[Machine] I said to Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Show me a deed that Allah would benefit me with." He remained silent. I said again: "Show me a deed that Allah would benefit me with." He remained silent. I said again: "Show me a deed that Allah would benefit me with." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Whenever a servant prostrates to Allah, Allah raises him a degree and forgives him a sin with it.'" Ma'dan, and in another narration, Suwayd bin Abi Talhah, also narrated a similar Hadith from Abu Ad-Darda'.  

قُلْتُ لِثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي قُلْتُ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي قُلْتُ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً قَالَ مَعْدَانُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَنِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ السُّوسِيِّ وَحْدَهُ مَعْدَانُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ  

[Machine] I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and bring him water for ablution and fulfill his needs. He would then stand up at night and say, "Glory be to my Lord, and praise be to Him, glory be to my Lord, and praise be to Him, glory be to the Lord of the worlds, glory be to the Lord of the worlds." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "Do you have any need?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah, my only wish is to accompany you in Paradise." He asked, "Anything else?" I repeated, "O Messenger of Allah, my only wish is to accompany you in Paradise." He then said, "Then help me achieve this by increasing your prostrations."  

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَآتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ فَكَانَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ الْهَوَى سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الْهَوَى قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرَافَقَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ أَوَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرَافَقَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ  

[Machine] Abdullah bin Mas'ud said, "As long as you are in prayer, you are knocking at the door of the King, and whoever frequently knocks at the door of the King, it will be opened for him."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِنَّكَ مَا دُمْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْرَعُ بَابَ الْمَلِكِ وَمَنْ يُكْثِرْ قَرْعَ بَابِ الْمَلِكِ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ
