[Machine] He used to pray and would say in his supplication, "O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and I ask You for its blessings and joy, and for this and for that, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and its chains and shackles, and from this and from that." Saad remained silent after that. After he finished praying, Saad said to him, "You sought refuge from a great evil and asked for great blessings, or he said, a long life." Shu'bah doubted and said, "I do not know whether this is Saad's statement or the statement of the Prophet ﷺ." Saad said to him, "Say, O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and whatsoever brings one close to it in word and deed, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and whatsoever brings one close to it in word and deed."
