عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((يَا مُعَاذُ! إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ)) فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ أُحِبُّكَ، قَالَ: ((فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولُهُنَّ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ: اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ))
Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met me and said: O Mu’adh! Verily, I love you. I replied: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I also love you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I advise you with a few words; you must recite them after every prayer. They are: “O Allah! Help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner.”
