Jabir narrated the story of Muadh and said: The prophet ﷺ said to a youth: My nephew, what do you do in prayer? He replied: I recited fatihat al-katab and I ask Allah for paradise and seek his refuge from hell-fire I do not understand well your sound and the sound of Muadh. The prophet ﷺ said: I and Muadh go around both (paradise and Hell-fire), or he said something similar.
