[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying one night, reciting a verse repeatedly until he went into rukoo' (bowing) and sujood (prostration) with it. The verse was, "If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise." [Surah Al-Ma'idah: 118] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, you continue to recite this verse until morning?" He said, "Indeed, I asked my Lord for intercession for my Ummah (nation) and it was granted to those who do not associate anything with Allah."

البيهقي:٤٧١٧ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ إِمْلَاءً ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ الطَّلْحِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ كُلَيْبٍ الْعَامِرِيِّ عَنْ خَرْشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَهُوَ يُرَدِّدُ آيَةً حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ بِهَا يَرْكَعُ وَبِهَا يَسْجُدُ {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ} [المائدة 118] قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا زِلْتَ تُرَدِّدُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي الشَّفَاعَةَ لِأُمَّتِي وَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one night and recited a verse until he kneeled and prostrated with it, which says, "If you should punish them - indeed they are your servants; but if you forgive them - indeed it is you who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise" [Al-Ma'idah 118]. When morning came, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you continued to recite this verse until you kneeled and prostrated with it." He said, "Indeed, I asked my Lord for intercession for my Ummah (nation) and He granted it to me, and it is inclusive, if Allah wills, for those who do not associate anything with Allah."

أحمد:٢١٣٢٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنِي فُلَيْتٌ الْعَامِرِيُّ عَنْ جَسْرَةَ الْعَامِرِيَّةِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَقَرَأَ بِآيَةٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ يَرْكَعُ بِهَا وَيَسْجُدُ بِهَا {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة 118] فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قُلْتُ يَارَسُولَ اللهِ مَا زِلْتَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتَ تَرْكَعُ بِهَا وَتَسْجُدُ بِهَا قَالَ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي الشَّفَاعَةَ لِأُمَّتِي فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا
