The explanation

What does Sunan Abi Dawud 1522 mean?

Narrated by Mu‘adh ibn Jabal, recorded by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa’i and Ahmad — and the setting is part of it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) took Mu‘adh by the hand and told him, “By Allah, I love you,” and then gave him this to say after every prayer. The three things asked for are the three that cannot be produced by resolve alone: remembering, thanking, and worshipping well.
