Hadith 96
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ ، سَمِعَ ابْنَهُ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْرَ الْأَبْيَضَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلْتُهَا ، فَقَالَ : أَيْ بُنَيَّ ، سَلِ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَتَعَوَّذْ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ فِي الطَّهُورِ وَالدُّعَاءِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mughaffal: Abdullah heard his son praying to Allah: O Allah, I ask Thee a white palace on the right of Paradise when I enter it. He said: O my son, ask Allah for Paradise and seek refuge in Him from Hell-Fire, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: In this community there will be some people who will exceed the limits in purification as well as in supplication.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is understood that to waste excessive water in purification (istinja, ablution [wudu], ritual bath [ghusl], etc.) is impermissible. Especially, to fall into doubt regarding istinja is not from the Shariah; rather, after ablution, one should sprinkle water on the private area.
➋ Supplication (dua) should also be comprehensive, just as those transmitted and prescribed from the Noble Qur’an and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is necessary to keep in mind the greatness and reverence of Allah Ta'ala in supplication (du'a).
➋
Whoever reaches Paradise (Jannah) will receive there every thing that he desires; therefore, it is not necessary to mention the details of the blessings of Paradise in supplication.
➌
It is permissible to supplicate for Jannat al-Firdaws or for the neighborhood of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), because glad tidings for these have been mentioned regarding certain deeds.
