Narrated Malik ibn Yasar as-Sakuni, al-Awfi: The Prophet ﷺ said: When you make requests to Allah, do so with the palms of your hands, and not backs, upwards. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Sulaiman bin Abd al-Hamid said: according to us Malik bin Yasar was a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ.

One day when a man got up and spoke at length Amr ibn al-As said If he had been moderate in what he said: It would have been better for him. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: I think (or, I have been commanded) that I should be brief in what I say, for brevity is better.
Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: The Prophet ﷺ said: If a Muslim sleeps while remembering Allah, in the state of purification, is alarmed while asleep at night, and asks Allah for good in this world and in the Hereafter. He surely gives it to him. Thabit al-Bunani said: Abu Zabyah came to visit us and he transmitted this tradition to us from Muadh ibn Jabal from the Prophet ﷺ. Thabit said: So and so said: I tried my best to utter these (prayers) when I got up, but I could not do.
