Hadith: Kuraib reported that Ibn `Abbas spent a night in the house of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and he said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stood near the water-skin and poured water out of it and performed ablution in which he neither used excess of water nor too little of it, and the rest of the hadith is the same, and in this mention is also made (of the fact) that on that night the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) made supplication before Allah in nineteen words. Kuraib reported: I remember twelve words out of these, but have forgotten the rest. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allahumma aj’al li fi qalbi nooran, wa fi lisaani nooran, wa fi sam’i nooran, wa fi basari nooran, wa min fawqi nooran, wa min tahti nooran, wa ‘an yameeni nooran, wa ‘an shimaali nooran, wa min bayni yadayya nooran, wa min khalfi nooran, waj’al fi nafsi nooran, wa a’zim li nooran. —Sahih Muslim 1797
Explanation: The Hadith states that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prayed to Allah to lighten his heart, tongue, hearing, and eyes. So that he can spread the message of Allah in this world, especially to the non-believers.
