4 Priceless Gems

“Whoever does 4 things is fortunate in this world and in the Hereafter.

1. Reciting Laa ilaaha illallaah Muhammadur-Rasoolullaah; Inna lillaahi wa inaa ilaihi raaji’oon when any mishap befalls them;
2. saying la hawla wa laa quwwata illa billahil ‘azeem – alhumdulillahi rabbil alameen when any gift is bestowed upon them;
3. saying bismillahir-rahmaanir-raheem when beginning any work; and
4. saying astaghfirullahil ‘azeem wa atoobu ilayhi when any sin is noticed.”

[‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin al-Aas]
