Hadith 5582
Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.
عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنْ يَنْفَعَ حَذَرٌ مِنْ قَدَرٍ وَلَكِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ يَنْفَعُ مِمَّا نَزَلَ وَمِمَّا لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Preparation for anything does not benefit against destiny, but supplication benefits in matters that have already descended and in those that have not yet descended. Therefore, O servants of Allah! Hold fast to supplication.

عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ أَنَّ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no Muslim on the face of the earth who calls upon Allah Almighty, except that Allah grants him (what he asks), or averts from him an evil equal to that supplication.
Hadith 5585
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِثْمٌ وَلَا قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ إِمَّا أَنْ تُعَجَّلَ لَهُ دَعْوَتُهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا قَالُوا إِذًا نُكْثِرُ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a Muslim makes a supplication in which there is nothing sinful or anything involving breaking ties of kinship, Allah Almighty grants him one of three things: either his supplication is quickly accepted, or it is stored for him for the Hereafter, or an evil equal to it is averted from him. The Companions said: Then we will make many supplications. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah is even more generous.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, supplication is worship itself. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: {وَقَالَ رَبُّکُمْ ادْعُونِی أَسْتَجِبْ لَکُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِینَ یَسْتَکْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِی سَیَدْخُلُونَ جَہَنَّمَ دَاخِرِینَ} … And your Lord has said: Call upon Me, I will respond to your supplications. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will soon enter Hell, humiliated. (Surah Ghafir: 60) (Surah Ghafir is also called Surah Mumin).

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among the Muslims firmly sets his face before Allah for asking (supplicating), Allah grants him in every case; either He gives it quickly, or He stores it up for him.
