Riyad-us-Saliheen 1433 Juwayriyah r.a narrated: “The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم left her house one morning when he prayed Fajr, and she was in her prayer place, then he came back after the forenoon and she was still sitting there. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Are you still as you were when I left you?”. She said: “Yes”. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “After I left you, I said four words (ie: this Dua) three times, which if they were weighed against what you have said today, they would outweigh it”.
