Beautiful Dua: "Distance me from sins as the distance between East & West"

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make these supplications:

"O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of Hell-Fire; and from the torment of Hell-Fire; and from the trial of the grave and torment of the grave; and from the evil of the trial of the affluence and from the evil of the trial of poverty and I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of the turmoil of the Dajjal.
O Allah, wash away my sins with snow and hail water, purify my heart from the sins as is purified the white garment from the dirt, and keep away at a distance the sins from me as the distance between the East and the West;
O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from laziness, from senility (feeble old age), from sin, and from debt."

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say:

"O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from laziness, from cowardice, from senility (feeble old age), from miserliness, and I seek refuge in Thee from the torment of the grave and from trial of the life and death."

[Sahih Muslim]

"you are not calling One who is deaf or absent"

Abu Musa reported: We were along with Allah's Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey when the people began to pronounce Allahu-Akbar in a loud voice. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S.) said:
"O people, show mercy to yourselves for you are not calling One Who is deaf or absent. Verily, you are calling One Who is All-Hearing (and) Near to you and is with you."

According to another report, he (the Holy Prophet) said: "He Whom you are supplicating is nearer to every one of you than the neck of his camel."

[Sahih Muslim]

Allah thinks of you, when you think of Him

Allah says:
I live in the thought of My servant when he thinks about Me, and I am with him, when he remembers Me And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in the assembly, better than he (does that), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.

[Sahih Muslim]

The skin of the Prophet's feet cracked...

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (SAWS) would stand (in prayer) so long that the skin of his feet would crack. I asked him, "Why do you do this while your past and future sins have been forgiven?'' He said, "Should I not be a grateful slave of Allah?''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: The more one is rewarded by Allah, the greater the proportion of one's gratitude of Allah for His Benevolence should be. The best form of doing so is that one should not only be highly obedient and dutiful in the performance of the obligations but also add maximum voluntary prayers to them.

Be like a brick...

Allah's messenger SAWS said:
A believer is like a brick for another believer, the one supporting the other.
[Sahih Muslim]

The similitude of believers in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.
[Sahih Muslim]

Even when you stumble upon the road, your sins are forgiven

When this verse was revealed: "Whoever does evil will be requited for it", and when this was conveyed to the Muslims they were greatly upset.

Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Be moderate and stand firm in trouble that falls to the lot of a Muslim (as that) is an expiation for him; even stumbling on the path or the prickin of a thorn (are an expiation for him)."

[Sahih Muslim]

If you're the first one to abuse some one...

Allah's messenger SAWS said

When two persons indulge in hurling (abuses) upon one another, it would be the first one who would be the sinner so long as the oppressed does not transgress the limits.

[Sahih Muslim]
