اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ صُبَيْحٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : ”مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ.“ ¤ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْخُوزِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ”مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ يَغْضَبْ عَلَيْهِ.“

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Supplication (du'a) is worship. Allah the Exalted says:
﴿اِِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَسْتَکْبِرُوْنَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِی سَیَدْخُلُوْنَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِیْنَ﴾ (: Al-Mu’min: 60)
“Indeed, those who are arrogant regarding My worship will soon enter Hell, humiliated.”
The commentators (mufassirun) have interpreted “worship” here to mean supplication (du'a), because in the first part of the verse Allah the Exalted commands supplicating to Him.
From this it is understood that the more one asks from Allah the Exalted, the more pleased He becomes; therefore, not a single day of a person’s life should pass without supplication.
➋ When one does not ask, Allah the Exalted becomes displeased for two reasons: firstly, because this servant is heedless of Allah’s worship; and secondly, because not asking from Allah the Exalted is not free from two conditions—either the person is arrogant, considering himself self-sufficient, or he is despairing of Allah the Exalted. Both of these are causes of Allah’s wrath.
