Abû Hurayrah reports from the Prophet ﷺ [that he said], a man will remain [standing] between Paradise and the Fire, and he is the last of the inhabitants of the Fire to enter Paradise. He will say, my Lord! Turn my face away from the Fire. By Your Might I will not ask you for anything else besides this. Abû Saîd said that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said, Allâh, the Mighty and Magnificent says: to you is that and the likes of it ten times over. |
[The Prophet] Ayyûb said, by Your Might! I can never dispense of Your blessings. |

| The people will continue to be thrown into [the Fire] and it will keep saying, is there any more until the Lord of the Universe will place His Foot in it such that some of it will close in on the rest. Then it will say, enough! Enough by Your Might and Honour! Paradise will remain having room to accommodate more people until Allâh will bring forth a creation and make them to dwell in the excess space. |

| The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate at night saying, O Allâh! To You belongs all praise. You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth, to You belongs all praise. You are the Maintainer and Creator of the heavens and the earth and whosoever is in them. To You belongs all praise, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. Your saying is the truth, Your promise is the truth, the meeting with You is the truth, Paradise is true, Hellfire is true and the Hour is true. O Allâh! To You I have submitted, in You I have believed, upon You do I rely, to You I repent, with You I stand against all opposition and to You I go for judgement so forgive me all that I have done in the past, what I will do in the future, what I have kept secret and what I have openly shown. You are my god, there is none worthy of worship except for You. |

| We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. When we alighted a high place we would say the takbîr [loudly]. He said, be gentle to yourselves and do not go to such measures for you are not calling upon One Who is deaf or absent. Indeed you are calling upon One Who is All-Hearing, All-Seeing and close. Then he came to me while I was saying, there is no movement or power except with Allâh within myself. He said, O Abdullâh bin Qais! Say: there is no movement or power except with Allâh for it is a treasure from amongst the treasures of Paradise. Or he said, shall I guide you to [a treasure from amongst the treasures of Paradise]. |
