Narrated to me Ahmad ibn Sa'id ibn Sakhr al-Darimi, narrated to us Habban, narrated to us Hammad, from Thabit, from Anas, that he said: The 'Isha' prayer was commenced, and a man said, "I have a need."

One day they spoke about that, and some of them said, "Take a bell like the bell of the Christians," and some said, "A horn like the horn of the Jews."

If he heard the call to prayer, he would hold back; otherwise, he would raid. Then he heard a man saying: "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He is upon the natural disposition." Then the man said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah."

Then ask Allah for al-Wasilah for me, for it is a station in Paradise which is fitting only for one of Allah's servants, and I hope that I will be that one. Whoever asks for al-Wasilah for me, intercession becomes permissible for him."

I am content with Allah as Lord, and with Muhammad as Messenger, and with Islam as religion' — his sin will be forgiven."
