The Book of Dhikr (Remembrance of Allâh), Ad-Du'â (Invocations), At-Tauba (Repentance to Allâh) and Al-Istaghfâr (Allâh's forgiveness)

Narrated Abû Huraira رضى الله عنه : The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh says, 'I am just as My slave thinks. I am, (i.e. I am Able to do for him what he thinks, I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.'" ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 502, Vol. 9)

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh has ninety-nine names, i.e., one hundred less one, and whoever counts them (believes in their meanings and acts accordingly) will enter Paradise: And Allâh تعالى is Witr (One) and loves Al-Witr (i.e., odd numbers). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 894, Vol. 3, also see Hadîth No. 419, Vol.8)

Anas Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "When anyone of you appeal to Allâh for something, he should ask with determination and should not say: 'O Allâh, if You wish, give me,' for nobody can force Allâh تعالى to do something against His Will." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 350, Vol. 8 )

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should say: 'O Allâh, forgive me if You wish; O Allâh, be Merciful to me if You wish,' but he should always appeal to Allâh with determination, for nobody can force Allâh تعالى to do something against His Will." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 351, Vol. 8 )

Anas Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should long for death because of a calamity that had befallen him, and if he cannot, but long for death then he should say, 'O Allâh! Let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me.'" ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 362, Vol. 8)

Qais Narrated from:

I came to Khabbâb who had been branded with seven brands over his abdomen, and I heard him saying, "If the Prophet ﷺ had not forbidden us to invoke (Allâh) for death, I would have invoked (Allâh) for it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 361, Vol. 8)

'Ubadah bin As-Samit Narrated from:

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever loves to meet Allâh, Allâh (too) loves to meet him, and whoever hates to meet Allâh, Allâh (too) hates to meet him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 514, Vol. 8)

Abu Musa Narrated from:

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever loves the meeting with Allâh, Allâh (too), loves the meeting with him; and whoever hates the meeting with Allâh, Allâh (too) hates the meeting with him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 515, Vol. 8)

Narrated Abû Huraira رضي الله عنه : The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allâh تعالى says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am Able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I, too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' " ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 502, Vol. 9)

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh has some angels who are on the lookout for those who remember (glorify the Praises of) Allâh. And when they find some people remembering, (glorifying the Praises of) Allâh, they call each other, saying, 'Come to the object of your pursuit.' " (He صلى الله عليه وسلم added), "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the nearest heaven to us (sky of the world)."(He added) "[After those people remembered (glorified the Praises of) Allâh, and the angels go back)], their Lord (Allâh عزوجل) asks them (those angels) — though He knows better than them — 'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhân Allâh, Allâhu Akbar, and Alhamdu-lillâh, and they glorify you.Allâh then says, 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allâh, they didn't see You.' Allâh says, 'How it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and remember You (glorify Your Praises) more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.'Allâh says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angels reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allâh says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allâh, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allâh says, 'How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek it, with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.'Allâh says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allâh says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allâh, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allâh says, 'How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.' Then Allâh says, 'I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.' "(Allâh's Messenger ﷺ added,) "One of the angels would say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just come for some need.' Allâh would say, 'These are those people whose companions will not be reduced to misery.' "( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 417, Vol. 8)
