1. We were told by Abu Nasr, Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Tamim al-Sarakhsi, the Jurist, in it [1], that he said: We were told by Abu Lubaid, Muhammed bin Idrees al-Shami, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Muhajir al-Baghdadi, that he said: We were told by Isma’eel bin Ibrahim, that he said: I was told by Hareeri, from Abu’l-Ward bin Tamama, from Lajlaj, from Mu’adh bin Jabal, that he said: I was with the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and a man passed by whilst saying: «O Allah, I ask You for patience». Then the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: You have asked for affliction, so ask Allah for comfort. He, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, also passed by whilst he was saying: «O Allah, I ask you for the perfection of the grace.» Then he said: (O) Son of Adam, and do you know what the perfection of the grace is? (It is) Salvation from the Fire and entrance to Paradise. He, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, passed by a man whilst he was praying and saying: «O the One of Glory and Generosity». Then he said to him: «It has been responded to you, so ask.»
