Q: In the book “Key to the Garden of Bliss (Jannat Ki Kunji)” Sahban ul Hind, Hazrat Maulana Ahmed Saeed Dehlwi RA, has quoted the following hadith:
Hazrat Abduallah bin Umar RA says that the Prophet SAW has said that whatever a man asks Allah on reciting the following will be given, one thousand virtues are written in his record and he is advanced one thousand stages, while Allah appoints 70,000 angels for him to pray for his forgiveness till the day of judgment. The phrases are : Alhamdu lilla hillazi tawazoa kullu shai in bi azmatihi wal hamdu lilla hillazi zalla kullo shai-in liizzatihi walhamdu lillahillazi khazoa kullo shai-in li mulkehee walhamdu lilla-hil lazi istaslama kullo shai-in li-qudratihi
