Advice of the Prophet (Sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) Once The Prophet Muhammad (Sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam) said to
Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu): “Do
five things before going to bed at
night, a. Give four thousand Dinars Sadqa, b. Read one complete Holy Quran, c. Pay the price for Janna'h, d. Make two people happy with each
other when they are upset and e. Perform one Hajj.” Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) said, "O
Prophet of Allah, this is very difficult
for me." The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) then said, a. “Read four times Surah Faatiha, and
you shall gain the Sawaab of giving
four thousand Dinars in charity, b. Read Surah Ikhlaas (Qul hu Allahu
Ahad) thrice, and you will gain the
Sawaab of reciting one Holy Quran, c. Recite Durood Shareef (Salawat)
thrice, and you will gain the Sawaab of
Jannah; d. Recite Astaghfirullah (Astaghfirullah
Rabbi min Qulli Zambyu Wa Aatubu
Ilaih) ten times, and you will gain the
reward of making peace between two
people fighting, and e. Recite the third Kalima
(Subhaanallahi Wal Humdu lillahi Wa
Laa Ilaha Ilal laahu Allahu Akbar Wa
Laa Hawla Wa laa Quwata Illa Bil laahil
Aliyil Azeem) four times and you will
gain the reward of making Hajj." On hearing these words, Hazrat Ali
(radi Allahu anhu) said: "As from this
day onwards, I will always follow this
practice."
