بَابُ تَأْكِيدِ حُضُور القلب في الدُّعَاءِ واستحباب تعمِيمِهِ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَالْبَدْءِ بِنَفْسِهِ
Chapter on Emphasizing Presence of Heart in Supplication, Recommending General Supplication, and Beginning with Oneself
Hadith 5605
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْقُلُوبُ أَوْعِيَةٌ وَبَعْضُهَا أَوْعَى مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَاسْأَلُوهُ وَأَنْتُمْ مُوقِنُونَ بِالْإِجَابَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لِعَبْدٍ دَعَاهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ قَلْبٍ غَافِلٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hearts are like vessels, and some hearts are more receptive to remembrance than others. So, O people! When you ask Allah Almighty, do so with the certainty that your supplication will be accepted. Indeed, Allah Almighty does not accept the supplication of a servant who prays with a heedless and inattentive heart.
Hadith 5606
عَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِمُحَمَّدٍ وَحْدَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ حَجَبْتَهَا عَنْ نَاسٍ كَثِيرِينَ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man supplicated: O Allah! Forgive only me and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have withheld it from many people.
Hadith 5607
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ أُبَيٍّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى هُودٍ وَعَلَى صَالِحٍ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that it is reported from Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the noble Prophets, he would begin with himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah’s mercy be upon us, upon Hud (peace be upon him), and upon Salih (peace be upon him).
Hadith 5608
عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ لِلْمَرْءِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ لِأَخِيهِ فَمَا دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلَّا قَالَ الْمَلَكُ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person prays for his brother in his absence, his prayer is accepted. In such a case, when he prays for his brother, an angel says: May the same be for you.
Hadith 5609
عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَوَجَدَ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أَتُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَادْعُ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهِ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ
Sayyiduna Safwan bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), whose wife was Sayyida Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her), Abu Zubair says: I went to him, but found Sayyida Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) at home. She asked me: Do you intend to perform Hajj this year? I said: Yes. She said: Then pray for goodness and well-being for us too, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prayer of a Muslim for his brother in his absence is accepted. In such a case, an angel is appointed at his head; whenever he prays for goodness and well-being for his brother, the angel says "Ameen" and says: And may you also have the same (goodness and well-being). When I went out to the market, I met Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), and he also narrated to me a similar hadith of the Prophet.
