[Machine] Qabisah ibn Mukhariq Al-Hilali came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and greeted him, to which the Prophet ﷺ returned the greeting and welcomed him. Then he asked him, "What brought you, O Qabisah?" Qabisah replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I have grown old, my skin has wrinkled, my strength has weakened, and I have become feeble regarding my family. I am unable to do things that I used to do before. Teach me some words that Allah may benefit me through them and make them concise." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Qabisah, say these words three times when you offer the Fajr (dawn) prayer: 'Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allahil Azim. Wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him, glory be to Allah the Most Great. There is no might nor power except with Allah).' If you say that, you will be safe, by the permission of Allah, from blindness, leprosy, and leucoderma." He also said, "Say, 'O Allah, guide me from You, bestow upon me Your favor, shower me with Your mercy, and send down upon me Your blessings.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite them and Qabisah would repeat them after him, folding his fingers.
