اَللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

'Allahumma a'inni 'alaa dhikrika wa shukrika, wa husni 'ibadatika,'

At the time of departure, our beloved Nabi ﷺ mounted Sayyiduna Mu’adh رضي الله عنه on to a horse and himself walked along with him for a distance. Mu’adh felt embarrassed by this gesture and requested our beloved Nabi ﷺ to let him dismount and walk. As they walked our beloved Nabi ﷺ said to him, Deal with people with good character and well as giving other valuable advices and instructions on carrying out his duties as a governor.

Finally, our most beloved Nabi ﷺ said to him, “O Mu’adh! You may not find me here when you return. You may pass by my masjid and my grave.”

On hearing this, Sayyiduna Mu’adh رضي الله عنه began crying. Our beloved Nabi ﷺ was affected by his grief, he had to turn his face towards Madeenah and said then gave an amazing advice, “The people most closest to me are those with taqwa, no matter who they are and where they are”.
