Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
878. Commentary:
➊ Supplications of this nature by the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) were for the purpose of expressing gratitude and servitude, and also served as instruction for the Ummah.
➋ From this supplication and those that follow, it becomes completely clear that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is neither the Knower of the unseen nor the absolute disposer of affairs; rather, he is the perfect servant of Allah and a commanded servant (bound by the command of Allah).
