To what extent is the hadith "No Muslim servant says when he awakens and when he retires, three times: 'I am content with Allah as Lord, and with Islam as a religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a Prophet,' except that it is a right upon Allah to make him content on the Day of Resurrection" authentic? And does it contradict the authentic hadith: "Whoever says: 'I am content with Allah as Lord, and with Islam as a religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as a Prophet,' Paradise is guaranteed for him"?
The authentic is that of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, which states that whoever is content with Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion, and Muhammad as his Prophet, Paradise is guaranteed for him. As for the Hadith narrated by the servant of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which states that whoever says this three times in the morning and in the evening, it becomes a right upon Allah to please him on the Day of Resurrection, it is not authentic due to the weakness of its chain of narration () because of the anonymity of Sabiq ibn Najiyah, around whom the Hadith revolves, and his lack of authentication in biographical works.
