“I was sleeping at the side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I lost him during the night. So I felt around for him, and my hand fell upon his feet while he was prostrating, and he was saying: ‘I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your pardon from Your punishment. I cannot count Your praises. You are as You have praised Yourself (Aʿūdhu biriḍāka min sakhaṭika wa bi muʿāfātika min ʿuqūbatika, lā uḥṣi thanā’an ʿalaika anta kamā athnaita ʿalā nafsik).’”

One night I missed Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the bed, and when I sought him my hand touched the soles of his feet while he was in the state of prostration; they (feet) were raised and he was saying:" O Allah, I seek refuge in Thy pleasure from Thy anger, and in Thy forgiveness from Thy punishment, and I seek refuge in Thee from Thee (Thy anger). I cannot reckon Thy praise. Thou art as Thou hast lauded Thyself."
