Volume 8, Book 75, Number 343:
Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa’:
We went out with the Prophet to Khaibar. A man among the people said, “O ‘Amir! Will you please
recite to us some of your poetic verses?” So ‘Amir got down and started chanting among them, saying,
“By Allah! Had it not been for Allah, we would not have been guided.” ‘Amir also said other poetic
verses which I do not remember. Allah’s Apostle said, “Who is this (camel) driver?” The people said,
“He is ‘Amir bin Al-Akwa’,” He said, “May Allah bestow His Mercy on him.” A man from the People
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer.” When the people
(Muslims) lined up, the battle started, and ‘Amir was struck with his own sword (by chance) by him –
self and died. In the evening, the people made a large number of fires (for cooking meals). Allah’s
Apostle said, “What is this fire? What are you making the fire for?” They said, “For cooking the meat
of donkeys.” He said, “Throw away what is in the pots and break the pots!” A man said, “O Allah’s
Prophet! May we throw away what is in them and wash them?” He said, “Never mind, you may do
so.” (See Hadith No. 509, Vol. 5).
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 344:
Narrated Ibn Abi Aufa:
Whenever a man brought his alms to the Prophet, the Prophet would say, “O Allah! Bestow Your
Blessing upon the family of so-and-so.” When my father came to him (with his alms), he said, “O Al –
lah! Bestow Your Blessings upon the family of Abi Aufa.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 335:
Narrated Shaddad bin ‘Aus:
The Prophet said, “The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: ‘Allahumma anta
Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduka, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa Wa’dika mastata’tu abu’u
Laka bi ni ‘matika wa abu’u Laka bidhanbi; faghfirli fa’innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba ill a ant a.
A’uidhu bika min sharri ma sana’tu.’ If somebody recites this invocation during the night, and if he
should die then, he will go to Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he recites it
in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he will have the same fate.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 336:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Whenever the Prophet intended to go to bed, he would recite: “Bismika Allahumma amutu wa
ahya (With Your name, O Allah, I die and I live).” And when he woke up from his sleep, he would
say: “Al-hamdu lil-lahil-ladhi ahyana ba’da ma amatana; wa ilaihi an-nushur (All the Praises are for
Allah Who has made us alive after He made us die (sleep) and unto Him is the Resurrection). “

firudh-dhunuba illa anta, Faghfirli maghfiratan min indika war-hamni, innaka antalGhafur-
Rahim.”
