It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was supplicating: "O Allah! I ask You for complete blessing." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know what complete blessing is?" He replied: Complete blessing is that a servant enters Paradise and is saved from Hellfire. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by another man who was saying: "O Allah! I ask You for patience." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have asked your Lord for calamity; instead, ask for well-being." He passed by another person who was saying: "O Possessor of Majesty and Honor." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Ask Allah for something."
