Mu’adh bin Jabal narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of my hand and said: “O Mu’adh, by Allah, I love you, by Allah, I love you.” Then he said: “I advise you, O Mu’adh, do not fail to say after every prayer: O Allah, help me to remember You, to give You thanks, and to perform Your worship in the best manner (Allāhumma a‘innī ‘alā dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusni ‘ibādatik).” (Abu Dawud 1522, Sahih by Albani)
