The Prophet's Prayer From The beginning To The End As Though ...

6. He instructed 'Aa'ishah (radi Allaahu 'anhaa) to say:
"O Allaah! indeed I ask of You all Good, [the imminent and the far-off,] that of it which I know and that which I do not
know. I seek refuge with You from all Evil, [the imminent and the far-off,] that of it which I know and that which I do not
know. I ask of You (in one narration: O Allaah! indeed I ask of You) the Garden, and whatever saying or deed which brings
one near to it; I seek refuge with You from the Fire, and (from) whatever saying or deed which brings one near to it. I ask
of You (in one narration: O Allaah! indeed I ask of You) [the] good of what was asked of You by Your slave and messenger
[Muhammad; and I seek refuge with You from evil of what Your slave and messenger Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa
sallam) sought refuge with You]. [I ask of You] that whatever You have decreed for me, its result [for me] be beneficial. 270
7. He said to a man, What do you say during the prayer He replied, "I bear witness (i.e. do the tashahhud), then I ask Allaah
for the Garden, and I seek refuge with Him from the Fire. However, by Allaah, there is no murmuring 271 as good as yours or
that of Mu'aadh." So he said, Our murmuring is like yours. 272
8. He heard a man saying in his tashahhud:
"O Allaah! indeed I ask of You, O Allaah (in one narration: by Allaah), the One, the Only, the Absolute, Who begets not and
nor is He begotten, and there is none like Him, that You forgive me my sins; indeed You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.
On this, he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, He has been forgiven, he has been forgiven. 273
9. He heard another man say in his tashahhud:
"O Allaah! Indeed, I ask of You, by the fact that to You belongs all Praise; there is no (true) god except You, [You alone,
You have no partners;] the Bestower of Favours; [O] Originator of the Heavens and the Earth; O One that is Full of Majesty
and Honour; O Living One, O Eternal One; [indeed I ask of You] [the Garden, and I seek refuge with You from the Fire].
[So the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said to his Companions, Do you know with what he has supplicated They
said, "Allaah and His Messenger know best." He said, By Him in Whose Hand is my soul,] he has supplicated Allaah with His
Mighty (in one narration: Mightiest) name 274 , with which if He is supplicated, He answers, and with which if He is asked, He
gives. 275
10. One of the last things he would say between the tashahhud and the tasleem would be:
"O Allaah! Forgive me what I have done in the past, and what I will do in the future, and what I have concealed, and what I
have done openly, and what I have exceeded in, whatever You know about more know than I. You are the Bringer-
Forward, and You are the Delayer, there is no (true) god except You." 276
The Tasleem (Salutation Of Peace)
Next, "he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would salute to his right:
