The excellence of remembering Allah
Narration
Tariq Al-Ashjaʿee said: ‘When someone would embrace Islam, the Prophet would teach him how to perform prayer and then order him to supplicate with the following words:
كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ عَلَّمَهُ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرِ لِي، وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي، وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي
Allāhumma ighfiri lī, wa irḥamnī, wa ihdinī, wa ʿāfinī wa irzuqnī
O Allah, forgive me, have mercy upon me, guide me, give me health and grant me sustenance.
