)
5.11 It was narrated from Muhammed bin 'Abdullah bin Zaid (رضي الله عنه) that his father said that: The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) was thinking of a horn, and he commanded that a bell be made and it was done. Then 'Abdullah bin Zaid (رضي الله عنه) had a dream. He said: "I saw a man wearing two green garments, carrying a bell. I said to him, 'O slave of Allah, will you sell the bell?' He said; 'What will you do with it?' I said, 'I will call (the people) to prayer.' He said, 'Shall I not tell you of something better than that?' I said, 'What is it?' he said, 'Say:
Allah is The Most Great, Allah is The Most Great; Allah is The Most Great, Allah is The Most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'
'Abdullah bin Zaid (رضي الله عنه) went out and came to the Messenger of Allah, and told him what he had seen. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), I saw a man wearing two green garments carrying a bell," and he told him the story. The Messenger of Allah said,
"Your companion has had a dream. Go out with Bilal (رضي الله عنه) to the mosque and teach it to him, for he has a louder voice than you."
I ('Abdullah) went out with Bilal to the mosque, and I started teaching him the words and he was calling them out. 'Umar Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) heard the voice and came out saying, "O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم)! By Allah, I saw the same (dream) as him."
Abu 'Ubaid said: Abu Bakr Al-Hakami told me that 'Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Ansari (رضی الله عنهم) said concerning that:
'I praise Allah, the Possessor of Majesty and Honor, A great deal of praise for the Adhan.Since the news of it came to me from Allah, So due to it, I was honored by the information. During the three nights. Each of which increased me in honor.'
(Sunan Ibn Majah 706)
(Sunan an-Nasa'i 1337)
5.7 Muaz (رضي الله عنه) said that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passed by a man who was saying:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَمَامَ النِّعْمَةِ
He asked the man whether he knew what all the blessing meant and he said that it meant admittance to paradise and safety from Hell.
Then the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) passed by another man who was saying:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الصَّبْرَ
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said to him, "You have asked your lord for trial and difficulty over yourself. So, now ask him also for safety (Aafiyah)".
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) then came across a third man who said:
يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said to him, "Make a request!" (because you have called Allah by this great attribute).

5.8 Abu Musa (رضي الله عنه) reported: Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said,
إن من إجلال الله تعالى إكرام ذي الشيبة المسلم، وحامل القرآن غير الغالي فيه، والجافي عنه وإكرام ذي السلطان المقسط
(Riyad as-Salihin Book 1, Hadith 354)
5.9 Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam (رضي الله عنه): I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) saying after his prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ أَنَا شَهِيدٌ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ أَنَا شَهِيدٌ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ أَنَا شَهِيدٌ أَنَّ الْعِبَادَ كُلَّهُمْ إِخْوَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ اجْعَلْنِي مُخْلِصًا لَكَ وَأَهْلِي فِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ اسْمَعْ وَاسْتَجِبِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُالأَكْبَرُ اللَّهُمَّ نُورَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ
The narrator Sulaiman b. Dawud said:
رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الأَكْبَرُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُالأَكْبَرُ

اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي أَبَدًا مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَارْحَمْنِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَا لاَ يَعْنِينِي وَارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي اللَّهُمَّ بَدِيعَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ وَالْعِزَّةِ الَّتِي لاَ تُرَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَنُ بِجَلاَلِكَ وَنُورِ وَجْهِكَ أَنْ تُلْزِمَ قَلْبِي حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي اللَّهُمَّ بَدِيعَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ وَالْعِزَّةِ الَّتِي لاَ تُرَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَنُ بِجَلاَلِكَ وَنُورِ وَجْهِكَ أَنْ تُنَوِّرَ بِكِتَابِكَ بَصَرِي وَأَنْ تُطْلِقَ بِهِ لِسَانِي وَأَنْ تُفَرِّجَ بِهِ عَنْ قَلْبِي وَأَنْ تَشْرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرِي وَأَنْ تَغْسِلَ بِهِ بَدَنِي لأَنَّهُ لاَ يُعِينُنِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ غَيْرُكَ وَلاَ يُؤْتِيهِ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
O Abul-Hasan! So do this three Fridays, or five, or seven, you will be answered – by the will of Allah – by the One Who sent me with the Truth, it has not failed a believer once.’” `Abdullah bin `Abbas said: “So, by Allah, `Ali did not wait but five or seven until [`Ali] came to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) in a gathering similar to that and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), indeed I was [a man] in the time that passed, who used to not take except four Ayat or about that much, so when I would recite them to myself they would suddenly depart from me, and today I learn forty Ayat or about that much, and when I recite them to myself, then it is as if the Book of Allah is before my eyes. I used to hear a Hadith and when I would repeat it, it would suddenly depart from me, and today I hear Ahadith, and when I report them, I do not err in a single letter.’ So the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said at that point: ‘A believer, by the Lord of the Ka`bah, O Abul-Hasan.’”
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3570)
5.11 It was narrated from Muhammed bin 'Abdullah bin Zaid (رضي الله عنه) that his father said that: The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) was thinking of a horn, and he commanded that a bell be made and it was done. Then 'Abdullah bin Zaid (رضي الله عنه) had a dream. He said: "I saw a man wearing two green garments, carrying a bell. I said to him, 'O slave of Allah, will you sell the bell?' He said; 'What will you do with it?' I said, 'I will call (the people) to prayer.' He said, 'Shall I not tell you of something better than that?' I said, 'What is it?' he said, 'Say:
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ حَىَّ عَلَى الْفَلاَحِ حَىَّ عَلَى الْفَلاَحِ . اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ
'Abdullah bin Zaid (رضي الله عنه) went out and came to the Messenger of Allah, and told him what he had seen. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم), I saw a man wearing two green garments carrying a bell," and he told him the story. The Messenger of Allah said,
إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ قَدْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فَاخْرُجْ مَعَ بِلاَلٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَلْقِهَا عَلَيْهِ وَلْيُنَادِ بِلاَلٌ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْدَى صَوْتًا مِنْكَ
I ('Abdullah) went out with Bilal to the mosque, and I started teaching him the words and he was calling them out. 'Umar Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) heard the voice and came out saying, "O Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم)! By Allah, I saw the same (dream) as him."
Abu 'Ubaid said: Abu Bakr Al-Hakami told me that 'Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Ansari (رضی الله عنهم) said concerning that:
أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَذَا الإِكْرَامِ حَمْدًا عَلَى الأَذَانِ كَثِيرًا إِذْ أَتَانِي بِهِ الْبَشِيرُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَكْرِمْ بِهِ لَدَىَّ بَشِيرًا فِي لَيَالٍ وَالَى بِهِنَّ ثَلاَثٍ كُلَّمَا جَاءَ زَادَنِي تَوْقِيرًا
(Sunan Ibn Majah 706)
