Narrated under the authority of Abi A`ayash that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said one who say in the morning La ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul molk, walahu lhamd wa howa a`ala kol shaye-en qadeer, shall receive equal reward of freeing a slave of the children of Ismail, ten good deeds (hasanat) shall be recorded for him, ten sins shall be eliminated off him, shall be elevated ten ranks and shall be protected against shaytan till the evening. If he say this in the evening shall receive the same till the morning. A man saw the Messenger of Allah in a vision (while sleeping) and told him that Abi A`ayash is quoting you say so and so, he said Abu A`ayash said the truth. (reported by Ahmed)
When i first heard of the above hadith i was simply blown away to learn that such an act that is sooo simple can be sooo rewarding....
Perhaps one of the great things is that the few ahadith that muslimah quoted is not all there are many more...
Insha allah i hope that this thread wets the appetite of the muslims who read it so that they may be motivated to go further and learn of more ways to benefit...
I urge all those who read this thread (Myself first) to go to the quraan, authentic hadith and consensus of the 'uluma to gain knowledge of these other <i>"cheap alternatives"</i> (this is a really cool name hahaha i like it) and to <b>PRACTICE IT IN OUR LIVES</b>
may we all benefit from this thread and may i please make a call for all others who know of hadith on this topic to post more...I would really like to know more insha allah
wa salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
