    سَمِـعَ سـامِعُ بِحَمْـدِ اللهِ وَحُسْـنِ بَلائِـهِ عَلَيْـنا. رَبَّنـا صـاحِبْـنا وَأَفْـضِل عَلَيْـنا عائِذاً باللهِ مِنَ النّـار
     
    Sami’a saami’un bihamdillaahi wa husni balaa’ihi ‘alaynaa. Rabbanaa saahibnaa, wa ‘afdhil ‘alaynaa ‘aa’ithan billaahi minan-naar.
     
     
    Muslim 4/2086, the meaning of sami’a saami’un (who listens has heard) is that ‘a witness has witnessed our praise of Allah due to His blessings and favor upon us.’ It could also be read samma’a saami’un, in which case it means ‘one who has heard this statement of mine will convey it to another and he will say it as well.’ This is due to the attention given to the Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and supplications made during the early morning hours.
     
    The meaning of his saying ‘Our Lord, be with us and bestow Your favor upon us’ is: ‘Our Lord, protect us and guard us. Bless us with Your numerous bounties, and avert from us every evil.’ See An-Nawawi,  Sahih Muslim

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said, “The people of Hell will call on Malik for forty years, and he will not answer them. Then he will respond and tell them that they are to abide therein. By Allah, their cries will mean nothing to Malik or to the Lord of Malik. Then they will call on their Lord and will say,

     

    (Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people. Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be wrongdoers.) ﴿23:106-107﴾ Allah will not answer them for a time span equivalent to twice the duration of this world. Then He will reply:

     

    (108. He (Allah) will say [to the disbelievers] : “Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”)

     

    By Allah, the people will not utter a single word after that, and they will merely be in the Fire of Hell, sighing in a high and low tone. Their voices are likened to those of donkeys, which start in a high tone and end in a low tone.”

     

    Then Allah will remind them of their sins in this world and how they used to make fun of His believing servants and close friends:

     

    (109. Verily, there was a party of My servants who used to say: “Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!”) (110. But you took them for a laughing stock, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance while you used to laugh at them!) meaning, `you made fun of them for calling on Me and praying to Me and your hatred for them made you forget what I would do to you.

     

    Then Allah tells us how He will reward His friends and righteous servants, and says:

     

    (111. Verily, I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful.)

     

    I have caused them to attain the victory of joy, safety, Paradise and salvation from the Fire.’
