بَابُ الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ الاسْتِخَارَةِChapter: Supplication in Istikhara
Hadith 705
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ ابْنُ أَخِي أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ : كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَعَا رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ ، إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ ، فَقَالَ : ”أَتَدْرُونَ بِمَا دَعَا ؟ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man made supplication and said: "O Creator of the heavens without any previous example! O Ever-Living, Sustainer! I ask You." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know with what he supplicated? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, he has supplicated to Allah with His Name that when supplication is made with it, He surely accepts it."
