“O Messenger of Allah, teach me a supplication that I may supplicate with in my Salat.” He said: “Say: ‘O Allah, I have wronged myself much, and none forgives sins except You. So forgive me with forgiveness from You, and have mercy upon me, indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful (Allahumma Inni Zalamtu Nafsi Zulman Kathiran Wa La Yaghfirudh-Dhunuba Illa Anta Faghfirli Maghfiratan Min Indika Warhamni Innaka Antal-Ghafurur-Rahim)”

“Al-Abbas came to the Messenger of Allah and it is as if he heard something, so the Prophet stood upon the Minbar and said: ‘Who am I?’ They said: ‘You are the Messenger of Allah, upon you be peace.’ He said: ‘I am Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Muttalib, indeed Allah created the creation, and He put me in the best group of them, then He made them into two groups, so He put me in the best group of them, the He made them into tribes, so He put me in the best of tribe, then He made them into houses, so He put me in the best of them in tribe and lineage.’”

the Prophet passed by a tree with dry leaves, so he struck it with his staff, making the leaves fall. Then he said: “Indeed, all praise is due to Allah, (Al-Hamdulillah)’ ‘glory to Allah, (Subhan Allah)’ none has the right to be worshipped by Allah, (La Ilaha Illallah)’ and ‘Allah is the greatest (Allahu Akbar)’ cause the sins to fall from the worshipper, just as the leaves of this tree fall.”
