During the night an intruder entered and tried to steal from the charity. I caught hold of him and said, ‘I will take you to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,‘ but he pleaded saying, ‘I am in need, I have a large family and we are in great need.’ So I let him go. The next morning the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, asked me, ‘Abu Hurairah, what did your captive do last night?’ I answered, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, he pleaded telling me of the great need of himself and his family, so I took pity on him and let him go.’ The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said, ‘He lied to you; he will return.’ Therefore I knew that he would return as the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, had said so I kept watch for him. The thief returned again and started to steal from the charity once more. I said to him, ‘I shall take you to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him.’ But again he pleaded, ‘I am in need, I have a large family and we are in great need, let me go and I will not return.’ So again I took pity on him and let him go. The next morning the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said to me, ‘Abu Hurairah, what happened with your captive last night?’ I replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, he pleaded with me and told me of the great need of himself and his family, so I took pity on him and let him go.’ The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said, ‘He lied to you; he will return.’ So I watched for him a third time. Once again he returned and tried to steal from the charity. I caught him and said, ‘I shall take you to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, this is the third and final time. You promised you would not return yet you came back!’ He pleaded once more saying, ‘Let me go, and I will tell you some words which will be beneficial for you before Allah.’ I asked him, ‘What are they?’ He answered, ‘When you go to bed recite the verse of the Throne (Chapter 2. 255) because it will be your guardian with Allah, and satan is unable to approach you until the morning.’ So I let him go. The next morning the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, asked me, ‘What did you do with your captive last night?’ I answered, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, he said he would tell me some words which would be beneficial to me before Allah, so I let him go.’ He asked, ‘What are those words?’ I answered, ‘He told me that when I go to bed, to recite the verse of the Throne from beginning to the end. He told me that this would be my guardian with Allah, and that satan would be unable to approach me until the morning.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘This time he told you the truth, but he is a liar. Abu Hurairah, do you know with whom you spoke during these three nights?’ I answered, ‘No.’ The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, answered, ‘It was satan.’” Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

The first is Sura Al Fatihah (The Opener, Chapter 1) and the other is the last verses of Sura Al-Baqarah (The Cow :Chapter 2). Even if you recite just a word from them you will be recompensed.’" Muslim with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this. AL BAYYINA |H 452 “Allah, the Mighty, the Glorified, has ordered me to recite to you (Ubayy) the chapter 98, Al-Bayyina: The Proof.

Don't you know that which Allah has is better for the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him?’ She answered: ‘Indeed I know that which Allah has is better for the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, I cry because the Revelation has stopped coming down from the heaven.’ This moved the two and they began to cry with her.” Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related this hadith ABU BAKR IS INSTRUCTED TO LEAD THE PRAYER |H 454 “When the illness of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, became severe he was asked about the prayer so he said: ‘Tell Abu Bakr to lead the prayer.’ Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, overheard this and said: ‘Abu Bakr is very tender-hearted, he is sure to be overcome when he recites the Koran.’ The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, repeated: ‘Tell him to lead the prayer.’” We are also informed: “When Abu Bakr stands (to pray) in your place people will not be able to hear him because of his weeping.” Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Omar who related that Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said this. VIRTUES OF A GROUP RECITATION OF THE KORAN BLESSING OF GROUP RECITATION IN THE MOSQUE |H 1038 “Whenever people gather together in one of the Houses of Allah for the recitation of the Koran and teach it to one another, peace descends upon them, mercy covers them, and angels outspread their wings over them and Allah mentions them to those around Him.” Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

WHEN THE VICTORY OF ALLAH AND THE OPENING COMES |H 114 “Omar used to call ibn Abbas to his council along with the elders who had fought in the Battle of Badr. It seems some of them resented this and asked: "Why does he include him among us, our sons are his age." Omar told them: "He belongs to the source of your knowledge." One day he called me (ibn Abbas) to his council along with them and I felt that he had called me in order to expound this to them. He asked them: "What is the meaning of: 'When the victory of Allah and the opening comes.'" 110:1 Koran. Some of them said: ‘In this verse we have been commanded to praise Allah and supplicate for His forgiveness when He helps and gives us victory.’ Others remained quiet and said nothing. Then Omar asked me: ‘Do you say the same, ibn Abbas?’ I replied: ‘No.’ ‘Then what do you say?’ He asked. I replied: ‘When Allah said: When the victory of Allah and the opening comes and you see people embracing the Religion of Allah in throngs, exalt with the praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness from Him. For indeed, He is the Acceptor.' (110 Koran) It was an indication of the approach of death to the Prophet praise and peace be upon him‘. Omar said: ‘No one knows better than that you have said.’" Bukhari with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related this. THE SIGN |H 115 “After the Revelation of: 'When the victory of Allah and the opening comes.' The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, recited in every prayer: ‘Exalted are You, our Lord, and all the praise is Yours. Forgive me, O Allah.’ The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, repeatedly recited in his bowing and prostration: ‘Exalted are You, O Allah, our Lord, and all praise is due to You. Forgive me, O Allah.’ This was recited in accordance with the Koran. "Before his death the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, often recited: ‘Exalted are You and all praise is due to You, I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You.’ I (Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her) asked him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, what are these new words I hear you repeating?’ He replied: ‘A sign has been appointed for me concerning my nation and when I see that sign I should say it.’ 'When the victory of Allah and the opening comes, and you see people embracing the Religion of Allah in multitudes, exalt with the praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness from Him. For indeed, He is the Turner (for the penitent).' Ch.110" "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, often recited: ‘Exalted is Allah and His is all the praise. I seek the forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him.’ I said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, I have often heard you recite: ‘Exalted is Allah and His is all praise; I seek the forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him.’ He said: ‘My Lord told me that soon I would see a sign concerning my nation and that when I saw it I should exalt and praise Him, and ask His forgiveness and turn to Him. Now I have seen that sign.’ The victory and the opening of Allah was the opening of Mecca, and the sign was seeing people embrace the religion of Allah in large numbers." The order is: 'Exalt with the praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness from Him. For indeed, He is the Acceptor.'"
