It is reported that Muḥammad
[Ibn Sīrīn] – Allāh have mercy him – said:
We were once in the house of ʿAlqamah b. Qays. Rabīʿ
b. Kuthaym entered upon us and
sat in a corner of the house. Then he said, “Speak only a little except for nine
things: subḥānallāh, al-ḥamdulillāh, lā ilāha illallāh, Allāhu ʾakbar, reciting the Qurān,
enjoining good,
forbidding wrong,
asking Allāh for what is good and
seeking His protection from harm (evil).”
Hannād b. Al-Sarīy, Al-Zuhd #1108.
