Foreword

According to Mu’adh, the Prophet took his hand in his own and said, ‘O Mu’adh, by God, I love You.’ Then he said, ‘I give you this counsel: after each prayer, you must not omit to say, “O God, help me to remember You, and thank You, and worship You with devotion.” HADITH OF ABU DAWUD AND AN-NASA’I 186 Tariq ibn Ahyam relates that when anyone entered the fold of Islam, the Prophet would teach him to pray. Then he would instruct him how to invoke his Maker in these words: ‘O God, forgive me and have mercy on me. Give me prosperity and sustenance.’ HADITH OF MUSLIM.
