From the Sunnah
Spread greeting As-Salamu Alaikum (peace be upon you); the Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “You will not enter Paradise until you believe and you will not believe until you love each other. Should I not direct you to a thing which, if you do, will foster love amongst you, spread greeting among your selves; As-Salamu Alaikum.” [Reported by Muslim]
2- When feeling pain in your body: “Place your hand at the place where you feel pain in your body and say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times and seven times A'udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear).” [Reported by Muslim]
3- If he saw something he liked and feared that he may envy it. The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If someone of you saw something relate to his brother, or his own self or his money, and he admired it, he should invoke blessing to it, because envy is fact” [Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Majah and declared authentic by Al-Albani]. This could be by saying invocations such as; O Allah, bless it to him, or may Allah bless it for you.
4- Performing the emphasized supererogatory prayers in the house: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “You should pray in your houses, for the best prayer of a person is that which he prays in his house except the compulsory prayers” [Reported by Al-Bukhari].
And it is narrated on the authority of Zaid Ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of your prayers are which you perform in your houses except the compulsory prayers” [Reported by At-Tirmidhi and declared authentic by Al-Albani].
5- Performing Duha prayer, supererogatory fasts and Witr: It is narrated that Abu Huraira said: “My dear companion recommended me to do three (acts), and I would never abandon them (And these three acts are): to observe three fasts during every month, not to abandon two rakahs of Duha prayer and I should not sleep till I have observed Witr prayer.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
6- Making the supererogatory two rakahs of dawn prayer light: It is narrated that ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) used to lighten the two rakahs which are before Dawn prayer so that I would say; ‘did he recite the Mother of the Book (i.e. Al-Fatiha)?’” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
7- Using the Siwak before prayer: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Were I not afraid that it would be hard on my followers, or people, I would have ordered them to use the Siwak (as obligatory, for cleaning the teeth) at each prayer.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
8- Trimming the moustache: It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Omar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Trim the moustache, and let the beard grow.” [Reported by Muslim]
9- Observing Witr prayer daily: It is narrated that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) prayed Witr then said: “O people of Qur’an, pray Witr (i.e. uneven prayer), because Allah is Witr (i.e. Uneven) loves Witr [Reported by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah and declared authentic by Al-Albani]
10- Reciting Surat Al-Kafirun and Surat Al-Ikhlas: This is in the supererogatory prayer that is before Fajr prayer [Reported by Muslim and Abu Dawud],
and the supererogatory prayer that is after Maghreb prayer [Reported by An-Nasa’I and declared Hasan (good) by Al-Albani],
11- Hastening the breaking of the fast: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The people will continue to be in a good state as long as they hasten the breaking of the fast.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
12- To say at feeling solicitude and strait: “O Allah! I seek refuge with You from having worries, sadness, helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other persons unjustly.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
Transliteration: Allahuma Ini ‘A’dhu Bika Minal Ham wal Hazan, WAl “ajzi Wal Kasal, Wal Bukhli Wal Jubn, WA Dil’I Ad-Day Wa Ghalabatil Rijal.
13- Seeking refuge for the kids from every evil: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) used to seek Refuge with Allah for Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain: “I seek Refuge (for you) with the Perfect Words of Allah, from every devil and vermin and from every evil, harmful, envious eye.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
Transliteration: ‘A’uthu Bikalimati Lahi A-Tama, Min Kuli Shaytanin Wa Hama, Wa Min Kuli ‘Aynin Lama.

Sutrah at congregational prayer is for the Imam and whoever prays alone; as for who is led in a prayer, the Sutrah of his Imam is Sutrah for him.
15- At prostration: Erecting the two feet and joining them to each other and making the fingers in the direction of Qiblah. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “One night I missed the Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) in his bed, so I looked for him and so my hands touched his soles during his prayer in the Masjid and his feet are erected …” [Reported by Muslim].
Scholars deduced from this Hadeeth the permissibility of erecting the feet at prostration.
16- Not to leave food when it falls, as people are accustomed to do. The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When any one of you drops food he should pick it up and remove any of the filth on it, and then eat it, and should not leave it for Satan, and should not wipe his hand with towel until he has licked his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of the food the blessing lies” [Reported by Muslim].
As for what people say about having the food licked or partially eaten by the Satan at its fall; it has no origin.
17- To say when being afflicted with a catastrophe: “All praise is due to Allah in all affairs”, as the Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) used to say [Reported by Ibn Maja and declared good by Al-Albani].
Transliteration: Al Hamdu Lilah ‘Ala Kuli Hal.
As for some people’s saying: “All praise is due to Allah Whom none is praised for misfortune but Him”, it is proof for having little or imperfect patience, as it is mentioned by Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Uthaimin in his explanation to Riyadh As-Salihin Book Vol. 1.
18- To rest the animal when slaughtering it: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah has enjoined perfection in everything; therefore, when you kill you should do it perfectly, and when you slaughter you should do it perfectly, and you should sharpen your knife and rest your sacrifice (slaughtered animal)” [Reported by At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah, and declared authentic by Al-Albani].
19- To seek refuge with Allah from four things, after the last Tashahud: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When anyone of you ends the last Tashahud he should seek refuge with Allah from four: Hellfire’s torture, grave’s torture, affliction of life and death and affliction of Al-Maseih Ad-Dajjal (i.e. the Antichrist).” [Reported by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah and declared authentic by Al-Albani].

21- To say when the wind blows: “O Allah, I ask you its good and the good that it contains and the good that it is sent with, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil that it contains and the evil that it is sent with.” [Reported by At-Tirmidhi and declared authentic by Al-Albani]
Transliteration: Allahuma Ini ‘As’aluka Khairaha Wa Khaira Ma Feeha Wa Khair Ma Ursilat Bih, Wa ‘A’uthu Bika Min Shariha Wa Shari Ma Feeha Wa Shari Ma Ursilat Bih.
22- To say at hearing the crow of a rooster: “O Allah, I ask you from Your grace.”
Transliteration: Allahuma Ini ‘As’aluka Min Fadlik
The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When you hear the (crowing of) roosters, ask Allah from His grace, because they saw an angel …” [Reported by At-Tirmidhi and declared authentic by Al-Albani]
23- To say at entering the market: “There is no God except Allah Alone, with no associate. His is the dominion, to Him is praise, and He gives life and death, while He is ever alive and does not die, In His Hands lies every good, and He is over everything omnipotent.” [Reported by Ibn Majah and declared good by Al-Albani]
Transliteration: 'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd, Yuhee Wa Yumeet Wa Huwa Hayun La Yamut,Byadihi Al-Khayr, wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadir
24- To say at rainfall: “O Allah (make it) beneficial rain.” [Declared authentic by Al-Albani]
Transliteration: Allahuma Sayiban Nafi’an
25- To say after rainfall: “We’ve been rained by the grace and mercy of Allah.” [Declared authentic by Al-Albani]
Transliteration: Muttirna Bi Fadli Lahi Wa Rahamatih
26- To say at the prostration of reciting the Holy Quran: “My face fell in prostration before He who created it and brought forth its faculties of hearing and seeing by His might and power. So Blessed is Allah, the best of creators...” [Reported by At-Tirmidhi and declared authentic by Al-Albani]
Transliteration: Sajada Wahi Lilathi Khalaqah, Wa Shaqa Sam’ahu Wa Basarah, Bihawlihi Wa Quwatih Fatabarak Allahu Ahsanul Khalqeen.
27- To say at hearing thunder: “Glorified is the One Whom thunder glorifies by praising, and the angels because of His fear (their fear of Him)” ]Declared authentic by Al-Albani].
Transliteration: Subhan Al-Lathi Yusabih Ar-Ra’du Bi Hamdih Wal Mala’ikatu Min Khefatih.
Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) used to leave the Hadeeth and say it whenever he heard thunder [Muwatta Imam Malik. Al-Albani said that its chain of transmission is authentic as untraceable]
28- To say before having sexual intercourse with the wife: “In the name of Allah, O Allah, set Satan away from us and set him away from whatever You have provided us.” [Reported by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]
Transliteration: Bismillah, Allahuma Janibana Al-Shayatan Wa Janabil Shaytan Ma Razaqtana.
29- At yawn, try to stop it (i.e. yawning) as possible as you can: It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Yawn is from the Satan; therefore, when one of you yawn he should prevent it as much possible as he can, because when one of you says ‘Haaa’ Satan laughs at him.” [Declared authentic by Al-Albani]
30- Seeking refuge with Allah when hearing barking of a dog or braying of donkey: The Messenger of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “If you heard the barking of dogs and braying of donkeys at night, you should seek refuge with Allah from Satan, because they see what you do not see.” [Declared authentic by Al-Albani]
31- To say when praying for guidance (Istkhara): On the authority of Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah he said: “The Prophet, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, would instruct us to pray for guidance in all of our concerns, just as he would teach us a chapter from the Qur’an. He, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, would say ‘if any of you intends to undertake a mater then let him pray two supererogatory Rak’as of prayer and after which he should supplicate: ‘O Allah, I seek Your counsel by Your knowledge and by Your power I seek strength and I ask You from Your immense favour, for verily You are able while I am not and verily You know while I do not and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know this affair -and here he mentions his need- to be good for me in relation to my religion, my life, and end, then decree and facilitate it for me, and bless me with it, and if You know this affair to be ill for me towards my religion, my life, and end, then dismiss it from me and dismiss me from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it be and make me satisfied with such.’” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
Transliteration: 'Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi'ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa as'alaka min fadlika al-'athiem Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa ta'lamu Wala a'lamu, Wa anta 'allamu l-ghuyub.
