Mu`adh (bin Jabal) (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) held my hand and said, "O Mu`adh, By Allah, I love you and advise you not to miss supplicating after every Salat (prayer) saying: `Allahumma a`inni `ala dhikrika wa shukrika, wa husni `ibadatika, (O Allah, help me remember You, expressing gratitude to You and worship You in the best manner)".[Abu Dawud and An-Nasai].
Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith the following: 1. It is commendable to inform those whom one loves for Allah's sake, of this love. 2. The superiority of Mu`adh. 3. It is commendable to say this Du`a after each obligatory Salat. 4. It is commendable to seek Allah's Help in order to discharge one's duties towards Allah in the best possible manner.
