138 — A similar report has been narrated from Ibn ʿAbbās. (1)

139 — Both Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim relate (2) that the Prophet ﷺ used to say after finishing the prayer: “lā ilāha illā Allāh wa lā naʿbudu illā iyyāh; lahu n-niʿmatu wa lahu l-faḍlu wa lahu th-thanāʾu l-ḥasan; lā ilāha illā Allāh mukhliṣīna lahu d-dīn wa law kariha l-kāfirūn” (“There is no god but Allah; we worship none but Him. His is the bounty, His is the grace, and His is the finest praise. There is no god but Allah; we devote our religion sincerely to Him, even though the disbelievers may loathe it”).

140 — This very wording is mentioned at the beginning of the same surah, where the Exalted says: “Those who disbelieved will be told, ‘The abhorrence of Allah for you is far greater than your own abhorrence of yourselves,’” up to His words, “So call upon Allah with sincere devotion, even though the disbelievers detest it” (Q 40:10-14).

Two kinds of supplication—whoever uses either of them has invoked Allah by His Greatest Name

141 — The Sunan collections record two forms of supplication, and it is said of each one that whoever prays with it has called upon Allah by His Greatest Name:

The first: “Allāhumma innī asʾaluka bi-anna laka l-ḥamd; anta llāhu l-mannān, badīʿu s-samāwāti wa l-arḍ, yā dhal-jalāli wa l-ikrām” (3).
