**Tuba Seven Times!**
Narrated by Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Tuba for the one who sees me and believes in me, and Tuba seven times for the one who did not see me and believes in me." Narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad.
• Tuba: It is the name of Paradise or a tree in it, and it is said to represent a good state and a pleasant life.
Whenever I hear this hadith, my love for the Prophet ﷺ increases, as he made a supplication for me seven times even though he does not know me or my situation and shortcomings.
This supplication is not because I am better than those who saw him, but rather because I am weaker than them. I need the supplication for success, steadfastness, and peace of heart in a time when trials have multiplied, afflictions have increased, knowledge has diminished, and sincere, advising friends are rare. So, O Allah, send peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family, keep us steadfast on his Sunnah, and unite us with him in the Gardens of Bliss.
