910. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to a man: 'What do you say during your Salât?' He said: 'The Tashah-hud, then I ask Allâh for Paradise, and I seek refuge with Him from Hell, but I do not understand what you and Mu'âdh murmur (during Salât). He said: 'Our murmuring revolves around the same things.'" (Sahih)
910 - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لِرَجُلٍ «مَا تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» قَالَ: أَتَشَهَّدُ، ثُمَّ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَكَ، وَلَا دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ، فَقَالَ: «حَوْلَهَا نُدَنْدِنُ»

The perception prevailing among the Sufis (Mystics) that they only do their deeds for the love of Allâh and not out of desire for Paradise, or the fear of Hell, is not right. Here is the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, the most beloved and nearest slave of Allâh, the best informed person about the rights of Allâh on His creatures on the one hand, and about the most appropriate manners of paying homage to Allâh on the other. And yet he never tires of praying to Allâh for admittance to Paradise and salvation from Hell. Paradise, it must be remembered, is a synonym of the bounties of Allāh. It is Paradise where the believers shall have the greatest bliss of looking at their Lord. Therefore, any hint of turning away from Paradise, is turning away from nearness to Allāh, which is the very antithesis of love for Allāh. Similarly, the feeling of fearlessness from Hell is the feeling of fearlessness from the wrath of Allāh, which is not a trait befitting a true believer.
