part one
thirty-first hadith (31)
Ab¬ Hurayra said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God give him blessings and
peace, say:
God, ever mighty and majestic is He, says: “I have divided the
Prayer 14 into two halves between Me and My servant, and My
servant shall have that for which he asks.”
When the servant says: “Praise be to God, Lord of the universes”,
God says: “My servant has praised Me.”
When he says: “The All-Compassionate, the Most Merciful”,
God says: “My servant has repeated My praises.” 15
When he says: “Sovereign King of the Day of Judgement”, God
says: “My servant has glori¥ed Me” – and once the Prophet said – “My
servant has given himself over to Me.”
When he says: “It is You whom we adore and You whom we
ask for help”, God says: “This is between Me and My servant, and
My servant shall have that for which he asks.”
When he says: “Guide us along the straight path, the path of
those to whom You have bestowed Your Favour, not of those who
have incurred wrath, nor of those who go astray”, God says: “This
belongs to My servant, and My servant shall have that for which
he asks.”
