📌 Hadith 6326 – A Prayer Taught to Abu Bakr (RA)

Summary:
In this narration, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (رضي الله عنه) asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to teach him a suitable invocation (duʿāʾ) that he could recite during prayer (Salāh). The Prophet ﷺ taught him a sincere supplication expressing humility, repentance, and seeking Allah’s forgiveness — recognizing that one’s own wrongdoing is known only to Allah and asking Him for mercy because He alone forgives sins.

Explanation:
This hadith emphasizes the spirit of self-accountability and humility during worship. It teaches that even the righteous seek forgiveness from Allah, confessing their shortcomings before asking for His mercy. This invocation is a model of sincere repentance and devotion within prayer.

📌 Hadith 6327 – Guidance on How to Pray Duʿāʾ in Salāh

Summary:
This hadith explains that Allah revealed the Qur’anic verse instructing believers not to pray loudly or too quietly in prayer specifically regarding duʿāʾ (supplication) after the ritual elements of prayer are completed.

Explanation:
The instruction indicates a balanced, respectful manner of supplicating — neither loudly (which might distract others) nor too low (which might distract oneself). It highlights the correct etiquette for making duʿāʾ during prayer without disturbing others or neglecting personal humility.

📌 Hadith 6329 – A Simple but Powerful Practice After Every Prayer

Summary:
People asked the Prophet ﷺ why wealthy believers seem to attain higher spiritual success. The Prophet ﷺ advised a simple yet profound act:
After every prayer, recite 30 phrases of remembrance — Subḥān Allāh (Glory be to Allah) 10 times, Al-ḥamdu lillāh (All praise is due to Allah) 10 times, and Allāhu akbar (Allah is the Greatest) 10 times.

Explanation:
This teaches that spiritual elevation and closeness to Allah are not dependent on wealth, but on consistent remembrance of Allah. The formula given is easy, universal, and requires no special status — thus giving everyone the opportunity to attain goodness and spiritual rank.

📌 Hadith 6330 – Invocation After Salāh by the Prophet ﷺ

Summary:
This hadith records a supplication that the Prophet ﷺ used to say after finishing prayer:
Affirming that Allah has no partner, that all dominion and praise belong to Him, and expressing that none can prevent what Allah gives nor give what He prevents, and that worldly wealth and status cannot benefit in the presence of divine decree.

Explanation:
This invocation teaches complete reliance on Allah, recognizing His sovereignty, and acknowledging that power and provision are ultimately in His hands. It reminds the believer that worldly status (richness, influence) does not override divine will or true benefit.

📌 Hadith 6331 – Story with Lessons from Khaibar

Summary:
This narration relates an incident during the Battle of Khaibar where a companion recited poetry and the Prophet ﷺ commented on him with mercy. It also recounts aspects of conduct during the campaign, including a moment where the Prophet ﷺ instructed people not to cook certain prohibited meat, showing attention to lawful behavior even in wartime.

Explanation:
This hadith illustrates the Prophet’s ﷺ mercy, guidance in practical matters, and concern for lawful conduct. It shows how even in difficult circumstances (such as battle), believers are reminded to remain mindful of what Allah permits and forbids, and how the Prophet ﷺ dealt with people with compassion and instruction.
