1350. It was narrated that Jasrah bint Dijâjah said: "I heard Abu Dharr say: The Prophet ﷺ stood reciting a Verse and repeating it until morning came. That Verse was: "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.""[1] (Hasan) [١١٨]
1350 - حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قُدَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ جَسْرَةَ بِنْتِ دَجَاجَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، يَقُولُ: «قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِآيَةٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ يُرَدِّدُهَا» وَالْآيَةُ: {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة: 118]

[1] Al-Mâ'idah 5:118.
a. If a person has only memorized a small part of Qur'ân, he may as well earn reward from Allâh for a long Qiyâm and recitation, through reciting again and again, the the small part that he remembers from the Qur'ân. b. The Verse quoted in the Hadith together with the preceding one, confirms the fact that the Prophet 'Eisa ﷺ was unaware of the deviations that had infiltrated into the system of beliefs of his people after his own self had been raised up in the heavens, since the Prophets have not been given the knowledge of the Unseen by Allâh. c The Verse quoted in the Hadith was in fact a supplication that the Prophet ﷺ had made to Allâh for his people. We also learn from this Hadith that we may recite any Verse of the Qur'ân appropriate to our situation, as a supplication, in order to invoke the mercy of Allâh.
