Once, he remained in this state for a while and then turned toward the qiblah, raised his hands and said: �O Allah, give us more and do not take away from us; honour us and do not humiliate us; grant us and do not deprive us; prefer us and do not prefer anyone over us; make us pleased and be pleased with us�. Then he said: �Ten verses have just been revealed to me; whoever practises them will enter the Garden�. He then read: (Successful indeed are the believers) up to the tenth verse� �. This was narrated by al-Hakim Abu �Abd Allah in his Sahih from Abu Bakr al-Qati'i from �Abd Allah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal> Ahmad ibn Hanbal from �Abd al-Razzaq.
