Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: "مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، فِي يَوْمٍ مِئَةَ مَرَّةٍ، كَانَتْ لَهُ عِدْلَ عَشْرِ رِقَابٍ، وَكُتِبَتْ لَهُ مِئَةُ حَسَنَةٍ، وَمُحِيَتْ عَنْهُ مِئَةُ سَيِّئَةٍ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ حِرْزًا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُمْسِي، وَلَمْ يَأْتِ أَحَدٌ بِأَفْضَلَ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ عَمِلَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ".
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things capable,' one hundred times in a day, it will be equivalent for him to freeing ten slaves, one hundred good deeds will be written for him, one hundred bad deeds will be erased from him, and it will be a protection for him from Shaytaan on that day until evening. No one will come with anything better except one who has done more than this."
