Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

DU’A (SUPPLICATION) AT DAWN

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that every night when one third of it remains, ALLAAH descends to the lowest heavens and says: I will answer anyone who calls me: I will bestow unto anyone who asks me: I will pardon anyone who seeks my pardon and forgiveness. [Al-Adabul Mufrid]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Religion is simple but if anyone tries to excel in it by sheer rigidity (and over activity) it will repel him. So be straightforward, remain close to it and bear tidings. Utilize a part of the morning and evening as also the later part of the night. [Zikrullah]

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying that if anyone sits is an assembly where much time was spent in useless and sinful talks and says before getting up to leave.

                                      

Glory be to thee, O ALLAAH and I begin with praise of Thee, I testify that there is no God but Thou; I ask Thy pardon and turn to Thee in repentance, he will be forgiven for what took place in that assembly where he was. [Tirmizi, Ma’rif -ul- Hadis]

Hadrat Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’S messenger as saying that if anyone says three times while going to bed.

             

(I ask the forgiveness of ALLAAH other than whom there is no God the Living, the Eternal and I turn in repentance to Him) ALLAAH will forgive him his sins even if they are like the foam of the sea or in number like the sand that is accumulated, or as many as the leaves of the trees, or as numerous as the days of this world.[Tirmizi, Ma’rif -ul- Hadis]
