HOW TO SUPPLICATE WHEN PRAYING

1459

“One night I (Lady Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, the Mother of Believers) missed the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, from his bed so I felt about and found that he was either bowing or prostrating saying, ‘Exalted are You and Yours is the Praise, there is no god except You.’ My hand touched his feet while he was prostrating and his feet were erect as he supplicated, ‘O Allah I seek the protection of Your Pleasure against Your Anger, and the protection of Your Forgiveness against Your punishment and I seek refuge from You to You. I am incapable of counting Your praise. You are as You have described Yourself.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, Mother of Believers who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
