H a d i t h

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times: As'alullahal- `Azima Rabbal-`Arshil- `Azimi, an yashfiyaka (I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you), Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi] .


Commentary: There is always a great certainty that Allah will respond to a supplication which springs from a sincere, veracious heart. One should, therefore, pray for a patient with full conviction and reassurance of heart. Moreover, the Prophet's prayers have special effect and grace and therefore their original wordings should be uttered.

Hadith

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"The uttering of the words:
"Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection) ,
Al-hamdu lillah (all praise is due to Allah),
La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah) and
Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)'
is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises.''

[Muslim].

Hadith

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallaho anha) reported about Surat Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112): The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.''

According to another version, he (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said to his Companions, "Is anyone of you incapable of reciting one-third of the Qur'an in one night?'' They considered it burdensome and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which of us can afford to do that?'' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Surat Al-Ikhlas [Say: He is Allah (the) One] is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.''

[Al-Bukhari]


Commentary:
One reading of Surat Al-Ikhlas has return and reward equal to the recitation of one-third of the Qur'an. This Surah mentions the Oneness of Allah. This is enough to make one realize how much Allah (SWT) likes the recitation and remembrance of His Oneness. This is the reason, He has declared Shirk (polytheism) an absolutely unpardonable sin.

The Prophet (s.a.w) said: " I have never seen a more horrible sight than that of the grave. " (Ibn Maja, Al Termizi)

[raiazlan]

The Prophet (s.a.w) said: " The grave is the first stage of the hereafter. If a person is saved from its torment, then what comes after it is really easy. If one is not saved from it, what follows is really severer ." (Ibn Maja)
