The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from four things: Knowledge which does not profit, a heart which is not submissive, a soul which has an insatiable appetite, and a supplication which is not heard." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1548)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَقَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ  

[Machine] The translation of the above sentence is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought refuge from knowledge that does not benefit, supplication that is not answered, a heart that does not humbly fear Allah, and a soul that is never satisfied."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَقَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ»  

“Whoever asks for Paradise, three times, Paradise will say: “O Allah, admit him to Paradise.” And whoever asked to be saved from Hell, three times, Hell will say: “O Allah, save him from Hell.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4340)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلَاثًا قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ تَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلَاثًا قَالَتِ النَّارُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِذْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ  

l heard 'Umar bin al-Khattab say: When the Revelation came down to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a sound could be heard near his face like the buzzing of bees. We waited a while, then he turned to face the qiblah and raised his hands, then he said: “O Allah, give us more (blessing) and do not give us less; honour us and do not humiliate us, give to us and do not deprive us, give precedence to us and do not give others precedence over us; be pleased with us and make us pleased.” Then he said: “Ten verses have been revealed to me; whoever adheres to thern will enter Paradise.” Then he recited to us: “Successful indeed are the believers” [al-Mu'minoon 23:1] until he completed the ten verses. (Using translation from Aḥmad 223)   

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ كَانَ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الْوَحْيُ نَسْمَعُ عِنْدَ وَجْهِهِ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا فَسَكَتْنَا سَاعَةً فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنَا وَلَا تَنْقُصْنَا وَأَكْرِمْنَا وَلَا تُهِنَّا وَأَعْطِنَا وَلَا تَحْرِمْنَا وَآثِرْنَا وَلَا تُؤْثِرْ عَلَيْنَا وَارْضَ عَنَّا وَأَرْضِنَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ مَنْ أَقَامَهُنَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ} [المؤمنون 1] حَتَّى خَتَمَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ هَذَا كَانَ عَمُّهُ وَالِيًا قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي عَمِّي إِلَى يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ حَتَّى أَمْلَى عَلَيَّ أَحَادِيثَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah is too merciful to be ashamed to turn away the hands of His servant empty-handed."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَسْتَحِي مِنَ الْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْهِ فَيَرُدَّهُمَا خَائِبَتَيْنِ»  

He saw the Messenger of Allah at Ahjar Az-Zait praying for rain and raising his hands, making supplications. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1514)   

أَنَّهُ «رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ يَدْعُو وَهُوَ مُقَنَّعٌ بِكَفَّيْهِ»  

[Machine] I did not see the Prophet ﷺ waving his hands while calling from his pulpit or otherwise. Rather, he would raise his two fingers towards his shoulders and then make supplication.  

«مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَاهِرًا يَدَيْهِ يَدْعُو عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ وَلَا غَيْرُهُ كَانَ يَجْعَلُ أُصْبُعَيْهِ بِحِذَاءِ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَيَدْعُو»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "One, One." This Sunnah has been narrated from Saad ibn Abi Waqqas.  

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَحَدٌ أَحَدٌ» قَدْ رُوِيَتْ هَذِهِ السُّنَّةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while I was supplicating by pointing with two fingers of mine. He said: Point with one finger; point with one finger. He then himself pointed with the forefinger. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1499)   

عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِي وَأَنَا أَدْعُو بِأُصْبُعَيَّ فَقَالَ «أَحَدٌ أَحَدٌ» وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, used to keep his hands extended in supplication, and would not retract them until he wiped his face with them." And it has been narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا مَدَّ يَدَيْهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ لَمْ يَرُدَّهُمَا حَتَّى يَمْسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهِهِ» وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you ask Allah, ask Him with the palms of your hands and do not ask Him with the backs of them, and wipe your faces with them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ بِبُطُونِ أَكُفِّكُمْ وَلَا تَسْأَلُوهُ بِظُهُورِهَا وَامْسَحُوا بِهَا وُجُوهَكُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. And whoever is hindered by his deeds will obtain it when he stops doing them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا كَثُرَ لَغَطُهُمْ فِيهِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ ثُمَّ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ «هَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْبُخَارِيَّ قَدْ عَلَّلَهُ بِحَدِيثِ وُهَيْبٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ كَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ فَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ» وَلِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ شَوَاهِدُ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ وَأَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ
