Imâm az-Zuhrî (the famous tâbi’î, d.124H) said,

“The people of knowledge who came before us used to say, ‘Salvation lies in clinging to the Sunnah.’”

[Reported by ad-Dârimî in his Sunan (no. 96).]

Ibn Qudâmah (d. 620 A.H.) said,

“The way of the Salaf is to have îmân (faith) in the Names and Attributes of Allâh that He has described Himself with in His Revelation, or upon the tongue of His Messenger (sallâ Allâh ‘alayhi wa sallam), without increasing nor decreasing in it, nor exceeding the limits, nor explaining them (i.e. like the Mu’tazilah), nor making ta’wîl of them in a way that opposes the dhâhir (apparent) meaning.”

[Dhamm ut-Ta'wîl of Ibn Qudâmah al-Maqdisî, p. 11]

اللهم رب الناس اذهب الباس اشفي انت الشافي
لا شفاء الا شفاءك شفاء لا يغادر سقما

Allâhumma Rabb an-nâs, mudhhib al-ba’s ishfi anta ash-Shâfi,
lâ shâfiya illâ anta, shifâ’an lâ yughâdir saqaman

(O Allâh, Lord of mankind, the One Who relieves hardship, grant healing,
for there is no healer but You, a healing that leaves no trace of sickness)

‘Abdullah b. Mas’ûd – Allah be pleased with him – said:

“The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it might fall on him, while the sinner (fâjir) sees his sins as a fly that lands on his nose, he just waves it away.”

Al-Bukhârî, Al-Sahîh, The Book of Supplications, Chapter on Tawbah.

The Mother of the Believers, Juwayriya bin al-Harith (radiya Allahu ‘anhu) reported,

“The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Are you still in the same position as I left you?”
I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are:

Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi ‘adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinata ‘arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi

[Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)].”

[Muslim]

Hadrat Zayd bin ‘Arqam (radiya Allahu ‘anhu) narrated that RasuluLlah (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Whoever says la ilaha illa Allah (there is no (true) god, except Allah) sincerely will enter the Paradise.”

It was said: And what is the [sign of] sincerity? He said: “That this kalima stops him from those things which Allah has forbidden.” (al-Tabarani in Awsat al-Kabir)

Hadrat Jabir (radiya Allahu ‘anhu) narrated that RasuluLlah (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“For the person who recites subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi [Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise], a date palm will be planted for him in Paradise.” (al-Tirmidhi)

Another Narration says:

Narrated hadrat Abu Hurayra (radiya Allahu ‘anhu): RasuluLlah (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Whoever says, subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi [Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise] one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. (al-Bukhari, Book 75, Hadith no. 414)

Hadrat Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (radiya Allahu ‘anhu) narrated that RasuluLlah (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Should I not tell you of one treasure of the unlimited treasures of Paradise?” I replied spontaneously “Ya RasulaLlah that would be an honour indeed!” RasuluLlah (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said “That rare treasure is la hawla wa la quwwata illa biLlah.” (“There is no Might or Power except with Allah”) [Ibn Maja]

Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand Hasanat (rewards) a day?” Someone from the gathering asked, “How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanat?” Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying “Subhan Allah” and good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away.” (Muslim, 4:2073)
