832. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Awfā narrated: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ, and said: 'I cannot seem to memorize anything from the Qur'ān, so teach me what will suffice me of it.' He replied: 'Say: "Subhān Allāh, wal-ḥamdulillāh, wa lā ilāha illallāh, wallāhu Akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāhil-'aliyyil-'azīm (Allāh is exalted, and [1] Meaning, hasty with their recitation, seeking the reward in the world by showing off, and not deferring means not seeking the reward of the Hereafter through their recitation. all praise be to Allāh, and none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, and Allāh is the Most Great), and there is no change nor power (to do anything) except with Allāh, the All-High, the All-Mighty).” The man said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, this is all for Allāh, so what is there for me?’ He said: ‘Say: “Allāhummarḥamni warzuqnī, wa ‘āfinī, wahdini (O Allāh! Have mercy on me, and provide me sustenance, and protect me and guide me).”’ When the man stood up (to leave), he motioned with his two hands (as if he were taking something from the Prophet ﷺ), so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘This person has indeed filled his hand with good.’” (Hasan)
