Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (Radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, “Blessing (barakah) is with your elders/ seniors.” Explanation: Elders refers to those who are experienced and punctual on good actions. Remain in their company so that you can follow their advices and attain guidance through emulating their ways. (Faydul Qadir, Hadith :3205)
قال أبو العتمر أرى أن أنس بن مالك حدثنا أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول اللهم إني أعوذ بك من صلاة لا تنفع (سنن أبي داود رقم1549)
Hazrat Anas رضي الله عنهreports that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم recited the following Dua:
اَللهم إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ
O Allah! I seek Your protection from the salaah that does not yield any benefits.
