Hadith record

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah would plea for protection seventy times everyday and turn to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, seventy times everyday.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘Would he say, I plea for protection (forgiveness) from Allah and turn to Him?’ The Imam said, ‘He would say, “I plea for protection (forgiveness) from Allah, I plea for protection from Allah,” seventy times. And would say, ‘I return to Allah, I return to Allah,’ seventy times.’”
