Wash away my sins with the water from snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all sins, as a white garment is cleansed from dirt, and let there be a great distance between me and my sins, as You made east and west far from each other.

If he remembers Me in himself I too remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go the distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.

Allah Akbar! (Allah is the Most Great), Lâ ilaha ill Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). " On that Allah's Messenger said (to them): " Lower your voices, for you are not calling a deaf and absent one, but you are calling the Hearer Who is near and is with you. " I was on the back of the mount of Allah's Messenger and he heard me saying: " Lâ hawla wala quwata illa billah (There is neither might, nor power but with Allah). " On hearing that he said to me: " O Abdullah ibn Qays! " I said: " Labbaik (Here I am) O Allah's Messenger! " He said: “ Shall I tell you a sentence that is one of the treasures of Paradise? " I said,: " Yes, O Allah's Messenger! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for your sake. ” He said: “ It is: ‘ Lâ hawla wala quwata illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with Allah) '.
