CHAPTER 8 The secrets of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa 's Acceptance of Prayers 146 below. I seek shelter in Your greatness lest any hidden hardship touches me from below. " 24 Hadrat Ab u Um a mah B a hil i ra relates that once we asked the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa , "You have offered so many prayers and we are unable to remember all of them. " He replied, "I teach you only one comprehensive prayer which you should remember. " The prayer is: ّٰ َّ اَﻟﻠ ﻬُﻢ ْاِﻧَّﺎ َ ﻧَﺴ ْﺎَﻟُک َﻣِﻦ ِْ ﺧ َ ري ْﻣَﺎﺳَﺌَﻠَک ُِ ﻣِﻨ Vَﻧ ُّ َ ﻴ َّک ّٰحمَُﻤَّﺪﺻَ َُ اﻟﻠ َﻠ ْ ِ ﻴ ْوَﺳَﻠَّﻢَ، َ وَﻧَﻌُﻮ ْذُﺑِک ﻣِﻦ ْﺷَﺮِّﻣَﺎ َ اﺳ ْﺘَﻌَﺎذ ُِ ﻣِﻨ Vَﻧ ُّ َ ﻴ َّک ّٰحمَُﻤَّﺪﺻَ َُ اﻟﻠ َﻠ ﻴ َ ◌ِْوَﺳَﻠَّﻢ َ وَاَﻧ ُْﺖ ْ امل ُ ﺴ َﺘَﻌَﺎن َﻠَو ْ َ ﻴ ْک ُ اﻟ ﺒَﻼَغ. "O All a h, we seek all those blessings and good things from You which Your Prophet sa sought from You and we seek refuge from all those things from which Your Prophet sa sought refuge. You are the only One from Whom help is solicited, so it is essential to pray to You. " 25 Hadrat Mu‘ a dh bin Jabal ra relates that once Holy Prophet Muhammad sa arrived so late for the Fajr prayers that the sun was about to rise. Zak a t led a short S al a t and told us to sit down at our places. Then he addressed us and said "I want to inform you about the reason for my late arrival for S al a t. I got up for Tahajjud , offered as much prayer as I could. While offering the prayer I dozed off, when my eyes opened I saw my Lord in a most beautiful manifestation.
