Hadith 830
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were reciting the Quran, and there were among us bedouins and the non-Arabs. He said: Recite, all is well. In the near future there will appear people who will straighten it (the Quran) as an arrow is straightened. They will recite it quickly and not slowly (or it means that they will get the reward in this world and not in the Hereafter).
Hadith 831
Sahl bin Saad al-Saeedi said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day came out to us while we were reciting the Quran. He said: Praise be to Allah. The Book of Allah is one, and among you are the red, and among you are the white and among you are the black. Recite it before there appear people who will recite it and straighten it as an arrow is straightened. They will get their reward for it in this world and will not get it in the Hereafter.

حَدَّثَنَا
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالَانِيِّ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا ، فَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ :قُلْ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَمَا لِي ؟ قَالَ : قُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي ، وَارْزُقْنِي ، وَعَافِنِي ، وَاهْدِنِي ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ ، قَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ مَلَأَ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I cannot memorise anything from the Quran: so teach me something which is sufficient for me. He said: Say Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is most great, and there is no might and no strength but in Allah.: He said: Messenger of Allah, this is for Allah, but what is for me? He said: Say: O Allah have mercy on me, and sustain me, and keep me well, and guide me. When he stood up, he made a sign with his hand (indicating that he had earned a lot). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He filed up his hand with virtues.
Hadith 833
Jabir bin Abdullah said: we used to offer supererogatory prayers and recite supplications while we were standing, and would glorify Allah while bowing and prostrating.
Hadith 834
حَدَّثَنَا
مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ
حُمَيْدٍ ، مِثْلَهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ التَّطَوُّعَ . قَالَ : كَانَ الْحَسَنُ " يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ إِمَامًا أَوْ خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ، وَيُسَبِّحُ وَيُكَبِّرُ وَيُهَلِّلُ قَدْرَ ق ، وَالذَّارِيَاتِ " .
The above-mention tradition has also been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Humaid, but he did not mention the word “Supererogatory prayer” This version has: Al-Hasan (al-Basri) would recite fatihat al-kitab in the noon and afternoon prayers while he led in prayer or he was behind the imam and would glorify Allah, and would repeatedly say: “Allah is most great” and “ There is no god but Allah” (i. e takbir and tahlil) equal to the amount one recites al-Qaf (Surah 50) and al-Dhariyat (surah 51).
