When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he would seek forgiveness three times and say:

"O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, Possessor of majesty and honor."

al-Walid said: I said to al-Awzai, “How is the seeking of forgiveness?” He said: You say: I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ:

«اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ».

قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ: فَقُلْتُ لِلأَوْزَاعِيِّ: كَيْفَ الاِسْتِغْفَارُ؟ قَالَ: تَقُولُ: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “(1) Purification is half of faith; (2) al-ḥamdu lillāh (All praise is due to Allah) fills the scale; (3) subḥān Allāh  (Glory be to Allah) and al-ḥamdu lillāh fill what is between the skies and the earth; (4) prayer is nur (light); (5) charity is a proof; (6) patience is illumination; (7) and the Quran is an argument for you or against you.”

“Every person goes out in the morning; one sells his own self and thereby either frees it or ruins it.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «(١) الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ، (٢) وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ، (٣) وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ» أَوْ «تَمْلأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، (٤) وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ، (٥) وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ، (٦) وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ، (٧) وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ۔»

«كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا»۔

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The reward for prayer performed by a person in congregation is more than twenty times greater than that of the prayer performed in one’s house or the marketplace. When one performs wuḍūʾ perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of performing prayer, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and one of his sins is eliminated until he enters the mosque."

"And when he enters the mosque, he is considered as performing prayer as long as it is the prayer which stops him ˹from leaving the mosque˺; and the angels keep on supplicating Allah for him as long as he remains in his place of prayer. They say: ‘O Allah! Have mercy on him; O Allah! forgive his sins; O Allah! accept his repentance.' ˹This continues, so long as he does cause harm ˹upon anyone˺ in it, or pass wind in it ˹breaking his wuḍūʾ˺ (in a different wording: or speak ˹to anyone˺).”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «صَلاَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَزِيدُ عَلَى صَلاَتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَصَلاَتِهِ فِي سُوقِهِ بِضْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ لاَ يَنْهَزُهُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ لاَ يُرِيدُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةَ، فَلَمْ يَخْطُ خَطْوَةً إِلاَّ رُفِعَ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةٌ وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ، حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ»،

«فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ مَا كَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ هِيَ تَحْبِسُهُ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مَا دَامَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ، يَقُولُونَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ، مَا لَمْ يُؤْذِ فِيهِ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ فِيهِ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined Ẓuhr and ʿAsr ˹prayers˺ and the Maghrib and Isha ˹prayers˺ in Madinah without being in a state of fear, nor due to rain. It was asked of Ibn ʿAbbās: What did he intend by that?. He said: He wanted that his Ummah does not experience any hardship.

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلاَ مَطَرٍ۔ قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: أَرَادَ أَنْ لاَ يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ۔

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ – and I do not know whether something was Revealed down upon him or he used to say, "If the son of Adam owned two valleys, he would certainly wish for" or "certaintly want a third valley. And nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except the dirt ˹of the grave˺, yet Allah turns to whoever repents."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ – فَلَا أَدْرِي أَشَيْءٌ أُنْزِلَ أَوْ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ –: «لَوْ أَنَّ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَيْنِ مِنْ مَالٍ لَتَمَنَّى» أَوْ «لَابْتَغَى وَادِيًا ثَالِثًا۔ وَلَا يَمْلَأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا التُّرَابُ، وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ۔»

[AI] “In Rajab there is a day and a night: whoever fasts that day and stands in prayer that night will be like one who has fasted for a hundred years and stood in prayer for a hundred years. It is when three days remain of Rajab, and in it Allah, the Exalted, sent Muhammad.”

"فِي رَجَب يَوْمٌ وَلَيلَةٌ، مَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ، وَقَامَ تِلْكَ اللَّيلَةَ كانَ كمَنْ صَامَ مِن الدَّهْرِ مائَةَ سَنَةٍ، وَقَامَ مائَةَ سَنَةٍ، وَهُوَ لثَلاثٍ بَقينَ من رَجَبٍ وَفيه بَعَثَ اللهُ تَعَالى مُحَمَّدًا".
