Hadith 1042
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: أَبْخَلُ النَّاسِ الَّذِي يَبْخَلُ بِالسَّلاَمِ، وَإِنَّ أَعْجَزَ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَجَزَ بِالدُّعَاءِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The most miserly of people is the one who is miserly in greeting (salaam), and the most incapable and helpless is the one who is even incapable of making supplication (du'a).

Benefits and Issues:
➊ This narration is established both as mawquf (attributed to a Companion) and marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). (Al-Sahihah, Hadith: 601)
➋ The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sought refuge from incapacity and laziness, and the greatest misfortune is that a person is deprived of the ability to supplicate (du‘a) itself, and does not even get the opportunity to present his needs before Allah Ta‘ala.
